The piece adds a note that the bayonet is claimed to have been invented in Bayonne in the 17th century.

Ford Beebe, a longtime westerns specialist, directed with a focus on bar room brawls and supervised the actors as Hall and Curtis expected to smash more than two hundred bottles of fake champagne amid the risky action.
