The production of the film caused a huge stinkup that led to the "No animals were harmed" disclaimer being a part of Western-made movies involving animals.

They where accused of killing at least four horses, bleeding other horses from the neck, disemboweling cows, accidentally blowing up a horse and its rider with dynamite (the rider survived), staging actual cockfights, and decapitating a chicken.
