Trivia

Director Burt Kennedy wanted to cast Jack Elam as Grady, However John Wayne would not allow this, because he felt Elam had stolen too many scenes from him in Rio Lobo. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: During the era depicted, the price of gold in US dollars was fixed at $20.67 per troy ounce. $500,000 worth of gold would therefore weigh about 750 kg or 1,660 pounds avoirdupois - far too much for one man to shift or for one mule to carry, as depicted in different scenes.

Quotes

Calhoun: What about the woman?
Lane: What about her?
Calhoun: She part of it?
Lane: She's all of it.
Calhoun: What's that supposed to mean?
Lane: None of your damn business.
