Clearing the songs for use in the film took up approximately half of its budget.
Francis Ford Coppola, who directed The Godfather (1972), contributed money to the film's budget.
While raising money for the film, Martin Scorsese was offered a healthy sum by his mentor Roger Corman on the condition that he shoot the movie with an all-black cast. Scorsese had to turn Corman down.
