Quotes from
Lomax:
What made you think I wouldn't kill you?
Taw Jackson: Curiosity.
Lomax: Well, you're still alive. Now what's to keep you that way?
Taw Jackson: Money.
Lomax: How much?
Taw Jackson: Your share will be over a hundred thousand.
Lomax: That's what I've always said the world needs... more simple understanding to bring people together!
Lomax: Don't let anything happen to ya.
Taw Jackson: Not likely.
Lomax: KD: Oh great, just great. I'm out a hundred thousand of my share, two thousand from Levi...
[to Levi who is riding off towards the Indians sifting through the barrels of flour where Taw's gang has hidden the gold dust]
Lomax: Where are you going?
Levi Walking Bear: Back to my people.
Lomax: Now what am I supposed to do, live with the Indians for the next year and open up a bakery? And with Pierce dead, it doesn't even pay to kill you any more!

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.
The "War Wagon" itself was built mostly of plywood and other lightweight materials, and painted to look like iron (appropriate "metallic" sound effects-such as when the "heavy" iron doors are opened and closed, etc.) were added to complete the illusion. For many years, at least through the 1980's, the deteriorating remains of "The War Wagon" were displayed in "The Boneyard" (a collection of old outdoor movie props) as part of the Universal Studios Backlot Tour in California.
According to director Burt Kennedy, he gave up half his salary so that he could afford to hire Kirk Douglas (quoted in the Production Notes on the Universal Western Collection DVD).
