Trivia: There are 2 entries in the trivia list - like these:

• Sam Peckinpah wrote the original script and was set to direct, but Yul Brynner didnt like the script because it made Pancho Villa - a man who had given standing orders to shoot all prisoners - "look like a bad guy". Peckinpah was fired and his script was rewritten by Robert Towne to conform to Brynners idea of what Villa was like.
• One of the extras in the film, playing a Mexican guerrilla girl, is Turkish singer Seyyal Taner. She would later receive notoriety for scoring no points in the 1987 Eurovision song contest.
