  • At the beginning of the preparation of the film, the protagonist chose James Stewart, but Stewart worried that starring in this movie would affect his image, and then he went to Charles Heston, who didn’t like the script.
  • During the filming process, the crew often encountered bad weather in the west, and director Pekinpa had to take the entire crew to the tavern to drink and wait for the weather to improve. As a result, the completion time of the film was delayed for 19 days, and the budget was exceeded, and the wine debt alone owed $70,000.
  • The Huge Hotel, known as the "Desert Continent" in the film, is a real thing. When filming the film, the director deliberately moved it from California to the desert.
  • After the film was completed, Warner Bros. edited the film for two and a half hours without the permission of director Pekinpa. Pekinpa and producer Phil Federman were very dissatisfied, and Pekinpa made the cut again. The movie barely finished in half an hour.
  • The film’s box office fiasco led to the termination of Warner Bros. and Pekinpa’s contract. Despite this, Pekinpa still said that the film was his favorite of all the films he directed.  .

    A very typical movie with a "story" but no "plot", the protagonist has no drama goal, so the story has no way to end, and the character can only die inexplicably.

    Sam Peckinpah completely gave up the style of work he was good at, and played a comedy + love farce. Some of the scenes made people laugh, but this translation is really unintentional.
