• In the film "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" (1973), Bob Dylan's song "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is heard for the first time.
• The film features a cover version of Bob Dylan's "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" performed by the German band Selig.
• Director Thomas Jan can be seen in an episodic role as a taxi driver (the scene before the Cadillac Fleetwood purchase).
• At the 9th minute, two bandits drive a car from one city to another. Along the way, one of them (Abdullah) wants to take the driver's seat. The second (Hank) resists, and then Abdullah pulls out a weapon. Before he draws the gun, the driver's glasses are matte, but when he presses it to the temple, the glasses become glossy, and the filming crew and camera are reflected in them.
• At the 72nd minute, Abdullah and Hank report to Frankie that both fugitives are right here, when Hank says to Frankie: "They're here", a microphone is visible at the bottom of the frame.
• Rutger Hauer filmed his scenes in one day.
• On the 72nd minute, Abdull and Hank report to Frankie that both fugitives are right here, as Hank says to Frankie: "They're here," with a microphone visible in the lower frame.
