The film is based on a book written by Nancy Dowd, based in part on her brother Ned Dowd's experiences playing minor league hockey in the United States in the seventies, during which time violence, especially in the low minors, was the selling point of the game.

A more fundamental equation in Kuleshov's work lay in his conception of film and its elements as analogous to linguistic production: "Kuleshov [conceived] of the shot as a 'shot-sign' which could be syntactically combined with other shots to comprise scenes and sequences.
His analogies of shot to word, sequence to sentence and film to language were central to his establishmment of montage as the medium's primary structural principle--Kuleshov consequently set the pace for both montage theorists (e.g., Eisenstein and Pudovkin) and for film grammarians/linguists (e.g., Raymond Spottiswoode and Christian Metz" (Berg, 1975, p.

 Bank Shot Film Review - Time Out Film
It would be nice to say that ex-MGM choreographer Champion came up with a goodie in this adaptation of Donald Westlake's novel about an escaped con (Scott) who steals an entire (mobile) bank.
But despite sundry excellent ideas and the odd touch of magic (a scene shot in silhouette; Scott swimming out to sea at the end), Bank Shot is one of those caper films that start all stops out and have nowhere to go.
Potentially good gags get lost in the rush: the jailbreak accomplished in a bulldozer; the arrival of the stolen bank in a senior citizens' mobile home park - nothing is as funny as it should be.
