- Buried in an unmarked grave at Inglewood Memorial Park in Inglewood, CA, A Plot, Lot 1866.
- Although he forged a successful film career playing brutal thugs, in person he was known as a gentle, mild-mannered sort. He took a stab at directing in the 1920s but gave it up because he couldn't bear telling people what to do. Having suffered countless violent deaths in his films, his real passing came peacefully, in his sleep, from apparent heart failure.
- In Frisco Kid (1935) he played a villain named "The Shanghai Duck" who has a hook for his right hand.
In real life, Kohler had lost part of his right hand in a dynamite explosion in a mining accident in his early years.
