The film was originally to have been made in 1967, with Gregory Peck, Anthony Quinn and David Niven reprising their roles from The Guns of Navarone (1961). However by the time the film was eventually made it was decided they were all too old for the sequel. They were even considered too old by some critics in the original film.
This was the last film completed by Robert Shaw. He died while filming Avalanche Express (1979).
The bridge was actually destroyed by partisans in 1942. Action of blowing it up was led by the engineer that built the bridge some years before. The engineer was shot later by Italians.
There are numerous mentions of Mallory having an injured leg. In actuality Robert Shaw had injured his knee shortly before filming began and was having difficulty walking without limping, so they simply wrote Mallory's leg injury into the script.
Robert Shaw was attacked by a bunch of men trying to rob him while off on his own reading. He fought off the attackers and chased the rest with a machete he retrieved from his Jeep.
"Barnsby: Now, look. Our experts have been studying that bridge for weeks, and they say it'll blow. I don't know where you learned your job, but I'm talking about the best construction engineers in the business! Miller: Yes. Well, they're probably experts at building things, whereas I'm an expert at blowing them up, and you can take it from me that one would need a good eight hours to make a decent job on that bridge."
"Miller: Don't worry, old chap. Been handling this stuff ever since I blew up the nursery with my first chemistry set. Poor old Nanny."
