Production

Fred Williamson had recently starred in Hammer (1972), produced by Bernard Schwartz, which had been a big success. This led to Universal Pictures signing him for three films featuring the Bolt character as a black James Bond, but avoiding the urban locations of blaxploitation films. The first film was also produced by Schwartz and was known during shooting as Thunderbolt.

Filming look place on location in Hong Kong, Kowloon, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas. The picture began shooting under director Henry Levin. In April 1973, Levin fell ill and was replaced by David Lowell Rich. Reportedly Levin shot for 28 days, including the Hong Kong sequences, while Rich shot for ten days, and supervised the editing. On his days off during filming, Williamson shot scenes for Hell Up in Harlem.
