Jason Patric showed his considerable horsemanship in the scene where he has a one-on-one showdown with an Apache warrior. Patric goes from laying across his horse prone on the ground, to ordering the horse back onto its feet while he mounts it as it quickly rolls upright, rifle in one hand, reins in the other.
According to Walter Hill, there is a longer version to the movie, he was forced to cut it down by twelve minutes. In his own words, he describes the version as a "damn good" version, and felt that the studio should have released that version on DVD.
The film had a mixed reception from critics, but was praised by Native American groups.
Tom Horn and The Apache Kid were not portrayed in this movie. Most accounts have them as being instrumental in the capture of Geronimo.
According to a interview with Director Walter Hill, he never liked the title of the movie, "Geronimo: An American Legend", because he never felt the movie was about Geronimo, but about the men who had caught Geronimo.
"Al Sieber, Chief of Scouts: There's two dead women there... and two little kids. They scalped them all, all four of 'em. Bounty hunters. The government down here pays 200 pesos a head for men, 100 for women and 50 for those kids. They kill any Indian and then claim they are Apache. I don't see how any man can sink so low. Must be Texans... the lowest form of white man there is."
"Geronimo: With all this land, why is there no room for the Apache? Why does the White-Eye want all land?"
