Did You Know?
| Trivia | The failure of the original copyright holder to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film. Therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.

| Goofs | During the chase, just before Ruby's horse goes down, a highway bridge is visible in the distance between the trees. See more » |

The Sheriff:
You're a slick, cunning wolf, Zanti, but I finally got ya. Pandro Zanti: You forgot, Señor Sheriff, wolves run in packs. And mine is not far behind. See more » |
