 In the stagecoach chase sequence, stuntman Mic Rodgers  (double  for Mel Gibson (qv)) had to go under the coach and get up at the  back. This is a direct nod to Yakima Canutts similar stunt in  _Stagecoach (1939)_ (qv). Coincidentally, second unit director  Terry Leonard , a former stuntman himself, performed this in the  truck chase in _Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)_ (qv).
