Le dernier pénitencier (1973)

Trivia

Le dernier pénitencier

Edit
Outtakes and unedited footage of Phyllis Davis and Barbara Leigh's nude scenes were featured (without the actresses consent) in the direct to video Famous T & A (1982).
Phyllis Davis once told an interviewer it was fun making this movie but she found out later the producers ignored the no frontal nudity contract she signed. She jumped into a river totally nude and they were supposed to only film her from the back and her breasts when she came out. Seven or eight years later, images of her nude, including full frontal, from that scene showed up in a magazine. The producers had sold the rights. She said she wouldn't have complained, but it was a terrible picture. Davis sued them but after so many years, her contract wasn't good anymore. The production company had also gone bankrupt, so she just dropped it. There is also now a video of that scene on the internet with unedited footage showing Davis standing around full frontal naked laughing and talking to the crew as they set up the shot. She had no idea they were filming.
The budget didn't allow producers to hire many stunt people, so actors had to perform their own stunts in most scenes. But one scene where a prisoner is enveloped in fire had to be filmed with a stuntman at the cost of $1,800. But, after he performed the stunt, the filmmakers realized the camera hadn't been running. So they had to bring him back the next day and refilm it, costing them another $1,800.
Tom Selleck and Roger E. Mosley both went on to star in Magnum (1980).
The script included several more violent scenes and nudity, but director Stephanie Rothman didn't want to direct what she considered an "exploitation" film, so she cut a lot of them out. But to this day the film is still considered exploitation.
