Trivia:

James Garner's role was originally played by Tommy Lee Jones in _"Lonesome Dove" (1989) (mini)_. Garner and Jones would later appear together in Space Cowboys (2000). more

Goofs:

Factual errors: Judge Roy Bean is killed in this film, and John Wesley Hardin survives. The manner of Bean's death does not conform to historical fact; Bean actually drank himself to death; but his reputation as a "hanging judge" who was hanged outside his own courthouse is a popular legend. However, John Wesley Hardin died in 1895. Judge Roy Bean died eight years later in 1903. more

Quotes:

Maria Garza: What have you done?
Joey Garza: I killed a gringo, Mama. I only like gringos when they're dead.

A good western mini-series, 13 May 2006
8/10

Is this better than Lonesome Dove? Depends on who you ask. I think that viewed objectively it is indeed a better mini-series. Two things complicate this in many people's minds. First, when it comes to the books I think most people think Lonesome Dove is a better book. Second, the first mini-series was so one of a kind that it really left an impression with people. Really got in their heads. By the time this came out people didn't find a western mini-series as groundbreaking. But if you watch them back to back now I think this one comes out on top. It features some great performances and, as others have commented, is a bit darker in tone and feel than the previous mini-series. If you liked Lonesome Dove this is a slam dunk for you to like.
