Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

Roger Greenspun of The New York Times wrote in his review: 'Clay Pigeon also makes no sense. But its directors, Tom Stern and Lane Slate, have a certain willingness to take each moment as it comes, and its absurdities more often seem the products of a super-active exuberance than of a failed imagination. In its particular field—sex and violence—'Clay Pigeon' just falls short of being very good.'^[10]

Clay Pigeon was released in theatres in August 1971. The film was released on DVD on April 27, 1999 and later on July 6, 2010 by PolyGram Filmed Entertainment.^[11]
