- Some years before his death, he had an accident that resulted in a fractured skull, and a metal plate was put in his head. He was left with a large scar on top of his head, making him bald, so he bought a very expensive, custom-made, high-quality toupee.
- The films A.T.M.: ¡¡A toda máquina!! (1951) and ¿Qué te ha dado esa mujer? (1951) were filmed at the same time. He performed all the motorcycle stunts, including a dangerous one involving an exploding shack.
- He was posthumously awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Recording at 7083 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on February 1, 1994.
- He won the Ariel (Mexican Academy Award) for Best Actor in 1956 for La vida no vale nada (1955).
- Perished as the pilot of a World War II B-24 bomber converted to cargo plane.
- Father of actors Pedro Infante Jr. and Cruz Infante.
- He bore strikingly similar physical features to Eli Wallach, which many have noticed in retrospect.
