Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's U.S. trailer mentioned that 'Rory Calhoun' was the star of the television series The Texan.
The original choice for the role of Darios was John Derek, who had played a similar role a few years earlier in The Ten Commandments.
According to Sir Christopher Frayling, Sergio Leone's early concept for the Colossus was to have its arms crossed and the visage of Benito Mussolini. This concept was abandoned and replaced with Helios/Apollo.
The English language versions of "Colossus" refer to the Athenian hero Darios by the Italian version of his name, Dario.
Although he had experience directing other films, this was the first to give full on-screen credit to Sergio Leone.
