影片花絮:
- Alejandro Murrieta disguised as Zorro, offers water to an exhausted worker at the mine in the final sequence of the film. This moment mirrors a classic moment from Ben-Hur when Jesus offers water to the enslaved Judah Ben-Hur, and in both cases a "savior" is involved. The dipper used looks remarkably similar in both films.
- Captain Love has a severed head in a glass container. In Silence of the Lambs, The (1991), also starring Anthony Hopkins, Jodie Foster finds a severed head in a glass container.
- Joaquin Murieta, Antonio Banderas's character's brother, and Three-fingered Jack were real life bandits in Northern California at the time of the 1849 Gold Rush. Joaquin Murieta was a Mexican born in Sonora who moved to California to find his fortune. But after being beaten and robbed by American gold miners, he swore that he would avenge his dishonor. He was the lead in a group of bandits in the California wilderness, killing anyone who stood in their way. His life was the stuff of legend, used by Mexicans as a source of patriotism and by Americans as reason enough to hang anyone who spoke Spanish. Three-fingered Jack was actually a Mexican by the name of Manuel Garcia, who was Murieta's side kick. Murieta was supposedly killed on July 18, 1853 by Captain Harry Love who preserved Murieta's head in a jar of alcohol, along with Three-fingered Jack's hand as proof that the bandit was dead.
