There's a line where he snarls, 'Nobody tells me what to do'. That's exactly how I've felt all my life." The main differences between the screenplay and Frank Rooney's source story, "Cyclists' Raid", were that there were no rival gangs nor any romance between Cathy and any of the motorcyclists, and indeed she is the victim of the fatal motorcycle accident. Unlike in the film, it is her father (who is not a policeman) who exacts violent revenge upon an innocent young motorcyclist. Our objection is to the unrestricted hooliganism.

On November 21, 1967, the film was passed for exhibition by the BBFC and received an 'X' certificate.
