Peter Fonda got the idea for this movie after seeing a picture of himself and Bruce Dern on their motorcycles. He got Dennis Hopper (who was planning to get out of the acting business and become a teacher at the time) involved when he promised him he could direct the film.
During Jack Nicholson's "UFO" speech, Dennis Hopper was intent on getting him very stoned on marijuana. The laughing that eventually broke up his speech was not planned, and when Nicholson repeats the line "it . . . it . . . would be devastating . . . " it was the next take.
The sign on the wall, 'Death only closes a man's reputation and determines it as good or bad," is a quote from The Works of the Right Honourable Joseph Addison, volume 4.
Movie Goof (revealing mistake): Flipped shot: in the first shot of Wyatt with the motorcycle, the "Captain America" jacket is seen in reverse - the vertical strip is on the left side of the chest and in the last second when he departs, the flag is reversed too.
