This movie received a lot of high praise among Native American viewers for its non-stereotypical portrayal of Native Americans in the film.

Philip Kaufman started to direct the film but was replaced by Clint Eastwood, a controversial move which prompted the DGA to institute a ban on any current cast or crew member replacing the director on a film - a rule which has ever since been titled the "Eastwood rule." According to Eastwood biographer Marc Eliot part of the acrimony between the two married men was a result of both asking female lead Sondra Locke out to dinner on the same night.

Horse Wranglers: This movie contains some of the most wild horse scenes ever recorded and kept in a movie. Two scenes in particular: 1) At the beginning of the cabin shoot out, a horse jumps the stream, and doesn't stick his landing. As a result, you watch him skate on his front legs for at least 20 to 30 feet. Wonderful to see it caught on tape. 2) About 3 minutes later, one of the women shoot at 3 guys on the side of the hill, knocking people off their mounts. The people, and the horses slide downhill and don't stop until they hit the bottom. Again, great that this was left in the film.

Near the end, after the old lady comments about freeloaders from Kansas, a camera shadow is seen when a guy falls off his horse in the last shoot out.

Near the end of the film when Wales is fighting the posse outside the house, you can see the legs of a C-stand when a man from Terrill's gang falls off a horse.

When Josey returns from scouting the Union soldiers camp to discover that Jamie has died, Jamie can be seen still blinking when Josey first enters the lean-to.

Jamie: You can't get 'em all, Josie.

Fletcher: Damn you, Senator. You promised me those men would be decently treated.

Josey Wales: Anyone gets hit, sing out. Slap iron to it. It's the fastest way to stop the blood.
