- TriviaThe fight on the top of the train was performed by stuntmen Howard Curtis, doubling Charles Bronson, and Tony Brubaker, doubling Archie Moore, and was directed by stunt coordinator Yakima Canutt, his last screen credit in a career that lasted 60 years and included directing the chariot race in Ben-Hur (1959).
- GoofsThe stovepipe of the caboose faces the front of the train. Cabooses are always positioned with the stovepipe to the rear so that smoke doesn't blow into the cupola.

Deputy U.S. Marshal Nathan Pearce: When you tell an Indian things will be a certain way and then they're not, he's inclined to think maybe you crossed him.
- Alternate versionsThe UK cinema version was cut for an 'A' certificate with the removal of a bloody head shooting and a shot of Claremont slashing Fairchild with a sword. Video releases featured the same cut print though DVD versions are fully uncut.

Featured review
Alistair MacLean has always been one of my favorite authors, dating back to my high-school days in the mid-'60s. He has written many outstanding books, and many films have been made from them. Too many times, however, the title is the only thing that remains the same.
Not in this case, however. Either MacLean himself was involved with this film, or the director actually read the book first before starting, as this film is faithful to the book. A rarity indeed.
