Added DiffLines:
* ActorInspiredHeroism: In the original script, Luis Chama was a more heroic and multi-layered character, but Creator/ClintEastwood wanted to be seen as the hero, so this was changed throughout filming. Creator/JohnSaxon said "Clint needed to be the guy who dealt with all the action, so in the end, Chama was smeared with self-serving and cowardice, so it was clear who the main hero was." Saxon attended a NOSOTROS meeting, a Latin American organization opposed to stereotypes, and publicly apologized for playing such a dubious character.
* HostilityOnTheSet: Creator/ClintEastwood was annoyed at John Sturges' habit of showing up onset drunk, requiring the Assistant Director to step in. He felt that Sturges' unprofessionalism compromised what could have been a great movie.
* WagTheDirector: John Sturges later told a French student that he had so many problems directing Creator/ClintEastwood that he regretted not resigning from the movie.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Creator/CharlesBronson, Creator/SteveMcQueenActor and Creator/RobertMitchum were considered for Joe Kidd.
** Creator/GeneHackman turned down the role of Frank Harlan because he was busy shooting ''Film/ThePoseidonAdventure''.
