The production bought 500 horses, as that was far cheaper than renting and the budget for feed for the horses alone was $1,000,000. After the movie's completion, the horses were auctioned off, with most selling for more than what was originally paid. The primary draw by buyers was these horses had gone through an extensive training period four months before filming began.

The ministry of transportation would not permit all the crew and extra buses (115 in total) on the freeway heading to the location each morning, fearing major gridlock on the Trans-Canada Highway, so each bus was strategically dispatched from several key points in the host city of Calgary every 90 seconds. This avoided traffic jams.

My cousin was an extra on this film, and when I was young I marveled at the samurai sword prop she smuggled off the set.
