Goofs

Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the final battle between the railroad crew and the Indians at the end of the movie, when the Indians are finally driven off and turn away to ride off, the firing from the railroad camp immediately stops, the Indians at the front wheel their horses around and begin galloping in the opposite direction away from the camp, and after several strides, suddenly two Indians closest to the camera pitch headfirst off their horses like they'd been shot, only there is no more gunfire.

Quotes

Weeks: Well, that's my hotel over there. It's usually full up, but I can take care of you now that Mr. Holly is changing his room.
Ross Grainger: Wrong. Holly isn't changing his room. He checked out.
Weeks: No, he'll be occupying the downstairs rear. You see, I'm also the Oaktown's undertaker. And having my establishment on the premises, well, it saves so many steps.
