 D'Amato produced the film with his "P.C.M.International" (the acronym standing for "Produzioni Cinematografiche Massaccesi"), which he had already used to produce "Sesso nero" and "Antropophagus", while Edward Sarlui provided additional funding with his Panamanian company Metaxa Corporation and acted as shield - so much so that the film never became Italian and ended up being officially Panamanian.However, D'Amato later twisted it back his way and distributed it with his company "Cinema 80".
