The production uses footage from an earlier Holt film, Saddle Legion, one of the rare times this happened in Holt's movies.[4]

It was the last film made featuring Lightning, Holt's Palomino horse in 27 movies. He was replaced by Sun Dance, another Palomino.[5]

According to film critic Tom Stempel:

Hot Lead was one Holt written by William Lively. Unlike Houston and Repp, he had no feel for the Tim-Chito relationship. At the end of the film they ride off arguing, something Tim and Chito never did. The film was directed by Stuart Gilmore, one of only six features he directed. He soon realized he was a better editor than director and had a long career as a film editor.[4]
