    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Rare for a movie from this era, Scott is constantly shown reloading his gun, a far cry from the "magical gun that never runs out of bullets" trope so common back then.
    • Goofs
      In the opening scene, Randolph Scott is shot at by an ambusher, and rides away, climbs a very tall hill, where his clothing appears very dirty from the climb. After he shoots the ambusher in the next shot Scott's clothes are clean.

    Scott delivers the goods, again
    Randolph Scott is in my Hall of Fame. He made one solid western after another. "The Bounty Hunter" is another good one. The first half of the movie is fine but the second half is great stuff. The last half hour is very exciting. "The Bounty Hunter" is a good looking movie with a nice supporting cast. This movie is another enjoyable entry is the solid resume of Randolph Scott. Honorable mention: Ernest Borgnine. (By the way, I can't believe this movie had an Intermission. It's only 89 minutes long.)
