“Race is not a factor in the world market. I once played a part written for an Irish prize fighter. I’ve done everything but play an Anglo-Saxon. I’d do that if I could. I’d play a Viking with blue contact lenses and a blond wig if I could. My dream is to play a Mexican bandit in the international market.”

- Woody Strode (Stony – Member of Frank’s Gang), sole Black member of the cast, in an interview with The Boston Globe, 20 Dec. 1981, on his love for films produced in Europe.
