At the time of its release, many critics commented favorably on director Samuel Fuller's "artistic" decision to concentrate on the feet of the participants in the actual "run of the arrow" rather than showing them in their entirety. In an interview, Fuller said there was a very simple reason for his decision: star Rod Steiger had badly sprained his ankle just before the scene was to be shot and wasn't able to walk, let alone run, so Fuller got one of the Indian extras who was built somewhat like Steiger to run in his place, which is why he shot only feet instead of close-ups or medium shots.
Sara Montiel's voice is dubbed by Angie Dickinson.

[he continues tending to Driscoll's wound] 6th Virginia Surgeon: Lead looks mighty close to the heart. Pvt. O'Meara, 6th Virginia Volunteers Sharpshooter: That's the first Yankee I missed in four years. Bet you because the bullets warped. 6th Virginia Surgeon: [Annoyed] Well why didn't you cut it out and looked for yourself? Pvt. O'Meara, 6th Virginia Volunteers Sharpshooter: Because I didn't want to dirty me hands , that's why! 6th Virginia Surgeon: Then why you bring him in here? Why didn't you just leave 'em out there to bleed to death? Pvt. O'Meara, 6th Virginia Volunteers Sharpshooter: There's Gen. Lee! He still got's his sword! 6th Virginia Surgeon: Grant must have let him keep it. Pvt. O'Meara, 6th Virginia Volunteers Sharpshooter: Maybe he didn't want to give it up! 6th Virginia Surgeon: We lost the war soldier. Lee has struck his last tin. Pvt. O'Meara, 6th Virginia Volunteers Sharpshooter: [Gen.Grant comes out to see Gen. Lee off] So there he is, the great and glorious Gen.

Like I said from the beginning, the bullets warped, warped. 6th Virginia Surgeon: It's the last bullet shot in this war."
