Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to co-star John Saxon, Marlon Brando's relationship with director Sidney J. Furie got to the point where Brando, when getting ready to do a close-up, would be reading a book. He would only lower the book when Furie yelled "Action." When he yelled "Cut," Brando would raise the book again. According to Peter Manso's book on Brando, however, Brando and Furie met years later. Brando was quoted to have said, "I thought you were a no-good double-crosser, and I didn't know if I could trust you, but I saw the film and you have the great sense of the best visual directors. Let's do another movie together." Furie, according to the book, replied, "Never!" Furie, for his part, claims that they only came to blows once on the entire shoot of The Appaloosa (1966).
- GoofsThe Appaloosa which portrays the title character was actually a registered Appaloosa stallion named Cojo Rojo. He was born in 1960 and just prior to being used for the film he was racing on the California tracks. He sired several foals, including several race champions. During filming a few other similarly marked horses were used as stunt horses, but the majority of work was done by Cojo Rojo.

Misunderstood Brando western highly underrated!!!
I have many western movies from Marlon Brando, Viva Zapata is my favorite, Appaloosa has a special meaning for me, a compelling story about an American orphan child raise by a Mexican family at border, Matt the little gringo became Matteo, he grew up from a hard labor of his stepfather on a scarce corn crop, then he went away in search for gold, many years he finally goes back, two hundred dollars on the pocket and a rare Appaloosa stallion, he plains with his Mexican brother with a large family build a ranch, therefore his horse drawing attention of a powerful Mexican farmer Chuy Medina (John Saxon) who he knew previously and already had refused 500 bucks for the horse, then Chuy stolen the horse, against all family's advices he goes toward to Cocatlan to get his stallion back, he passing through for some Mexican villages until to meet the lonely old farmer Ramos (Frank Silvera) living in a small house with goats, when he reach at Cocatlan he is easily caught by Chuy's hoodlums, then came up the famous highlight scene arm wrestling with scorpions, even lost he bleed his arm with a broken bottle, left to die on an empty church he was taken by Trini (Anjanette Comer), afterwards a remarkable sequence at windy Ramos's farmer where Matt and Trini were hidden in a empty grave, superior western spurned criminally to ostracism even having strong elements bespoke on purpose as the hate among two neighbors, the Mexicans and the Americans that Brando dared to expose, also he display those stereotyped scary outlaws covered by large sombreros showing their dirty teeth and scars sounds great, highly underrated!!!
