Willie Dynamite was produced by Richard Zanuck, son of legendary movie mogul Darryl F. Zanuck.

Willie Dynamite is based partially on Iceberg Slim's 1969 book Pimp: The Story of My Life.

Martha Reeves of Martha and the Vandellas sings two songs on the film's soundtrack - "King Midas" and "Keep On Movin' On."

Gilbert Moses composed part of the film's score with blaxploitation music legend J.J. Johnson.

Sands passed away from cancer right before the film was released in 1973.
