==Production==

During production on ''The Three Musketeers'', the producers realized that the project was too lengthy to complete as intended — as a roadshow epic with intermission — and still achieve their announced release date. They split the project into two films, released as ''The Three Musketeers'' and ''The Four Musketeers'' six months apart. The actors were incensed that their work was being used to make a separate film, while they were only being paid for one. Lawsuits were filed to gain the salaries and benefits associated with a second film that was not mentioned in the original contracts. All [[Screen Actors Guild|SAG]] actors' contracts now have what is known as the "Salkind clause", which stipulates how many films are being made.<ref>{{cite newsmagazine|title= Franchise This|workmagazine= Entertainment Weekly|date=2004-04-09|url= https://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,607128,00.html2004/04/09/whats-secret-franchise-films-success/|access-date=2010-10-10|first=Tom|last=Russo}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title= FILM VIEW; THE SALKIND HEROES WEAR RED AND FLY HIGH|work= The New York Times|date=1983-07-17|url= https://www.nytimes.com/1983/07/17/movies/film-view-the-salkind-heroes-wear-red-and-fly-high.html|access-date=2010-10-10|first=Sandra|last=Salmans}}</ref>
