1982 is correct. I worked on the film. My family were extras and I worked as a 'gopher'. We were lucky enough to spend some time with a number of the actors. They were a great bunch to work with. It's a shame that the quality of the film is so poor, and I agree that it could have been a decent movie. The movie was filmed in Fairplay, Colorado in the museum, which is actually part of the original town. (Burro races are held annually there, by the way) Many of the townspeople were hired as extras as well. Bobby Kim was a very quiet man, but Cy and Gary were a hoot and Bill Wallace was incredible to watch work out at the high school's gym.
