Goofs

Continuity: When the first gang member lies in ambush, he is seen crawling past a large green shrub and behind broken blades of dry grass. After he is spotted by Jim Douglas and the camera cuts back to him, the exact same shot is repeated as though it is happening further along in the story. See more »

Quotes

Jim Douglass: You're wasting a lot of good lumber. A tree does just as well.
