    • Trivia
      It was while filming this movie that Alan Hale Jr. got his casting call for Gilligan's Island (1964). He had to ride out of Zion National Park in Zion's Canyon, Utah on horseback to the highway and hitchhike to Las Vegas to fly out to the interview.
    • Goofs
      At around the 56-57 minute mark after the fight between Logan Keliher ( Murphy ) and Sam Ward ( McGavin ) when Ward escapes by a running-mount of a horse, the "special" left-side stirrup can be seen as the stunt double rides away.
    • Quotes

      Seida: Logan, don't take any chances. I don't want you to kill him. But if it has to be you or him - if it comes to that - I want you to come back.

    Who IS the Badguy?
    A great movie that twists and turns as the characters in the movie are confronted with opportunity, regret, revenge, loyalty (or lack of).

    It pumps along at a great pace, providing entertainment all the way.

    Murphy's wife in this movie may be the 'pointy-est' woman I have ever seen in the old west (you will see what I mean lol) a miracle that no one loses an eye!

    Lots of fun...enjoy :)
