    • Trivia
      In an interview on the 2022 Blu-ray edition of the Spanish horror film Witches Mountain (1972), in which he starred, actor and producer Cihangir Gaffari (aka John Ghaffari) says that Yellow Hair writer-director Matt Cimber convinced first-time actor Ken Roberson (who plays the Pecos Kid) to put up $2 million of his own money to produce the picture, with another $1 million coming from Gaffari himself and the picture having a budget of around $3 million total. Gaffari plays a prominent role in Yellow Hair, and also acted in and produced Cimber's previous collaboration with actress Golden Hair lead actress Laurene Landon, Hundra (1983). Roberson only appeared in one more largely self-funded feature film called Rigged in 1986.
