** Creator/EliWallach was meant to play Cheyenne, but Leone felt that he was too recognisable after ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly''. Again, he would have been a Mexican bandit, but this was changed when Creator/JasonRobards was cast. That's why Cheyenne, despite his American accent, speaks like English isn't his first language. It ultimately didn't matter, because Wallach would go on to play [[Film/AceHigh two other]] [[Film/DontTurnTheOtherCheek Mexican bandits]] in two other Spaghetti Westerns. Creator/KirkDouglas, an admirer of Leone, lobbied for the role.
