** The portrayal of Travis as a CulturedWarrior doesn't really line up with history. He was really a ne'er do well country lawyer who used Texas as an escape from his mounting debts for which he was about to be arrested.

* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: An unintentional real-life example of this occurred in the scene where Colonel Travis shows his rejection of a Mexican surrender demand by firing a cannon. The actor playing Travis, Laurence Harvey, was standing too close to the cannon when he fired it, so that when it went off, it rolled backwards over Harvey's foot, breaking it in the process. Despite suffering a broken foot, Harvey showed no reaction and was able to maintain his composure enough to complete the scene.
