Os Destruidores (1960) would be remade as O Incidente (1967), aboard a NYC subway car. Same premise, but only two punks this time: Martin Sheen and Tony Musante. Beau Bridges plays the Jeff Chandler role, as a soldier on leave with a broken arm. Sheen and Ed McMahon made their feature-film acting debuts in O Incidente (1967), along with Donna Mills.

Final western of Jeff Chandler.

The film was made by August Productions for Allied Artists. August was a production company established by Jeff Chandler in association with writer Bob Barbash and publicist Jess Rand. Chandler described the film as "not a Western though the locale is the West." Steve Broidy of Allied Artists was so happy with the film he requested three more movies from August, only two of which Chandler had to appear in, but Os Destruidores (1960) was its first and only film.

Portions of the film were reportedly shot on location in Topanga Canyon, CA.

Os Destruidores (1960) was nominated for a Golden Globe in 1960.
