    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      At night, the actors would actually get together to play music and sing. When they were drunk, they'd make Lou Diamond Phillips sing "La Bamba", as he had played Ritchie Valens in La Bamba (1987).
    • Goofs
      Late in the movie, Doc stands up during the gunfight and bumps the brick chimney. It bounces as though made of rubber.
    • Quotes

      Charley Bowdre: We work for Mr. Tunstall as regulators. We regulate any stealing off his property - we're damn good too! Mr. Tunstall's got a soft spot for runaways, dareless, vagrant types. But you can't be any geek off the street, gotta be handy with the steel, if you know what I mean, earn your keep.

    Probably a 6 for the average movie goer. An easy 8 - if you know meaning of the word 'Pals'.
