    • Trivia
      Quentin Tarantino was very enthusiastic about this movie, because of the mad stallion sequence, one of the best ever made, according to him.
    • Goofs
      When Dodie ran into the corral to rescue his injured dog from the bucking horse Lucifer, it was obviously a lightweight stuffed animal that he picked up from the ground.
    • Quotes

      Clay Anderson: For me, salvation is a clean pistol and a good horse.

    Surprisingly good
    This film is full of all kinds of surprises. I found it very sophisticated for a western. It's action packed but spiritual, too. And boy what a horse scene. It's a redemption story but in a most unique way. I recommend for the whole family.
