Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of Mexico's 1970s 'cine de frontera' boom, where local studios churned out westerns cheaper than Hollywood, often starring actual cowboys from Sonora ranches.
Director Rodolfo de Anda allegedly filmed the Apache massacre in one chaotic afternoon after the scheduled Apache extras—actual Rarámuri dancers—threatened to leave for another production.
