Quiz
When the film was previewed in January 1974, John Wayne was being treated for pneumonia in London. He became seriously ill after appearing on the interview show PARKINSON, which had been recorded a few days earlier. The illness was considered life-threatening as Wayne was 66 and only had one lung, and he had COPD in his remaining lung. He began coughing so hard that he damaged a valve in his heart, although this would not be diagnosed until early in 1978.

Blooper
McQ uses an Ingram MAC-10 9mm machine pistol, which fires approximately 20 rounds per second. No empty cartridges are ejected from the gun when firing the MAC-10 in the car on the beach. Emptying a full 30-round magazine would have sprayed casings all over the car.

Citazioni
[McQ has just test-fired a MAC-10 submachine gun, and is putting it inside his leather bag. Jack, the gun shop owner reacts to this]
Jack: You're not going to take it, are you?
McQ: Just say it's a loan.
Jack: Lon, it's not licensed!
McQ: Jack, neither am I.

Versioni alternative
The 1980s Warner Home Video VHS master was made from a 16mm TV print missing ten seconds of footage including during the car chase involving a laundry truck, an additional punch from Santiago when he confronts McQ in his office, and the introduction of Santiago's henchman before the final chase on the beach. The later video releases and DVD are uncut.

John Wayne as a tough as nails cop .... all John Wayne fans will enjoy

Okay so John Wayne will forever be remembered as "The Duke" in a countless string of westerns, but watching him play an honorable and tough as nails cop named Police Lieutenant Lon McQ, is worth every penny watching him do "his thing". Some of the other IMDb reviewers have compared this film to the Dirty Harry (Clint Eastwood) films but in fact The Duke, is just playing himself and rather than seeing him riding a big horse The Duke is seen cruising and shooting in his extremely rare Brewster Green 1973 Pontiac Trans Am SD-455 (Super Duty). I could not imagine the Hollywood heavyweight John Wayne squeezing into a two (2) door 1974 Ford Pinto so of course if he is playing a cop out to revenge his friends murder and defending himself against a mob and drug cartel, the director has to put The Duke behind a muscle car.

Honestly, I have NEVER seen a bad John Wayne film and this is no exception. In fact I quite enjoyed the storyline, and John Wayne was perfectly cast as the lone detective out seeking justice with a big, big gun and two big fists. You will not be disappointed.

I give McQ a solid 7 out of 10 IMDb rating.
