Assault... Trivia
When Stoker is given his assignment he is told to report to Precinct 9;
Division 13, not Precinct 13. The name of the film probably arose from
the widely held superstitous fear of the number 13. Assault On Precinct
9 doesn't have quite the dramatic impact of the actual title.
The editor is credited as James T. Chance, the name of John Wayne's
character in Rio Bravo (on which this film was based) but the actual editor
was director John Carpenter.
