History Trivia / TheMagnificentSeven1960

* AllStarCast: This film has one of the coolest casts in the history of cinema: Creator/YulBrynner, Creator/{{Steve McQueen|Actor}}, Creator/CharlesBronson, Creator/RobertVaughn, Creator/JamesCoburn, Brad Dexter, and Creator/HorstBuchholz play the Seven. Brynner was already a star (known for ''{{Film/The Ten Commandments|1956}}'' and ''Theatre/TheKingAndI'', the latter of which won him an Oscar), and four of the others went on to become A-list stars thanks (in part) to this movie, including Creator/EliWallach, who played the villain, Calvera, who was already a big name on Broadway and became a familiar face in many successful movies later on, including his most recognizable role as scruffy drifter Tuco in ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'', and while Horst Bucholz didn't become an A-list star in America, he did become exceptionally popular in European cinema -- which leaves poor Brad Dexter as the only member of the main cast who didn't become a big star in some way (although he maintained his career as a solid character actor for twenty years afterwards).

* HostilityOnTheSet: Creator/YulBrynner and Creator/{{Steve McQueen|Actor}} disliked each other immensely. The little known [=McQueen=] did everything he could to try and steal the film away from the established star of the picture, which Brynner resented.
* TheOtherDarrin: In ''Return of the Seven'', Robert Fuller and Julian Mateos take over from Creator/{{Steve McQueen|Actor}} and Horst Buchholz; Creator/GeorgeKennedy replaced Creator/YulBrynner in ''Guns of the Maginificent Seven'', and he in turn gave way to Creator/LeeVanCleef in ''The Magnificent Seven Ride!''.

** Some accounts paint the "bullfight" sequence as this--supposedly, someone found a bull and the filmmakers decided to put it in a scene with Horst Bucholz to see if he would take it and run with it. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments And he didn't disappoint.]]
