Production
The film was originally written by James Gordon White as a Western but was rewritten to be a biker film. It was shot in Panamint with a starting budget of $10,000. White recalled, "It’s not a great work of art, but it made a hell of a lot of money, and it got me an exclusive contract with AIP. To my knowledge I’m the only one that was under contract with American International as a writer."[1]
