Trivia
At one point during shooting, star Kevin Costner stormed off the set in a huff, but instead of waiting for him to return, director Clint Eastwood Clint Eastwood just continued to shoot the scene using Costner's stand-in, Mark Thomason Mark Thomason.

Goofs
The station wagon Butch steals is a either an Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser or its twin, the Buick Skylark Sports Wagon, easily identified by the glass "skylights" around the edge of the roof. However, these cars were not introduced until February 1964. Earlier in the movie, a reference is made to an upcoming visit to Dallas by President Kennedy, so the car could not exist during the time frame of the movie.
