Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe street riot scenes were all shot on the exterior Baker Street standing set at Pinewood that had been constructed the previous year for the movie The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970). This street appears in other films/TV series shot at Pinewood around this time too, including The Amazing Mr. Blunden (1972), Carry on at Your Convenience (1971), The Persuaders! (1971) and UFO (1970). Some of the footage of the riot scenes was later re-used for the 1978 episode Look After Annie (1978) of the TV series The Professionals (1977).
- Crazy creditsThe lettering in the opening title sequence and the closing caption "The End" was in a handwritten font, to mimic the graffiti used for the film's title "All Coppers Are [Bastards]".

Featured review
passable but nothing more
This has the makings of a good film but never quite delivers. it has a good visual sense with some nice camera work and solid location shooting but the story has too many faults.
The plot concerns a working-class criminal and a married cop going after the same girl. The cop and the crim get along well at first but that changes after they know what each other does for a living and it ends in a final confrontation that ends tragically.
The basic fault with the plot is that it's too contrived and relies on far too many coincidences of the main characters running into each other to keep the plotline going. It seems that whenever the cop is on his beat he always seems to run into the criminal and the girl.
Also, the central character is the cop but because the actor playing him fails to inject much charisma into the role the crim comes off as the much more sympathetic and interesting (and better acted) character.
Still, all in all not a bad film.
