In preparation for her role, Kelly McGillis lived with an actual Amish widow and her seven children for a while before filming began to get the speech cadence down and to observe the daily life of an Amish widowed mother.
Rachel asks John, "You know carpentry?" He replies "A bit..." Harrison Ford was a carpenter before he became an actor.
As realistic as the actors playing background roles as Amish people are, no actual Amish were in the film because they do not (as correctly stated in the movie) like to be photographed. They were intensely interested in the filming, though, and many Amish people were often out of camera range politely watching the filming.
Although the film was made with advice from experts on the Amish community, some members of the community were critical, feeling the portrayal was not entirely accurate. The National Committee for Amish Religious Freedom called for a boycott of the film, citing fears that these communities were "overrun by tourists" because of its popularity. They worried that "the crowding, souvenir-hunting, photography, and trespassing on Amish properties would increase as a result." When the film was finished, then-Pennsylvania governor Dick Thornburg promised not to promote the Amish film communities as future film sites.
Although he once again plays a heroic man with a gun, this was the first starring role that broke Harrison Ford away from the science fiction and fantasy genres that made him famous, and gave him his first and only Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.

"[Book is having trouble milking a cow] Eli Lapp: You never had your hands on a teat before? John Book: Not one this big. [a long pause, then Eli Lapp roars with laughter]"
