Facts about Villa Rides

First movie to star real-life husband and wife Charles Bronson and Jill Ireland.
This is the first movie where Charles Bronson appears with his trademark mustache.
Sam Peckinpah wrote the original script and was set to direct, but Yul Brynner didn't 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 Brynner's idea of what Villa was like.
