In this movie, Valdez appears as a part-time shotgun rider on the Hatch & Hodges stagecoach. Elmore Leonard, who wrote the novel that this movie is based on, used the same stagecoach service in other of his novels, like "Hombre" and "Last Stand at Saber River".
When MGM producer Ira Steiner took Elmore Leonard's novel to Burt Lancaster, the actor agreed to co-produce and co-star as Tanner, with ] Marlon Brando as Valdez, David Rayfiel as writer and Sydney Pollack directing. After the picture was postponed to allow Lancaster to do Airport (1970), the actor decided he wanted to play the title role and engaged Roland Kibbee to rewrite the role for him. According to Lancaster's biographer Gary Fishgall, none of Rayfiel's writing was used although he received co-credit.
Novice director Edwin Sherin, who had guided "The Great White Hope" to stage success, was Burt Lancaster's surprise choice to direct this film. Ironically the film version of "The Great White Hope" (The Great White Hope (1970)), directed by Martin Ritt, was filmed in Spain at the same time "Valdez" was filming.
Final film of Frank Silvera.
Feature film debut of Jon Cypher.
"Bob Valdez: Tell him: Valdez is coming."
"El Segundo: [after capturing Valdez] Like tobacco? Bob Valdez: [quietly] No. El Segundo: [after pausing and nervously clearing his throat] Tell me something... Who are you? Bob Valdez: I told you once before - Bob Valdez. El Segundo: [referring to Valdez's earlier marksmanship against his men] You know something, Bob Valdez, you hit one, I think, 700-800 yards. Bob Valdez: [with certitude] Closer to a thousand. El Segundo: What was it? Sharps? Bob Valdez: [nods] My own load. El Segundo: You ever hunt buffalo? Bob Valdez: Apache. El Segundo: I knew it. When? Bob Valdez: Before I know better."
