Trivia
After Kirk Douglas read the novel "Brave Cowboy" by Edward Abbey, he purchased the rights to it and gave the project to his friend Dalton Trumbo. Douglas said Trumbo's screenplay was perfect, the best he had ever read, and he didn't change one word of it. See more »Goofs
Audio/visual unsynchronized: After the Sheriff asks his deputy for gum (which he doesn't have), they get in the Jeep and the Sheriff's hand is shown turning the ignition key on and releasing it without turning it to start, yet the sound is of the engine starting. See more »Quotes
