Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the scene where Augie tries to jump on Jake's horse and falls to the ground, the horse is wearing Jake's hat. This was Costner's idea just before the cameras rolled to keep with his character's goofy nature. Kasdan loved the idea, and it stayed in the film.
- GoofsAfter the duel between Cobb and Paden and in the final scene, a 50-star US flag is visible hanging in front of a building. In the 1880s, this should have been a 38-star flag.
- Quotes
Mal Johnson: Now, I don't wanna kill you, and you don't wanna be dead.
- Alternate versionsCMT Cable runs a version that ends right as the heroes leave the McKitrick ranch. Credits roll with literally the last 20 minutes of the movie cut off.
Review
Featured review
Great entertainment
I love this movie, so much that I finally got tired of renting it and bought a copy. I tell anyone who asks that it's "...the western for 12-year-old boys of all ages." I'd guess that women would enjoy it also, if for no other reason than the superb male cast. I can't think of a film which has a cast with greater depth. I love the humor woven through the episodes of action and buddyhood, and nearly fell out of my seat laughing when John Cleese first appeared on screen. His first line is an all-time great, right up there with Tommy Lee Jones' "My my, what a mess" in The Fugitive (I won't quote it, in case you haven't seen the film). If you want to be thoroughly entertained for a couple of hours, and don't require powerful social import in your viewing choices, I'd recommend Silverado strongly. Actually, the relationship of Danny Glover to the main protagonists IS socially important, so enjoy that too.
