Quiz
Boggs' wife, Edith, was played by Culp's then-wife, Sheila Sullivan.

Blooper
During the final gun battle, the title characters take cover behind two cars, a Firebird and a Rolls, which get shot up. The bullet holes visible in the latter don't look like the popular perception of 'clean' round bullet holes in metal, but splintered like wood or GRP (glassfibre).

Citazioni
Frank Boggs: The only thing you can do is goddamn try to even it up, make it right.

A missing gem of 1970's crime dramas...

Unknown or forgotten, and never released on video, this unexpectedly gritty film from Robert Culp (who also directed) and Bill Cosby is light years away from their popular I Spy series. As two low-end private eyes, neither has ever been more effective on screen before. An interesting, atypical contrast of styles in their acting; Cosby plays it humorless, (in a realistic, lived-in fashion, not a tough guy caricature) while Culp is alternates several nice modes for his character.

The earliest directorial effort from Walter Hill stands among the best of his career (it would make a fine double bill with his classic THE DRIVER), and also among the best of the rich era of 1970's crime dramas. It was released by United Artists and the rights-holders would do us a favor to release it for sale. It has some class-A action scenes and two terrific central performances. Hopefully will soon see the light of day again and gain some of the reputation it so deserves.
