Elvis Presley was paid for $850,000 which was more than half of the budget. Also Mr. Presley was paid 50% of profit.
The film's title, "Charro", which refers to the nickname of Elvis's character Jess Wade, loosely translates from Spanish to English as "singer". Specifically, "Charro" refers to the lead singer of a mariachi band. Although it's a fitting name for an actor known as a singer, Elvis ironically does no singing in the movie.
The original title for this film was "Come Sundown, Come Hell". The title was changed to "Charro!" prior to the film's release.
There's a nude scene, where Ina Balin leaves the bath-tub, as Elvis's character appears in her room. This scene is rarely seen, and is generally not in the edits of the film that have been televised or on video/DVD.
It's rumored that there was some alternate, violent scenes, that were deleted from the final edit.
