Trivia
The original love scene between Bronson and Jan Gan Boyd called for Boyd to be partially nude, but Boyd wasn't confident she could perform the scene and was nervous. Although contracted to be nude, Boyd asked the producers if she could do the scene clothed. They agreed because she had the support of star Bronson, who was adamant she be clothed if she was not comfortable.

Goofs
Presidential inaugurations are in January but footage of the motorcade shows trees in full summer bloom and people in summer clothing.

Quotes
Lara Royce Craig: Do you speak English?
Indian Joe: Do I look like some goddamned foreigner?
Lara Royce Craig: I'm sorry.
Indian Joe: Of course I speak English, also Creole, French, Spanish. I'm a native born American Indian, not some half breed immigrant like you all.

Terrific movie with Jill Ireland and Charles Bronson

I loved this Movie out of all Charles Bronson did. I think he and Jill Ireland were so neat in this together. I liked any movie they did together. I don't believe this was given enough credit. They just semed to fit in the parts together. I was truly saddened when Jill died and even more so with his passing. But at least we have the movies to watch which I never tire of seeing.
