The original title of the film was "Duel in the Wind." Lee Van Cleef came up with the Italian title while discussing the movie with John Phillip Law, who saw the film as a "man to man" story. Van Cleef remarked, "Why don't they call it 'From Man to Man'?" The Italian producers liked how it sounded in Italian ("Da Uomo a Uomo") so much they used it. Then the film was subsequently retitled "Death Rides a Horse" in English-speaking markets, which Law said he never liked.
Although the film has an original Morricone score, the opening sequence re-uses music from A Fistful of Dollars (1964) which accompanied the torture of the stranger and the massacre of the Baxters.
The flamenco guitar used in the movie has a clear stick-on guard below the sound hole. Though these didn't exist in the Old West, modern flamenco players often apply these to their guitars (often practice models) to keep their long fingernails from wearing holes in the instrument.
There is no Lyndon City in Texas. The name may have been intended as a humorous hat-tip to Texan Lyndon B. Johnson, who was President of the U.S. when the film was made.
Some European editions of the movie (e.g. recent Blu-ray releases) chose to revert to the Italian original title (e.g. "Von Mann zu Mann" in German, where "Die Rechnung wird mit Blei bezahlt" was a primary title - translating roughly to: the bill will be paid in lead).
"Ryan: If you're going to follow somebody, youngster, do a better job of it. This world is full of nervous characters. They'd shoot you in the back first, and then introduce themselves."
"Ryan: My gun. [Warden retrieves Ryan's gun] Ryan: Thank you... Now, the bullets. Prison Warden: The bullets? Ryan: Twenty seven. Fifteen years ago, you put 'em in one of those bottom drawers there. Prison Warden: Twenty seven. You have a good memory. Ryan: Well, sometimes its not difficult. I still had six in my gun and 21 in my belt. If they hadn't double- crossed me, the count had been a little bit different."
