    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When Henry (Jack Nicholson) is riding on horseback to catch the stagecoach carrying Julia (Mary Steenburgen), the horse loses its footing and plows into a ditch throwing Henry several feet in the air. The scene was not planned that way, and that was director Jack Nicholson flying head first into the ditch. Fortunately, neither the horse nor Nicholson was injured, except for some bruises. Later, upon viewing the footage in dailies, Nicholson exclaimed, "That's a keeper!"
    • Goofs
      Moon is on the gallows to be hanged, but the gallows has a solid platform with no visible trap door.

    Wow. A cocaine-fueled disaster.
    One can't help but notice how Nicholson eventually gave up on concealing his hilariously obvious coke nose (to the untrained ear it just sounds like "allergies"- this is the usual excuse given, of course....).

    Over the counter allergy medicine can help with allergy symptoms. Nothing helps cocaine-blasted sinuses.

    Not even Scorsese could direct while coked up. Nicholson's attempt is considerably more disastrous. Take a second look at the cast (see Belushi) and it isn't hard to deduce what happened to this movie.

    Note that it gets steadily worse as the film progresses.

    I wasn't expecting a "great" movie being that this was Nicholson's only directing effort. I was just curious. I didn't expect something this bad. Yikes.

    • Would this be the first film that Mary Steenburgen and Christopher Lloyd made together...???
