Did You Know?

Trivia

The Finnish title of the film is "Kourallinen dynamiittia", which translates into English as "Fistful of Dynamite". This is actually the alternative English title of dollar-trilogy director Sergio Leone's film Duck, You Sucker. See more »

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When the first French column is tracking Sara & Hogan in the stream, several French soldiers can be seen staring intently into the stream bed as if looking for signs of the horses they're following. But these men are FAR back in the column, so the bed is already muddy & churned from the preceding soldiers, making it impossible for them to see anything useful. See more »

Quotes

Hogan: [Sara has returned with a batch of peasants' donated valuables, that will help Hogan purchase dynamite back in Texas] How did you do?
Sara: I'm not sure.
Hogan: You must know if you've got something worthwhile?
Sara: I just don't know how much it'll bring in Texas...
Hogan: You don't?
Hogan: [Looks at the small pile of jewelry, impressed] This will buy enough dynamite to give my horse a rupture. You did real well for me, Sister.
Hogan: [in Colonel Beltran's direction] Uh... for the cause.
Sara: Maybe this will buy you a bottle of 'medicine' to keep your arm well-oiled.
