    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      James Lee Barrett reportedly wrote this for Peter O'Toole.
    • Goofs
      [ at about 26 minutes into the movie ] When Tommy McBride is supposed to be playing the bagpipes, his blowing into the bagpipes does not match the music coming out, at all! Music comes out in between his breaths, when he is not blowing.

      Yes and the whole point of the bag-pipes is that the bag provides a reservoir so there's always air available and the piper doesn't have to breathe in time to the music.
    • Quotes

      [examining the corpse of Bill, Junior Frisbee's former partner]

      Colonel Morgan: Well, I'd say he looks healthier than the last time I saw him.

      Junior Frisbee: How can he look healthier when he's dead?

      Colonel Morgan: It must agree with him.

    • Crazy credits
      Paradoxically--considering its definition--the film's title is presented in all lower case letters, as can be seen in the poster.

    Film location
    Sorry markspangler1, but the location wasn't the Superstition Mountains of Arizona, it was filmed just outside Durango, Mexico where lots of western films have been made. Beautiful scenery, mountains and plains, deep blue skies unmarked by jet contrails or fences. Through a chance meeting with Hal Needham, Stunt Coordinator and stunt double for Dean Martin, I was invited on the set during filming. I've always wondered at why it wasn't a more popular film. Great actors, great director in big Andrew McLaglen (the man is BIG!) great scenery and cinematography. My biggest regret was not being on the set when Ben Johnson was on location. Just missed him. He was always one of my favorite actors. Authentic, unpretentious and believable in all his roles. Dean is funny and the dog a real trooper. See this movie if you can.
