Trivia
Star Arch Hall Jr. was a sharpshooter, and when some of the attempts to fire "fake" bullets from his gun failed, he suggested that he fire live ammunition above the heads of the other actors. They agreed and a number of gunshots in the film are quite authentic.

Goofs

Quotes
Opening Narration: The words of a sadist, one of the most disruptive elements in human society. To have complete mastery over another, to make him a helpless object, to humiliate him, to enslave, to inflict moral insanity upon the innocent. That is his objective, and his twisted pleasure!
