What's left behind the scenes
- The film is based on the play of the same name by Peter Shaffer (1973).
- Richard Burton rejected the initial choice for the role of Alan Strang, telling the producers that the actor was too tall. He insisted on Peter Firth, who had already played the role in the Broadway production of the play in April 1976, as he was approximately the same height as Burton. The producers initially did not want to see him in the role of Martin Dysart due to the actor's alcoholism and overacting. The media reported interest from Marlon Brando and Jack Nicholson. Burton had to star in John Boorman's horror film "Exorcist II" (1977) to "grease the palms" of the producers.
- Due to tax issues, the film was shot in Canada. This is why actress Joan Plowright was unable to accompany her husband, Sir Laurence Olivier, to the opening of the National Theatre of Great Britain on October 25, 1976.
- Screenwriter Peter Shaffer was frightened by the method director Sidney Lumet used to film the final scene in the stables. It reminded him of the famous shower scene from Alfred Hitchcock's thriller *Psycho* (1960).
- Due to filming *Equus*, Peter Firth was forced to decline the lead role in Tinto Brass's large-scale erotic drama *Caligula* (1979), where he was replaced by his co-star from *Aces High* (1976), Malcolm McDowell. Firth himself appears completely nude three times in the film, and the final scene in the stables is considered the longest in mainstream cinema to depict a man's full frontal nudity.

Burton had to star in John Boorman's horror film "Exorcist II: The Heretic" (1977) to "sweeten the deal" with the producers.
