The final episode was supposed to feature the first gay kiss ever aired on Brazilian TV, between the characters played by Bruno Gagliasso and Erom Cordeiro. Their scene was done in seven takes. However, Rede Globo decided to cut the scene at the eleventh hour. Contrary to expectations, the scene would also not be featured on Globoplay's release (Globo TV's streaming service), as it was deleted permanently. Years later, Amor à Vida (2013) would broadcast the first gay kiss on Brazilian TV.
Director Jayme Monjardim decided to quit the series announcing disagreements with the writer Glória Perez.
Bandido, the bull featured in this series, was a real life bull famous for quickly putting down the cowboys that attempted to ride him. Carlos de Jesus Boaventura holds the record of the largest amount of time a man managed to stay on the bull, 8 seconds. Bandido passed away in 2009 aged 15.
While researching for their work on the series, a producer, director Jayme Monjardim and Thiago Lacerda were themselves arrested by American cops while filming between El Paso and Juarez.
