Trivia
When Al Pereira gets off the bus upon his arrival in Alicante, an audio report in Spanish, likely on radio, is advertising the Alicante release of the movie 'Alphaville, une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution (1965)' mentioning it's "by Jean-Luc Godard, the director of 'À bout de souffle (1960)' and that it stars Eddie Constantine and Anna Karina. Since Constantine is also the star of this film, this breaks the fourth wall.

Goofs
The story depends on a made-up fact that some people, instead of having a blood type of "positive" or "negative," are neither. The term they used for this was "Rhesus zero," which doesn't really exist.

Connections
Referenced in Viaje a Bangkok, ataúd incluido (1985)

One of my sci-fi/horror/fantasy reviews written 50 years ago: "Attack of the Robots" was directed by Jesus Franco; Screenplay by Franco and Jean-Claude Carriere; music by Paul Misraki, released in America by American-International TV, as a French-Spanish co-production. Starring Eddie Constantine, Fernando Rey, Francoise Brion and Sophie Hardy.

Action film of science-fiction interest due to Franco's imitation Fritz Lang plot involving assassinations performed by robot minions of a mad heavy, with Constantine appearing as Lemmy Caution bulling his way to the heart of the matter, loaded with tough guy dialogue as usual.
