    Trivia: There are 2 entries in the trivia list – like these:

    • Sam Peckinpah wrote the original script and was set to direct, but Yul Brynner didnt like the script because it made Pancho Villa – a man who had given standing orders to shoot all prisoners – “look like a bad guy”. Peckinpah was fired and his script was rewritten by Robert Towne to conform to Brynners idea of what Villa was like.
    • One of the extras in the film, playing a Mexican guerrilla girl, is Turkish singer Seyyal Taner. She would later receive notoriety for scoring no points in the 1987 Eurovision song contest.
