What's left behind the scenes
- Initially, the heads of Touchstone Pictures approved Kevin Costner for the lead role, but he requested that it be given to Robert Duvall.
- Kevin Costner envisioned only Robert Duvall in the role of the Boss. He once admitted that he wouldn't have filmed the movie at all if Duvall had refused to participate.
- While training for horseback riding before filming, Robert Duvall fell off a horse and broke 6 ribs.
- None of the existing cities suited Kevin Costner, so they had to build sets for a city that the director would like. This cost $1 million. The city was built so far from populated areas that building a road to it cost $40,000.
- During the shootout, Charlie uses a Winchester 1873 sporting rifle.
- Dean McDermott was cast as Doc Barlow because of his limp.
- Hunting horses had to be used during the shootout, as they weren't afraid of gunfire.
- The Boss's weapon is a Remington Army revolver, model 1875.
- During the flood scene, 32,000 gallons of water were pumped onto the city streets every minute. A tank was installed below the set to collect the water, which was then pumped back up through underground pipes, and the cycle repeated.
- A herd of 225 head of cattle was managed by professional cattlemen.
- No animals were harmed during the making of the film.
- Charlie's dog, nicknamed Tig, was played by a mixed-breed terrier named Chester. The dog that Charlie saved during the flood was played by two terriers – Goldie and Boomer. Two dogs were used to prevent the animals from getting tired or cold in the water during filming.
- For this film, Kevin Costner turned down an offer to star in Quentin Tarantino's action film "Kill Bill" (2003).
