    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The train in the opening credits and closing scene is Colorado's Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, which was then the Denver and Rio Grande Western. In 1971 the DRGW was still owner and operator of the line, and this track was still part of a class 1 railroad and not a tourist / heritage railroad. Even though DRGW was looking at the time for a buyer or just the permission to the interstate transportation board for abandonment of the rail grade. They would find neither until the mid 1980s.
    • Goofs
      SPOILER: After the final dynamite explosion, we learn that the 'I Love Goldie' tattoo has been blasted off his chest. This could only happen if all the skin had been burned or stripped from his chest, yet he has suffered no obvious injury and his face is not harmed.

      This was obviously no goof, many implausible things happen in this movie (such as Patience shooting her rifle all over the place and nobody every getting hurt) because it's a comedy and it does not pretend to mimic reality.

      Jug: You hit that fellow from behind?

      Latigo: Just as hard as I could!

    For the entire family
    Good wholesome family entertainment without any of today's obvious little references towards sex and bad language. James Garner always gives a fine performance with his flair for comedy. Be sure to also see "Support Your Local Sheriff". The kids will love it.
