* DawsonCasting: Creator/CharlesBronson was thought to be too old to play a Vietnam veteran.
* HostilityOnTheSet: On the first day of production, Creator/CharlesBronson got angry about a delay caused by a late transport truck carrying cars necessary for the scene that was to be shot. Finally, he yelled to director Richard Fleischer within earshot of the entire crew, "You know what this company needs - it needs a European first assistant and a European crew!" The crew was so insulted by this remark that at the end of the day, they told Fleischer they would be leaving the production. They were persuaded to stay, but for the rest of the shoot they never spoke to Bronson unless they absolutely had to. Later in the shoot, Bronson commented to Fleischer, "I just don't understand it. Nobody calls me 'Charlie' on this picture. They only call me 'Mr. Bronson'."
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/ElmoreLeonard wrote this with Creator/ClintEastwood in mind. Leonard had previously written the screenplay for Eastwood's ''Film/JoeKidd''. Producer Walter Mirisch had originally bought the film rights to the screenplay as a project for Creator/SteveMcQueenActor.
