Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCharles Bronson refused to play in the scene where he saves a naked woman. He refused because she was without clothes. Director Michael Winner eventually used a trick to make the scene without Bronson's agreement.
- GoofsSeveral times as the posse rides through the desert, the saguaro cacti props in the background can be seen jiggling and flapping their arms in the wind.
- Quotes
Capt. Quincey Whitmore: Apaches don't leave tracks unless they got a reason.
- Crazy creditsThere are no closing credits or an end title--merely a simple cut to black.
- Alternate versionsThe original UK cinema version was cut for violence and the later Warner video received 41 secs of cuts to horsefalls and the rape scene, though the print used was missing the shooting of the burning Indian and a shot of Jubal Hooker's face being hit with a rock. In 2004 most of the cuts were waived with only 14 seconds now missing to remove sight of horses being made to fall in a fashion that is prohibited under BBFC Policy and also by the Cinematograph (Animals) Act of 1937.

Featured review
Once again this movie review sight has given a superb movie a lousy rating, and once again I blame the morons that write these reviews. Clearly the coming of brain transplant surgery will be none to soon. This movie is what westerns are supposed to be like, gritty, tough, sweaty, with no holds barred and plenty of action and blood. The plot is simple but works well and does not treat you as if you're a dummy, everything that happens makes sense. Bronson definitely looks and acts like he is an Indian living off the land, he does a superb job and I defy anyone to think of another actor who could play this role. The ending while immensely satisfying also leaves you feeling quite empty as the hero may have won, but why did it have to happen in the first place. Hatred, discrimination and overconfidence were the root causes which drove the posse to chase this fugitive into country he called his own, and in the end they paid for it with their own blood. So I guess you could say this movie also makes you think a little as it does have a moral to the story, which most of the new movies do not.
