Trivia
Legendary female wrestler Mildred Burke, along with two of her pupils (who appear in the first match while the credits roll), trained the two leads for several weeks. After intensive work, Laurene Landon and Vicki Frederick were able to perform the wrestling action without doubles.

Goofs
After the initial match, when Harry and the girls are leaving the Akron Arena, the strap on Molly's duffle bag switches positions from over her shoulder to her front then back to over her shoulder.

Quotes
Fan: [Yelling to Molly, while walking through the arena hall with Iris and Harry] Hey, honey, you look better, with your clothes off!
Molly: [Flips him off]
Harry Sears: I didn't know you were bilingual.

Hardhitting marbles and true gemstone

Talk about buried treasures, this is such a one: A tough, gritty movie that has the feel of a fly-on-the-wall documentary. Aldrich has produced a no-holds barred roadmovie about a female freewrestling tag team, marvelously played by drive-in favorite Laurene Landon and Vicki Friderick and Peter Falk plays the girls greasy manager, a perfect role for him. The team wrestles in rundown industrial towns in hardhitting, brutal battles. Amazing choreography is sure to keep you at the edge of the seat However many are likely to find this movie too brutal for their taste, so if Rollerball is you cup of tea, step right up. If you taste more goes in direction of Driving Miss Daisy, this may not be the movie for you. Overdue for DVD release. 9/10
