Fun Stuff

Goofs:
Anachronisms: Modern train trestle: in the opening credit sequence, we see an old-time steam locomotive and train crossing a railroad bridge. The under-structure of the bridge is obviously of modern construction, using modern steel beams and girders. In the Old West, when the story takes place, the railroad trestle would have been constructed entirely out of heavy timbers. more
Quotes:
Latigo: [Annoyed that Jug has just used up the 100 dollars he had given him earlier, including giving much of it to some woman] You gave her the money?
Jug: Seemed like the thing to do...
Latigo: But, you idiot! Don't you know that's the surest way to make an enemy out of a woman, givin' her money?
Jug: [Confused] It is?
Latigo: Oh, I learned that a long time ago.

Good wholesome family entertainment without any of today's obvious little references towards sex and bad language. James Garner always gives a fine performance with his flair for comedy. Be sure to also see "Support Your Local Sheriff". The kids will love it.
