Anecdotes
This is one of only two films which Bruce Lee acted in where he spoke with his own voice (the other being Opération Dragon (1973)). This is also the only film in which Lee played a villain.

Gaffes
In his limousine, Crowell dictates a message on a recording machine, then removes a cassette tape from the machine and hands it to Marlowe, who puts it in his chest pocket. A moment later, Marlowe puts the same tape in his chest pocket again.

Winslow Wong: May I reach for my pocket?
Philip Marlowe: It would give me great pleasure to see you do something foolish.

Watch This for Rita Moreno Alone!

Rita Moreno steals this movie! Plus, she had great chemistry with James Garner which is why they used her on Rockford files. Somewhat complicated plot about P.I. Garner finding a missing brother of an actress who also happens to be dating a gangster. Cameos by Bruce Lee, Jackie Coogan, Carroll O'Connor etc. Great 1960's Los Angeles/Hollywood locales (the strip joint used in the film went on to become the famous Roxbury on Sunset Blvd). I love everything about this movie, the clothes, the cars, the great 60's style overall. Rita Moreno in a platinum blond wig doing a strip tease at the end is worth the price of admission! She even shows a little nudity (if viewed un-edited) which is rare for a star of her magnitude to do in the late 60's. Sharon Farrell is another actress with lots of charisma who is used to little here. Gayle Hunnicutt (who I love) is miscast here as Sharon Farrell's sister, although she adds a lot of glamour. The script is a little hard to follow but it is quite an enjoyable movie as the action never slows down for too long.
