Did You Know?
| Trivia | The movie was made from two episodes of Disney's TV show spliced together and released as a profitable feature film. Walt Disney filmed his show in color even though few color TVs were being sold as yet. As a result, the Davy Crockett episodes could be turned into instant movies by stitching the episodes together.

| Goofs | The move is set in 1810. Davy asks Georgie to charge up Old Betsy in the saloon. Davy got his rifle, Old Betsy, in the 1820's. See more » |

| Quotes |
[Crockett and Russel approach Fink as the Gullywhumper is secured to the boat landing]
Davy Crockett: Excuse me, mister? Which one of them fellers is captain of this boat? Mike Fink: What did you say? Moose: [laughing] He wants to know who the captain is! [Fink smacks Moose] Mike Fink: How long you bush-wackers been beating the backwoods? Why, everybody knows who the captain of the Gullywhumper is! It's me! Mike Fink, King of the River! George Russel: Well, Captain, meet up with Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier. Mike Fink: Davy Crockett, huh? Well, it sure is a small world. You're about a foot shorter than you oughta be. George Russel: Don't worry, he's still a growin'. Mike Fink: Yeah, like them yarns they keep spreadin' about him. Davy Crockett: Mighty hard to live up to, sometime. Mike Fink: Well, I don't have any trouble livin' up to mine. I am the original ringtail roarer from the thunder 'n lightnin' country! I'm a real snorter and a head buster! I can out-run, out-jump, out-sing, out-swim, out-dance, out-shoot, out-eat, out-drink... Davy Crockett: Out-talk? Mike Fink: Yeah, out-talk, out-cuss and out-fight anybody in the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers put together! See more » |
