Production
[edit ]The pilot episode, "The High Riders", was mostly filmed on location in and around the hacienda now located within the Santa Lucia Preserve. All interior shots of the hacienda in subsequent episodes were filmed on a sound stage in Hollywood, recreated from photographs of the original.
In popular culture
[edit ]The 2019 movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood incorporates a fictionalized account of the filming of Lancer's pilot episode, depicting fictional actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) appearing as a villain in the episode. Director Sam Wanamaker and series stars James Stacy and Wayne Maunder are depicted. Additional scenes are featured in the novelization of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, as well depicting other actors, including Andrew Duggan.
