In making the film Roger Corman analysed three other recent low-budget rural action thrillers that had been big hits, Billy Jack (1971), Walking Tall (1973) and Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry (1974).
With refinements, he would continue to pursue this theme (revenge) and this style, right up through his creative resurgence in the ’70s: Ben (1972), Walking Tall (1973) and Framed (1975).
Johnson's character's name was now Chris Vaughn, and the film's setting became semi-rural Kitsap County, Washington, although it was filmed in Squamish, B.C., Canada.
