Did you know?!Facts and trivia about The Golden Cockerel (1964)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- For the cockfight scenes in El gallo de oro, director Roberto Gavaldón's production needed the rooster that was supposed to come out the winner to fight with steel blades, while the other rooster wore wooden ones.
- Juan Rulfo wrote the film's screenplay from 1956, yet his El gallo de oro did not appear as a published book until 1980, a gap of more than two decades. The evidence comes from two journalistic texts held by Víctor Jiménez, director of the Fundación Juan Rulfo, and Rulfo is thought to have finished the text in late 1958.
- El gallo de oro gave singer and actress Lucha Villa her first leading role, after she had made her film debut in Los apuros de dos gallos in 1963.
