In the scenes where Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood climb the steep fortress walls, Burton moves with ease, while Eastwood is clearly working hard physically. This was due to the fact that Burton, who was a hard-drinker, a chain smoker, and out-of-shape by that point, chose to ride a crane (made invisible by special effects) up the wall, whereas the health-conscious Eastwood was actually climbing the wall. Burton had already been diagnosed with bursitis, possibly aggravated by faulty treatment, arthritis and dermatitis.
Richard Burton's last successful movie at the U.S. box office.
Clint Eastwood refused to have his hair cut for his role.
Despite Clint Eastwood's reputation for violence in other movies, his character kills more people in this movie than any other Eastwood character.
Nazi concentration camp survivor Ingrid Pitt (Heidi) found filming very difficult because many of the cast were wearing World War II German Army uniforms.
"[Smith and Schaffer are observing the Castle of Eagles fortress, and a nearby military base] Lt. Morris Schaffer: If I'm not mistaken, that's an army barracks over there. Major John Smith: No mistake, Lieutenant. This the headquarters of the Wehrmacht Alpenkorps. Lt. Morris Schaffer: Oh, swell. Do you have any other surprises I should know about? Major John Smith: I thought you knew, Lieutenant. Why do you think we were chosen for his mission as if not to make social contact? Lt. Morris Schaffer: You mean we're gonna go down there? Mingle with the German Army? Major John Smith: Of course. Why do you think we're not dressed as German sailors? Lt. Morris Schaffer: We'll be recognized as strangers. Major John Smith: Training troops come and go all the time. What are six new faces among 600 new faces? Lt. Morris Schaffer: Look, Major, this is primarily a British operation. I'm an American. I don't even know why the hell I'm here. Major John Smith: Lieutenant, you're here because you're an American."
"[repeated line] Major John Smith: Broadsword calling Danny Boy."
