Facts about

Kirk Douglas was one of the few people in Hollywood who did not refer to John Wayne as "Duke" citing his dislike of nicknames. Curiously, Yakima Canutt, an expert stuntman and second unit director, and one of Wayne's oldest friends in the business, also called him "John" in most print interviews.
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.
As Lomax is riding into Chabisco, the music coming from the saloon is an instrumental version of "The Ballad of the War Wagon."
