Goofs
Near the conclusion of the movie, as David Redfern and Rankl struggle for control of the gun, Rankl has it by the barrel, but when the camera angle changes he suddenly is holding it by the grip. In the Amazon Prime streaming version this happens at about 1:30:04.

Quotes
David Redfern: [reading inscription] 'To Zeus, from Apollodorus. Not by ignoring evil does one overcome it, but by going to meet it.'
Aribi: The world has more evil than a dog fleas. We were given eyes, but for our comfort the wisdom of knowing when to shut them.

Golden gem from Ronald Neame

When I first heard of Ronald Neame's name, it was for POSEIDON' S ADVENTURE, back in 1972, the same for his pal John Guillermin, in 1975, it was this time concerning TOWERING INFERNO, both disaster seventies films, commercial, and not "author" features. I really discovered the authentic, genuine filmographies of those British movie makers much much later, and it was far more interesting, with not necessarily gross intentions, at least not as much as for the seventies Hollywood stuff. This one GOLDEN SALAMANDER, is pretty good, exciting, with a terrific Herb Lom in a character that suits him like a glove. The plot is unfortunately predictable but the directing, and photography purely stunning.
