What's left behind the scenes
- The battle scene involved 500 soldiers from the Oregon National Guard.
- The film's script is based on an episode from the American Civil War involving the hijacking of a locomotive and the subsequent chase, as described by former Union Corporal William Pittenger in his 1863 book, “Daring and Suffering: A History of the Great Railroad Adventure.”
- The battle scene at Rock River between the Southerners and Northerners was filmed simultaneously with six cameras. Several extras were injured during the explosions, and Buster Keaton was injured by the blast wave.
- "The General" was re-released in 1962 at the initiative of a Munich distributor and achieved widespread success.
- The scene with the train crash and the collapse of the bridge over the river was the most expensive scene in the history of silent cinema.
- The final battle scene caused a forest fire, which the entire film crew extinguished.
