Facts about

Written by well-known American news anchor Jim Lehrer.
All unfinished scenes were completed when the company relocated to Rome, Italy. Most of the key scenes needed that could not be completed in Rome were those showing the backdrop of the Alamo, filmed by second-unit crews in the street. The scenes in front of the Alamo and were shot early Sunday mornings, unbeknownst to local authorities. Several locals walking the streets early that morning were startled by police cars, National Guardsmen and soldiers rushing the Alamo across the Cenotaph Memorial.
The Alamo gates were filmed very quickly - one or two takes at most. However, the March through San Antonio was organized and roads were blocked off two blocks away once filming began. The actual scene that stopped filming was when a single shot rang out in the Alamo during the ending sequence of the film. This angered some locals, who claimed that the site is a shrine and that no gunfire had been fired there since the original battle.
