Production
Chuck Norris makes his film debut in a small role, and Bruce Lee is credited with being the film's karate advisor.
Also appearing in the film are Nancy Kwan as Wen Yu-Rang, Tina Louise as Lola Medina, and Nigel Green as the villainous Count Contini.
Helm's chief at ICE, MacDonald, is John Larch in this film, replacing James Gregory, who played the role in the other three films. Gregory said in an interview in Filmfax magazine that he was sent a reduced amount for his fee in the film. He was told that the film was reducing its budget, but Gregory refused to take the lower fee.
This is the only film in the series not to feature Helm's secretary, Lovey Kravesit, played by Beverly Adams.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The growing of food and the growing of children are both vital to the family’s survival.... Who would dare make the judgment that holding your youngest baby on your lap is less important than weeding a few more yards in the maize field? Yet this is the judgment our society makes constantly. Production of autos, canned soup, advertising copy is important. Housework—cleaning, feeding, and caring—is unimportant.”
—Debbie Taylor (20th century)
“The production of too many useful things results in too many useless people.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The society based on production is only productive, not creative.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
