Director Nick Nostro commented on actor Giovanni Cianfriglia as Superargo in the film, stating that he had him act like Zorro.[5] Nostro claimed he got him the best voice actor he could find and then felt "despite his shortcomings, he made a good impression on screen."[5] Nostro stated that the film was shot with exteriors in Barcelona and interiors shot in Rome a De Paolis studios.[5] Nostro added that due to the cheap budget, his producer had them shoot some indoor scenes at his villa in Frascati.[5][6]
