What's left behind the scenes

Kevin Costner turned down an offer to star in Quentin Tarantino's action film *Kill Bill* (2003) for this film.
Initially, the heads of Touchstone Pictures approved Kevin Costner for the lead role, but he requested that it be given to Robert Duvall.
Kevin Costner envisioned only Robert Duvall in the role of the Boss. He once admitted that he wouldn't have filmed the movie at all if Duvall had refused to participate.
While training for horseback riding before filming, Robert Duvall fell off a horse and broke 6 ribs.
None of the existing cities suited Kevin Costner, so they had to build sets for a city that the director would like. This cost $1 million. The city was built so far from populated areas that building a road to it cost $40,000.
During the shootout, Charlie uses a Winchester 1873 sporting rifle.
Dean McDermott was cast as Doc Barlow because of his limp.
Hunting horses had to be used during the shootout, as they weren't afraid of gunfire.
The Boss's weapon is a Remington Army revolver, model 1875.
During the flood scene, 32,000 gallons of water were pumped onto the city streets every minute. A tank was installed below the set to collect the water, which was then pumped back up through underground pipes, and the cycle repeated.
A herd of 225 head of cattle was managed by professional cattlemen.
No animals were harmed during the making of the film.
Charlie's dog, nicknamed Tig, was played by a mixed-breed terrier named Chester. The dog that Charlie saved during the flood was played by two terriers – Goldie and Boomer. Two dogs were used to prevent the animals from getting tired or cold in the water during filming.
For this film, Kevin Costner turned down an offer to star in Quentin Tarantino's action film "Kill Bill" (2003).
