Production
Following the release of Dark Star, Assault was supposed to be one of two ultra-low-budget films written by John Carpenter, to be directed by Carpenter and financed by J. Stein Kaplan and Joseph Kaufman. The second script was entitled Eyes. After reviewing the first draft of Assault and following the subsequent sale of the script Eyes to Barbra Streisand and Jon Peters, later renamed Eyes of Laura Mars, Kaplan and Kaufman concentrated on just Assault. "J. Stein Kaplan was a friend of mine from USC," replied Carpenter. "He knew Joseph Kaufman from his days in Philadelphia … Basically their fathers were funding Assault on Precinct 13". The two families of the producers formed the CKK corporation to finance the film.
