Trivia
The French cargo ship aboard which Yoko travels to Marseille is the Frank Delmas (3rd of that name), built in 1975 and already a bit rusty when the film was shot. It was sold two years later to Liberia, re-sold to Panama in 1991, re-sold to Greece in 1998, and scrapped in 1999.

Goofs
Although the cine-film at the start is meant to be of Bangkok, it is in fact somewhere in Japan as all the shop signs are in Japanese and NOT in Thai as they should be/are in Bangkok.

Quotes
Tong: I suggest you continue your visit in the basement, where you may admire a woman wrestling. We have some private rooms with masseuses entirely at your service.

Rollin's action movie is not bad

This is a different kind of film from the horror director Jean Rollin. It's a crime-adventure that is unlike his usual films, but it's a pretty good one actually. For sure it has a lot more to the plot than usual Rollin flicks. The visual style is not as special but it looks all right.

It was a movie that didn't bore me, but in the long run I think I will mostly stick to his horror films. But for Rollin fans I would recommend checking out this film too. I like having it in my collection.
