- Some years before his death, he had an accident that resulted in a fractured skull, and a metal plate was put in his head. He was left with a large scar on top of his head, making him bald, so he bought a very expensive, custom-made, high-quality toupee.
- The films A.T.M.: ¡¡A toda máquina!! (1951) and ¿Qué te ha dado esa mujer? (1951) were filmed at the same time. He performed all the motorcycle stunts, including a dangerous one involving an exploding shack.
- He was posthumously awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Recording at 7083 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on February 1, 1994.
- He won the Ariel (Mexican Academy Award) for Best Actor in 1956 for La vida no vale nada (1955).
- Perished as the pilot of a World War II B-24 bomber converted to cargo plane.
- Father of actors Pedro Infante Jr. and Cruz Infante.
- He bore strikingly similar physical features to Eli Wallach, which many have noticed in retrospect.
- Both Infante and Lupita Torrentera's relationship began when she was just 14 and he was 28, a union that sparked controversy due to their age difference and Infante's marital status. Despite familial opposition, they lived together and had three children.
- Pedro Infante was a Mexican ranchera singer and actor whose career spanned the golden age of Mexican cinema.
- From 1939 until his death, Infante acted in over 60 films (30 of them with his brother Ángel) and recorded over 350 songs. His 1952 ranchera album Cuando sale la luna was rated No. 56 in a 2024 ranking of the 600 greatest Latin music albums of all time.
