Trivia
The street riot scenes were all shot on the exterior Baker Street standing set at Pinewood that had been constructed the previous year for the movie The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970). This street appears in other films/TV series shot at Pinewood around this time too, including The Amazing Mr. Blunden (1972), Carry on at Your Convenience (1971), The Persuaders! (1971) and UFO (1970). Some of the footage of the riot scenes was later re-used for the 1978 episode Look After Annie (1978) of the TV series The Professionals (1977).

Quotes
Sue: You're a straight fella, aren't you?
Joe: Straight? Yeah. What do you mean?
Sue: Well, I mean - not a con man - on the fiddle or anything, like Barry?

Crazy credits
The lettering in the opening title sequence and the closing caption "The End" was in a handwritten font, to mimic the graffiti used for the film's title "All Coppers Are [Bastards]".

Missed opportunity.

All coppers are has a lot going for it. Set in gritty London of the 70s. Its the story of 2 men on opposing sides of the law. It features a strong cast and even a fresh faced David Essex. But the it tends to lack the courage of its convictions. Where the story should have been at its strongest the makers seemed to have lacked the courage to carry it through. Also most of the characters are very unsympathetic. The film does have its moments but it could have been so much better.
