Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Woody Strode, a genuine Hollywood pioneer and Spartacus star, took this role late in his career during the Italian exploitation boom—part of a sad pattern of American actors cashing paychecks in Rome's trash-cinema golden age.
This film is essentially a Mad Max 2 rip-off made two years later with 1% of the budget, embodying Italy's entire 1980s genre-film industry: see what worked, copy it badly, add nudity.
