• Before this film, Clint Eastwood (director and lead actor) had made several attempts to bring this story to the screen, but the project remained unrealized for almost 30 years. In 1991, work on the project began in Mexico, with Roy Scheider slated to play the lead role, but the project was soon shut down. Another attempt – this time with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead role – was made in 2011. The film would have marked Schwarzenegger's return to acting after a break caused by his entry into politics. However, as in the first case, the project was closed after a while.
• 11 birds played the rooster.
• N. Richard Nash wrote the screenplay in the 1970s, but 20th Century Fox rejected it twice. Nash reworked the screenplay into a novel, which was published on June 11, 1975. Critics received the novel favorably, and Nash returned to the idea of placing the screenplay somewhere, without changing a single word in it, and offered it to several studios. This happened shortly before his death in 2000.
