What's left behind the scenes
- The character of John Malloy was specifically written for Jason Robards, and Eli Wallach was the director's initial choice for the role of Juan Miranda. However, the studio wanted more famous actors in the film, so the leading roles went to James Coburn and Rod Steiger.
- According to Sergio Leone, Sam Peckinpah agreed to direct the film after Peter Bogdanovich left the project. However, he requested too high a fee, and the studio declined his services.
- Jason Robards and Clint Eastwood were considered for the role of John.
- Malcolm McDowell was originally slated to play Sean.
- James Coburn was offered roles in 'A Fistful of Dollars' (1964) and 'Once Upon a Time in the West' (1968) at one point. When Leone offered James the role of Sean, Coburn wasn't particularly keen on appearing in the film and asked for time to consider. A few days later, James met with Henry Fonda, who starred in 'Once Upon a Time in the West' (1968), and asked him what he thought of Leone. Fonda replied that he considered Leone the greatest director he had ever worked with. After that, Coburn agreed to star in the film.
- Peter Bogdanovich was initially supposed to direct the film, but Rod Steiger and James Coburn demanded that Leone be the director.
- Sergio Leone offered Eli Wallach the role of Juan Miranda, but Wallach was unable to participate in the film due to commitments to other projects. After much persuasion from Leone, Eli agreed to the role and left another project. However, by that point, the studio had already signed a contract with Rod Steiger. Leone offered no compensation to Wallach, so the latter sued the production company.
- The full version of the film has a runtime of 158 minutes.
