Goofs

Continuity: Jake (Jack Elams) back pack changes. He is seen with what appears to be a frying pan on the back of the pack with Jake carrying his shovel in his hand. He flips some dynamite into a stream, and in the next scene is seen wading into the stream to get the fish that popped to the surface. His pack back now has the shovel tied to the back and no frying pan. See more »

Quotes

Pa Danby: If that gun had gone off, it'd of blowed right up in my face.
Jason McCullough: Now it wouldn't have done my finger a hell of a lot of good either, would it? What can I do for you, Mr. Danby?
