During the production, Kirk Douglas was late to the set because he was shooting a commercial endorsement for the Democratic Governor of California, Edmund G. Brown. John Wayne was furious, and was late to work the next day because he was shooting a commercial for the Republican candidate Ronald Reagan.
John Wayne, who had lost his entire left lung and several ribs in major surgery for cancer in 1964, had great difficulty breathing on an airplane while flying to the location for the start of filming and had to use an oxygen mask throughout the journey. Kirk Douglas recalled that he hadn't realized just how fragile Wayne was until this moment.
Although Keenan Wynn played the crazy old man, he was in fact nine years younger than John Wayne.
In the initial release cut of the film, when bare-chested Kirk Douglas walks away after John Wayne leaves his room, Douglas was nude. In other versions, the scene is cut just before Douglas' buttocks are revealed.
The 49-year-old Kirk Douglas performed most of his own stunts.
"[after shooting down two bad guys] Lomax: Mine hit the ground first. Taw Jackson: Mine was taller."
"Lomax: Well, I guess you don't know about his new toy - a little iron-plated thing he calls "The War Wagon." Taw Jackson: It takes an average shipment of fifty thousand in gold from Emmett to the railhead in El Paso 43 1/2 miles away. Lomax: Then there are a few guards... Taw Jackson: Thirty-three of 'em. Twenty-eight outriders and five in the coach. Each man is armed with a Henry repeating rifle, two Colts and two hundred rounds of ammunition. Lomax: What's all this got to do with me? Taw Jackson: We're going to take that wagon. Lomax: We are? Have you taken a look lately at the cemetery in Emmett? There's a bunch of cheap wooden crosses in one corner all kind of crowded in together. That's the tribute to the last fools who tried to stop The War Wagon. Like facts? A dollar fifteen for the casket, twelve cents for the crosses - Pierce foots the bill. A dollar twenty seven seems a poor price for a man's life - especially mine."
