Interesting facts about the film:
- “Maverick” box office exceeds $101 000 000 and the movie is included into the highest-grossing films of America.
- There was a famous shooter Johnny Hardin in the Wild West. In the first scene with the cards one player introduced himself with this name.
- In the “Lethal Weapon” Mel Gibson and Danny Glover played the main characters (police mates). In “Maverick,” Danny played the role of one of the robbers, so Maverick's phrase that the robber’s face seemed familiar to him, sounded funny. It was inserted into the film as a reference to the franchise.
- Before the appearance of the movie in 1957, the TV series Maverick was filmed. James Garner, who played the role of Bret in it, appeared in this film. This time he played Zane Cooper.
