    • Trivia
      Richard Jordan later admitted he decided to overplay his part because he thought the movie was going to flop, and if anybody paid to see it then it would only be for the two stars. He also said he felt that Katharine Hepburn was about to die at any minute - ironically, she outlived him by a decade.
    • Goofs
      In one scene, the Indian boy, Wolf, asks Rooster Cogburn if he ever ran into Billy the Kid or Jesse James, which Cogburn denied; however, Cogburn served with Quantrill's Raiders, a pro-Confederate guerrilla group in the Civil War, whose members included a then-teenage Jesse James--making it quite likely that Cogburn would've met him.

      [last lines]

      Eula: Reuben, I have to say it. Livin' with you has been an adventure any woman would relish for the rest o' time. I look at cha, with your burned out face and your big belly and your bear-like paws and your shining eye, and I have to say you're a credit to the whole male sex, and I'm proud to have ya for my friend.

      Rooster Cogburn: I'll be damned if she didn't get the last word in again. Well...

    The film was just too much fun.
    There is a palpable and undeniable chemistry between wayne and hepburn. They were exceptional. Hysterical, intelligent, and incredibly witty was the dialog between the two. Hepburns fun with wayne, I think, that's what makes the team succeed. When she's laughing and having fun with him, she's letting us know we can be too. She makes sure we have an outsiders eye to see him. See how ridiculous it can be. Wonderful duo. Interesting work with the camera. It's worth going back and studying how the cameras changed lenses. Very beautiful scenery. The film was just too much fun. What an explosion.
