During the making of the film, the stunt arranger Gil(bert-Yves) Delamare was killed doubling for Marais. A doyen of French stunt drivers, Delamare was skidding a Renault Floride S convertible for a twilight scene on a new patch of freeway when its back axle snapped rolling him and his passengers into a barrier. He was mortally injured when he struck his head on the windscreen. The stunt passengers were thrown clear and survived.
