TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

This movie is notorious for the amount of animal abuse that took place during production, including real cockfights and decapitated chickens. Horses were tortured, and at least four died. The outcry prompted the Screen Actors Guild and the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers to contractually authorize the American Humane Society to monitor the use of all animals in all filmed media.

Sir John Hurt spent so long waiting around for something to do that he made The Elephant Man (1980), then came back to shoot more scenes for this movie.

Wondering why they were paying so much to rent the land where they were filming, United Artists checked local records. The owner turned out to be writer and director Michael Cimino.

Tom Noonan called this movie one of the worst experiences of his life. He claimed that Michael Cimino abused the actors, actresses, and the crew, including holding a loaded gun to Noonan's head during a dispute.

Michael Cimino's contract stated that he would not be penalized for any cost overruns incurred in completing and delivering the movie for its December 1979 release date, so while costs spiralled, he was protected from breach-of-contract lawsuits.

Popular Dialogues

"Frank Canton: Mr. Champion, my grandfather was the Secretary of War to Harrison. His brother was the governor of the state of New York. My brother-in-law is Secretary of State. And to you, I represent the full authority of the government of the United States and the President. Nathan D. Champion: Fuck him too. Billy Irvine: Bravo, sir!"

"James Averill: You're not my class, Canton, and you never will be. You'd have to die first and be born again."
