Trivia
- One of three Westerns director Zabalza shot simultaneously in 1969; the other two were Los rebeldes de Arizona and 20.000 dólares por un cadáver. In an interview with Nuevo Fotogramas magazine in September 1969, he boasted: “I shot all three in seven weeks, including Sundays and holidays, which makes it actually six weeks. You really don’t have to have any respect for cinema.” (“He rodado las tres en siete semanas, sin descontar domingos y fiestas, lo que las deja convertidas en seis. De verdad que no hay que tener ningún respeto al cine.” [1092, p. 6])
- The Spanish press kit for Plomo sobre Dallas suggested as a possible tagline: “Un ‘western’ fuera de lo corriente[,] una película tan audaz como los hombres que forjaron una nación a costa de su sangre.” (“An unusual Western, a film as bold as the men who forged a nation at the cost of their blood.”)
