Directed by: John Sturges
Starring: Charles Bronson, Steve McQueen, Eli Wallach, Yul Brynner, Horst Buchholz
Continuity mistake: Coburn gets into fighting a guy with a gun. He gets up and puts his coffee cup on the fence, they do their thing. Coburn goes back and the coffee cup is gone.
Suggested correction: The guy he's facing shoots the coffee cup off the fence. It's a mock duel. Coburn throws his knife at the pole next to his opponent and his opponent shoots the cup.
Continuity mistake: McQueen and Brynner take a hearse up the hill to deliver a coffin to the graveyard. When they go back down the hill, you can see a plume fall off one of the horses' heads, but in the next shot, the plume is back on. (00:16:05)
Vin: Rojas is makin' room for you in his home.
Old Man: Rojas? His conversation would bore me to death.
Vin: Yeah, well, maybe somebody else, huh?
Old Man: Hey are all farmers. Farmers talk of nothing but fertiliser and women. I've never shared their enthusiasm for fertiliser. As for women, I became indifferent when I was 83. I am staying here.
Trivia: James Coburn was a big fan of "The Seven Samurai," and his favorite character in that film eventually became the character he ended up playing in this film.
