• During breaks in filming, Louis de Funès enjoyed parodying American police officers in front of the public, for which the latter presented him with a complete set of genuine police uniform.
• The film was released in the Soviet Union under the title "Mr. Krusho in New York".
• A segment of this film featuring the gendarmes on a tour of New York was used in "The Gendarme on Vacation".
• The musical "game of nerves" that Krusho engages in with New York hooligans is a parody of the musical "West Side Story".
• The film contains a blooper: at the beginning of the film, during the journey from Saint-Tropez to New York, the group of gendarmes boards a black van with the number 212 3955 at Paris airport, but during the ride, we see them traveling in exactly the same van, but with the number 212 3907.
