Trivia

Reportedly, during filming, star Charles Bronson didn't want to kiss actress Lee Remick in the scene at airport. Bronson said that "When my wife meets me at an airport, we never kiss." Director Don Siegel asked Remick to kiss him anyway and Remick replied, "But, Don, I don't dare. He's liable to hit me!" The airport greeting scene went ahead and made Don's day.

The braided wedding bands worn by Charles Bronson and Lee Remick are the same as those worn by Walter Matthau and Jacqueline Scott in Charley Varrick (1973) which was also directed by this film's director Don Siegel.

Goofs

When Hassler's (Ed Bakey) helicopter is approaching the Appalachicola Naval Communications Station, the station's "radar" display shows the blip representing the helicopter move before, and after the the rotational scan; not when it is hit by the beam, as in reality.

KGB officers and insignias are quite messy (stars and stripes are of not correct size etc.)

Share this

Sergeant in KGB office is pulling out unloaded gun to shoot everyone in the room. The gun is revolver which used to be Soviet Army official gun but was changed soon after WWII to Makarov (clip type). Hence quite unlikely general would have such an obsolete weapon in his office minding all the security and control in KGB.
