    • Trivia
      Elvis Presley was inducted into the Los Angeles Indian Tribal Council by Native American Wah-Nee-Ota after portraying the son of an Indian and a white settler in this film.
    • Goofs
      When Sam Burton is hit by three Indian arrows in his back, the Indian warrior who shot the last arrow into his victim approaches the dying man in order to take his scalp. Sam lies with the front of his body to the ground, the three arrows protruding out of his back. The Indian reaches Sam, turns him around, and is shot by Sam who uses his last bit of strength to kill his murderer. To achieve this goal, he has to lift his right arm to fire his colt on the Indian brave, which reveals that the three arrows are gone.
