* RealitySubtext: Creator/HenryFonda's biographer Peter Collier asserts that "the ramrod cavalry martinet he played in Crator/JohnFord's ''Fort Apache'' was perhaps closest to his off-screen personality at this time." The actor had his own personal problems at this time: lack of rewarding roles; the difficulties of shooting his last movie with Ford, ''The Fugitive'', and its complete failure at the box office; failed marriages; alienation from his children and some of his friends over the years.

* FatalMethodActing: {{Averted}}. Stuntman John Hudkins broke his back during shooting--as a speeding munitions wagon was going around a sharp bend, the vehicle turned over, dragging the four people on board right toward a rock wall (Hudkins broke his back when one of the horses fell on top of him; the scene was kept in the film). Luckily, stuntman and occasional actor Ben Johnson galloped in and prevented a potentially deadly accident. He was rewarded with a seven-year contract with Argosy and substantial roles in the years to come. Hudkins was out of work for about a year while recovering.

* HostilityOnTheSet: Creator/JohnFord seemed to enjoy creating difficulties among cast and crew, starting fights and behaving abusively, all of it designed to make everyone fearful of him and obedient. The cast member who had the hardest time was John Agar, making his film debut. Whether it was because Agar was newly married to Ford's beloved Creator/ShirleyTemple or because he wanted to test him, the director rode him mercilessly, calling him "Mr. Temple" in front of everyone, criticizing the way he delivered lines, chastising him for his lack of expert horsemanship. One day Agar stormed off, vowing to quit the picture, but Creator/JohnWayne took him aside and helped him with some of the more difficult aspects of his job.
** Although Creator/HenryFonda would work with Ford nine times over the course of their careers, the actor found the director's unwillingness to rehearse emotional scenes frustrating. He noted how if he wanted to discuss a scene, Ford would just change the subject or tell him to shut up. Fonda also never became comfortable with Ford's foul language and bullying ways. "I literally saw tears coming out of Henry Fonda's eyes on [this film]," Michael Wayne recalled. "He just turned and walked away".
** Cinematographer Archie Stout quarrelled with Ford frequently and even refused to shoot certain scenes the way Ford wanted them.
* MoneyDearBoy: Although this and the others in the Cavalry Trilogy are now considered important films, Creator/JohnFord once described them as "potboilers" made primarily for money.

* SerendipityWritesThePlot: During shooting of one scene it began to rain, but Creator/JohnFord kept right on filming. Creator/HenryFonda later noted that although you didn't see the rain on screen, the light moisture on the leather of the saddle and harness added an unusual quality. "That was Pappy taking advantage of whatever presented itself," Fonda said.
* StuntDouble: Ben Johnson appears in this film, though not as an actor. A former rodeo rider described as "the best horseman in Hollywood", he was Creator/HenryFonda's stunt double in this movie.
* TroubledProduction: Filming conditions were difficult, with temperatures sometimes rising to 115 in the day and cooling only to 90 degrees at night. Shooting was delayed several times by high winds and desert storms.
