Filming:
Shot in Tampa, Florida, from 7th August 1972. The filming lasted fifteen days, including twelve with Shatner and the last three with other actors. During one take of the scene where Shatner’s character hangs Sakata’s character to death, actor Sakata nearly died of being accidentally hanged by a tight rope. Fortunately, with Sakata’s “superior neck development”, the crew was able to save his life. Shatner broke his finger during the incident while supporting Sakata’s weight.
