Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaViggo Mortensen committed to this movie during a busy stretch of work. When filming was delayed, he tried to beg off, asking Ed Harris to try to find another actor. Harris interviewed 20 others for the role, but they either declined or weren't right for the part. Mortensen agreed to do it, and according to Harris, "Two days before we started principal photography, Viggo shows up in New Mexico. He's ready to go. He's done research on the period. He's given really great thought to his character. He had detailed ideas about his wardrobe and his props. He was in excellent shape and good spirits, and he subsequently played Everett Hitch to perfection. Viggo Mortensen is a man of his word."
- GoofsWhen Bragg comes out to confront Jack Bell in the opening sequence, he hands a cup to one of his ranch hands. After the shooting, the cup is not seen again.
- Quotes
Allison French: I'm sorry, Virgil.
Virgil Cole: [Everett stands to leave] Stay here, Everett.
Allison French: I'm sorry. I was so alone, and Bragg... Well, Ring protected me and so did his brother.
Virgil Cole: You fuck Mackie, too?
Allison French: No. It was Ring. He was in charge. I just did what I had to do.
Virgil Cole: Everett... Ring kills me, do you think she'll go off with him?
Everett Hitch: [after a long, thoughtful pause] I think Allie needs to be with a man.
Allison French: You're a bastard! Don't listen to him. He tried to put his hands on me when I showed him our house.
Everett Hitch: No, Virgil. I did not.
Virgil Cole: No, Allie. Everett didn't do that.
Allison French: You believe him over me?
Virgil Cole: That's correct.
