Trivia

Robert Mitchum declined an offer from Howard Hawks to reprise his El Dorado role in this film. He told Hawks the script was "an even bigger piece of crap than 'El Dorado'." See more »

Goofs

Continuity: When Mr. Phillips is showing Ketchum that he has the triggers tied back on his shotgun right after they capture him, the long shot shows Ketchum buckling his belt, when they go to a close up, his hands are gone and the belt is buckled. When the camera angle changes back to a longer shot, he is still buckling his belt. See more »

Quotes

Cord McNally: Mr. Phillips; you watch Ketchum while we go inside.
Phillips: Sure thing, Colonel. If you hear a loud noise, it'll be Mr. Ketchum dyin'.
