John Wayne and "Pilgrim" mentioned
The scene in which Chuck appears to shoot his target and in which it is revealed that actually Casey shot him mirrors the scene in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance in which Ranse seems to shoot Liberty when, in fact, Tom Stoddard does. Also, as in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, nobody may reveal what has actually happened without jeopardizing the position of Chuck/Ranse.
