Director Sam Peckinpah allowed actor and long-time associate James Coburn to work on the movie as a second-unit director to get his DGA card. Rumor has it that Coburn actually directed some scenes when Peckinpah was "unwell."
The film was a hit in the Soviet Union, showing a working-class rebellion against a corrupt government.
It's not clear in the film, but Violet the truck stop waitress is "Dirty" Lyle Wallace's wife. According to the commentary on the 2016 Special Edition DVD/Blu Ray, it was more implied in the script, and added to the personal tensions between Lyle and Rubber Duck, since Rubber Duck and Violet were clearly engaged in an affair. The only hint is when Rubber Duck asks Violet if/when is she going to leave her "old man" (slang for husband) when she comes back into the truck stop after the fight and lets Lyle out. He then says to her, "We'll talk about this later."
The duck on the hood of Rubber Duck's Mack truck was later used in Death Proof (2007), as the hood ornament on Stuntman Mike's hotrod. It was created by John Billings, who received a thanks credit from Quentin Tarantino.
Ernest Borgnine came up with the idea for Sheriff Lyle Wallace to be handcuffed to a barstool with a removable seat.
"Melissa: Why do they call you the Duck? Rubber Duck: Because it rhymes with "luck." See, my daddy always told me to be just like a duck. Stay smooth on the surface and paddle like the devil underneath!"
"Rubber Duck: You ever seen a duck that couldn't swim? Quack, quack!"
