Trivia
In Jan. 1976, Columbia distributed this film theatrically on a double bill with White Line Fever starring Jan-Michael Vincent. See more »Goofs
Revealing mistakes: When Sam Clayton takes the saddle off his horse at the end, it's clearly dry under the saddle, while the rest of the horse is wet and lathered. The lather and dampness is clearly fake sweat, as it would be soaked under he saddle also. See more »Quotes
