Trivia
For authenticity, the producers decided to use real ranch horses in the movie. When the effect of bullets hit below Gus's horse, the response was genuine, and Robert Duvall was bucked off. Because it lent itself to the authenticity everyone desired, the cameras continued rolling, and the shot was kept in the final cut. See more »Goofs
The town Ogallala is spelled Ogalalla and Ogallala on different signs. The first spelling is the correct one. See more »Quotes

In my opinion, this is the best motion picture of all time! While it's a mini-series, I believe it matches up favorably (and surpasses) the best movies...Shawshank Redemption, Seven Samurai, Star Wars, Citizen Kane, and so on. The story, sets, acting, character development, music,....all amazing.
The production is as if you were plopped on a horse in the middle of a cattle drive in the old American West. Every detail was as if it was 1880...including dialogue, character depth...and the utter chaos and randomness of life.
While there are a couple special effects that might have been a little better, this work of art adds to life. When you have a block of time, watch it.
