What's left behind the scenes

The location of the wounds on the back of the character played by John Russell at the end of the film exactly matches the location of the wounds on the back of the Preacher, played by Clint Eastwood, in the bathtub scene.
The title of the film is a reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from chapter six of the Book of Revelation. Megan reads it when the Preacher first appears at her house (verse 8: “And I looked, and behold, a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth”).
The Preacher, played by Clint Eastwood, is never referred to by name throughout the entire film. One version suggests he is called the Preacher because he was wearing a priest's cassock at his first appearance on screen.
During filming, Clint Eastwood suffered what he described as the worst injury of his acting career. He dislocated his shoulder when his horse broke through thin ice.
The railroad station created for this film was later used in the filming of Robert Zemeckis's science fiction comedy "Back to the Future Part III", and the barbed wire salesman there was played by Richard A. Dysart, who also played Coy LaHood in that film.
In this film, Clint Eastwood reprised his role as the Man with No Name. This character is the protagonist of Sergio Leone's (1929-1989) "Dollars Trilogy", consisting of the spaghetti westerns "A Fistful of Dollars" (1964), "For a Few Dollars More" (1965), and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" (1966). The character became recognizable thanks to his iconic poncho, brown hat, cowboy boots, cigarettes, and his reluctance to speak. Although the character had a name in each film, he is traditionally known as the "Man with No Name".
The "Wells Fargo & Co." office where the Preacher retrieves his weapon from the bank vault was filmed in Columbia, California, a city that was a gold mining town in the 19th century.
