biglakejake Report post Posted November 30, 2012 Principal photography began on June 9, 1959 with location filming taking place at Arizona locations. The set for the Chinese village was erected on the Horse Mesa Dam Road, 40 miles east of Phoenix; another set was erected in the vicinity of Superstition Mountain. The Fish Creek Hill Bridge on the Apache Trail was revamped to resemble the Chinese wooden bridge that is blown up in the action and the temple set, ammunition and supply station as well as the airfield were erected in Nogales. these days the road to horse mesa is locked up. in 1978 it was really fun to go down to the srp housing there....especially with a teenage gf.... http://en.wikipedia....e_Mountain_Road Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
