Wissenswertes
Although known primarily as a "blaxploitation" film, it holds many Neo Noir elements including police procedural (including Anthony Quinn as a slightly crooked cop with a good heart); poor sympathetic criminals stealing from unsympathetic rich criminals; and different factions of the mob and/or gangs.

Patzer
Shortly into the movie while counting the money, two cops knock on the door. The tablecloth with the money is folded up and pushed to the floor. When the cops enter the room the tablecloth, money and briefcase are back on the table.

Zitate
Lt. Pope: What else brings whites to Harlem but business?

Alternative Versionen
The original UK cinema version was cut by the BBFC with edits made to nearly all the fight scenes and shots of beatings, and heavy cuts to shootings and a man on fire during the climax. All later releases were uncut.

A still undiscovered classic

This movie sweats. Early on in the mostly pandering "blacksplotation" film cycle of the seventies, came this incredibly violent, hate filled drama of three small time crooks who stumble on a big score and their hopeless attempt to survive it. The film is utterly dark and features nary a cheap shot or moment of easy cynicism.

In one scene Anthony Quinn and Yaphet Kotto go to the apartment of one of the crooks lovers, already slain, to look for information and break the news. This is one of the most heartbreaking scenes ever put on film, a model of restraint and economy in a film that is busting at the seams. Actors who were probably barely in another movie give magnificent performances. The neglected Kotto was never better.

A very disturbing film that demands to be seen; art.
