Robert Woods, the star of this film, stated in an interview with regard to it, "Only once, doing a lead in Hong Kong on a film called 'Savage in the City' with Victor Buono, did I seriously injure myself. John Shadow, the director, asked me to jump from a wall. It was twelve feet, and the surface I had to land on was concrete. I fractured my ankles, but somehow managed to finish the film. It took roughly two years to recover, and I don't and won't do that anymore."
