Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Duccio Tessari directed this between his iconic spaghetti westerns, apparently desperate to prove Italians could crash vehicles in color too. The 1.0 TMDB rating suggests he failed.
This belongs to a bizarre 1970s subgenre: 'Euro aviation bro films,' where Frecce Tricolori pilots were treated like rock stars and plot was optional. See also: anything with Terence Hill and a helicopter.
