Did You Know?
| Trivia | After this movie wrapped shooting, Burt Reynolds apparently kept a photo of himself from the film. The still was of the bedroom scene between him and Angie Dickinson. Reynolds apparently had the photo blown up and then hung it over the top of his bar at his house. A caption was added to the picture. It read: "An actor's life is pure hell?" See more » |
| Goofs | O.W. had Sam Whiskey shoot his Gatling-style gun, but Sam was hitting below the targets. O.W. said he was adjusting for Sam's eyesight and raised the front sight, but then he shot it himself and hit the targets. Raising the front sight would lower the trajectory of the bullets even further, not raise it. And the adjustment was for Sam's eyes, not O.W.'s, yet O.W. was the one who shot the gun and hit the targets after raising the front sight. See more » |
