    • Goofs
      The last shot shows a hat with a 'crossed sabers' badge, with a '14' above and a 'G' below the sabers. The number represents the number of the cavalry regiment. However, the USA had only 10 cavalry regiments during this period.
    • Quotes

      Black Cloud: I am Black Cloud.

      Sgt. Matt Trainor: That figures.

      Black Cloud: Black Cloud come to make peace talk.

      Sgt. Matt Trainor: [Sarcastically] I didn't think you came here to make jokes. What's on your mind?

      Black Cloud: Black Cloud mighty chief... greatest of all! His warriors are many...

      Sgt. Matt Trainor: [Interrupting] Soon as you're finished patting yourself on the back, let's get down to cases. What's the deal?

    • Crazy credits
      Opening credits prologue: The Indian tribes of the southwest were at peace, except for the notorious renegade Comanche chieftain,Black Cloud, and his savage followers.

      For three years his raids and massacres threatened the security of the new peace.

      On August 27th, 1876, a cavalry scouting patrol, out from Fort Macklin seeking Black Cloud, stopped for water at the little town of Dry Buttes.

      Here, Black Cloud trapped them...

    An old fashioned shoot 'em up western
    This is an old fashioned cowboys and Indians story with the cavalry literally saving the heroic band of Indian fighters at the last minute. It has some very good old fashioned character actors with the likes of Broderick Crawford, Martin Milner, Mickey Shaughnessy and a much younger Della Street in the guise of Barbara Hale. In this age of extreme anxiety, with bands of terrorists threatening we know not where or what, it was very nice to escape back in time to this kind of well produced, well acted 50's western. Though it is, perhaps, a movie for those of a certain generation.
