In the scene where David Sumner (Dustin Hoffman) first enters the local pub, director Sam Peckinpah was unhappy with the other actors' reaction to this stranger entering their world. Eventually, he decided to do one take where Hoffman entered the scene without his trousers on. He got his reaction, and these are the shots shown in the final film.
Dustin Hoffman, not usually a fan of violent films, admitted that he only took the role in this movie for the money.
Before shooting, co-writer and director Sam Peckinpah instructed Dustin Hoffman and Susan George to live together for two weeks, with co-writer David Zelag Goodman in tow. Some of their interactions during this period were worked into the film's script.
The title comes from the Chinese philosopher Lao-tzu, who wrote, "Heaven and Earth are not humane, and regard the people as straw dogs." Straw dogs were used as ceremonial objects for religious sacrifices in ancient China.
T.P. McKenna (Major John Scott) has his arm in a sling. This wasn't written in the script, McKenna had broken it while having a wild party with a couple of escorts, arranged by co-writer and director Sam Peckinpah.
"[last lines] Henry Niles: I don't know my way home. David Sumner: That's okay. I don't either."
"Amy Sumner: David, give Niles to them. That's what they want. They just want him. Give them Niles, David! David Sumner: They'll beat him to death. Amy Sumner: I don't care! Get him out! David Sumner: You really don't care, do you? Amy Sumner: No, I don't. David Sumner: No. I care. This is where I live. This is me. I will not allow violence against this house."
