The movie begins without showing the 20th Century-Fox logo, or any other indication that the film is starting. At military bases across the US theater owners reported that soldiers in the audience would often stand up and snap to attention when they heard the movie's opening line ("Ten-hut!"), assuming it to be a real call to attention.
The ivory-handled revolvers George C. Scott wears in the opening speech were George S. Patton's real-life revolvers. Those pistols are in the collection of the museum at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York.
Soldiers who served under the real George S. Patton said that the general's voice was surprisingly high-pitched. This can be heard in actual films and recordings of him. Patton himself said that he used profanity so liberally in order to compensate for this.
George C. Scott won the Academy Award for Best Actor and famously refused to accept it, claiming that competition between actors was unfair, disliking the Academy's voting process and called the Academy Awards a big "meat parade".
George C. Scott initially refused to film the famous speech in front of the American flag when he learned it would be at the beginning of the film. He felt that the rest of his performance would not live up to that scene. Director Franklin J. Schaffner lied to Scott and told him that the scene would be put at the end of the film.
"[first lines] Patton: Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."
"Translator: Excuse me sir, but General Caskov would like to know whether you'll join him to drink the surrender of Germany. Patton: My compliments to the General. Please inform him that I do not care to drink with him or any other Russian son of a bitch. Translator: [Nervous] I can't tell him that! Patton: You tell him that. Tell him word for word. Translator: [In Russian] He says he will not drink with you or any Russian son of a bitch. Russian general: [In Russian] Tell him he is a son of a bitch, too. Now! Translator: [Very nervous] The General says he thinks you are a son of a bitch, too. Patton: [laughing] All right, I'll drink to that; one son of a bitch to another."
