There was a serious argument between Burt Lancaster and director Michael Winner while filming the scene where Lancaster shoots a horse. Lancaster first used a Colt 45 and after a short break, resumed the sequence using a Winchester 73 rifle. Winner told him so and Lancaster then threatened him to kill him by throwing him from the edge of a cliff. Winner finally agreed to say that Lancaster actually used a rifle for the first take. But during the evening rushes, Lancaster told that there was something wrong in the scene, since both the Colt 45 and Winchester were used. Winner then reminded him of their earlier disagreement and Lancaster told him he did not know what he was talking about.
