Goofs | Though the opening credit says 1890, the map in the Secret Service chiefs office is completely inaccurate. Some examples, the border between Texas and Louisiana is incorrect, Louisiana and Arkansas are shapes are not correct, Nebraska (admitted as a state in 1867) is shown as a territory and extending into Wyoming (which became a state in 1890), the panhandle of Oklahoma is missing, New Mexico is shown as a territory encompassing New Mexico and Arizona, but Arizona became an independent territory in 1863.

Dave Saunders:
[when going to help Chito after Chito had been hit on the head]
You alright, Chito? Chito Rafferty: I'm afraid to stand up for fear I fall apart. [Dave helps Chito up] Dave Saunders: You'll be alright in a minute. [pats Chito on the back] Chito Rafferty: Aw, don't jar me, amigo. You want to break the goose egg on my head? Dave Saunders: Well, there's nothing to worry about as long as it doesn't hatch.
