Der Film beginnt in der US Fassung mit einem auf blauem Grund scrollenden Text, der zusätzlich verlesen wird:
The path of the righteous man
and defender is beset on all sides
by the inequities of the selfish,
and the tyranny of evil men.
Blessed is he, who in the name
of charity and good will,
shepherds the weak through
The valley of darkness,
for he is truly his brother's keeper,
and the father of lost children.
And I will execute great vengeance
upon them with furious anger,
who poison and destroy my brothers;
and they shall know that I am
CHIBA the BODYGUARD
When I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
EZEKIEL 25:17
Als eins seiner vielen Filmzitate verwendete Chiba Fan Quentin Tarantino diesen Text in seinem Werk Pulp Fiction, wo er deutlichen Einfluß auf den Kultcharakter des Streifens ausübte.
