Trivia

When Clint Eastwood arrived on the set, he was struck by how little the Italian crew and writers knew about the American West they were filming about. For example, he had to point out that coonskin caps were worn by frontiersmen and trappers in the Davy Crockett era, circa the 1820s, not by gunfighters and townsmen in the American West and Mexico of the 1870s, as the scriptwriters had written.

Goofs

Factual errors: In the scene where the Mexican cavalry are ambushed at the river, the machine gun used by the 'US Cavalry' is unloaded at all times - it is a belt fed weapon, yet has no belt of rounds in it - it presumably has caps in the end to produce the muzzle smoke. Furthermore a hand cranked Gatling Gun would be more appropriate to the time line the film is set around than the slightly more modern air cooled belt fed weapon used. See more »

Quotes

Joe: Because I knew someone like you once and there was no one there to help. Now, get moving.
