    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This originally started life as a Samuel Fuller film with Richard Harris and Bo Hopkins. Filming had begun, but Warner Brothers were so unimpressed with the first rushes, that they shut down the production, and retooled it completely.
    • Goofs
      With the final member of the gang, the killing is done with a shotgun. At no time in the movies did the sheriff have any gun other than a pistol or Winchester.
    • Quotes

      Katharine Kilpatrick: [as Sean sits with dead bodies of his wife and child he thinks back to Kevin's birthday] Come now, Sean. After all, it's the boy's birthday, and he has his heart set on it.

      Sheriff Sean Kilpatrick: Katharine, I don't care if it's the boy's birthday.

      Katharine Kilpatrick: It's only a toy gun. *All* little boys want toy guns.

      Kevin Kilpatrick: Why can't I have a gun, Daddy?

      Sheriff Sean Kilpatrick: 'Cause you can't reason with a gun, Kevin. I know it's hard for you to understand. If you have a gun, then another person wants to have a gun, and then another and another. And pretty soon, everyone has to live with a gun - that's very, very bad. We must not allow guns to do our thinking for us.

      Kevin Kilpatrick: I don't wanna hear anymore! You're a mean daddy, and I don't love you anymore.

    • Alternate versions
      The original UK cinema version was heavily cut by the BBFC to edit blows and punches from fight scenes, closeups of bloodied faces and a gunshot to a man's groin. The 1988 Warner video release featured the same cut print.

    A "Can't Miss" movie that misses.
    "The Deadly Trackers" has a terrific cast. Put them in any other western and it would be great. For some reason this movie isn't so good. The most annoying thing in the movie, hands down, is Neville Brand's metal hand. It's just so stupid that it's wildly distracting. That's not the only problem with "The Deadly Trackers". This movie suffers from a cheapness to the production. It looks like a low budget spaghetti western. That may have been the type of western that they were trying to make but it just doesn't work. What a shame. "The Deadly Trackers" could have been great. (Just for the record, I enjoyed this movie tonight more than I did the last time I saw it. I'll give it another go in a few months. See what happens.)
