    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Writer and director Walter Hill said that Jeff Bridges was "an actor I greatly love... a very nice man, decent, hard working, got along well, no problems", but that there "was always a kind of tension between Jeff and myself" because "Jeff does a lot of takes, I don't. My focus is very intense, but when it gets to be you just doing it again and again, I lose it, and I find an awful lot of performers go stale. He would always have an idea he thought he could make something better."
    • Goofs
      Deadwood is in a gulch in the Black Hills and is surrounded by cliffs on both sides.
    • Quotes

      Young Woman with Parasol: He said that you were... a horse molester.

      James Butler 'Wild Bill' Hickok: Did he say what horse?

    A disappointment
    I was excited when this film was first announced, because I've always been fascinated with the character of Wild Bill Hickok. But the movie is a disaster. It is presented as a historical account of Hickok's life, and it is completely inaccurate. I can see embellishing the truth a bit for a movie, but it was just done totally wrong in this movie. The only good thing about it is that Jeff Bridges looked almost exactly like the real Wild Bill...
