    • Trivia
      The distinctive purple dress worn by Abigail at the hotel dinner is the same dress worn by the character of Dorothy Jennings in the TV show 'Dr Quinn: Medicine Woman'.
    • Goofs
      At the start of the movie, when the woman is being used as a shield, the closeup of Sheriff Biggs pistol shows no bullets in the chambers, but after she yells for him to shoot, the next closeup shows one shell, a hollow point, in the cylinder. Hollow points had not been invented at the time.

    This film is great!!!
    It's strange the ignorance of some people. Now here is really good movie in the western genre.

    Being a western movie fan who can appreciate a good story, good directing, plus beautiful cinematography.

    I have to say this one turned out to be a very good. Don't let someone who cannot find anything but four letter words stop you from watching.

    Kevin Sorbo plays well as a "cowboy" I've seen him in Avenging Angel another good western you will like the way he comes across. He's no John Wayne but who is? Lance Henriksen also does a good job. And ladies a little action for you for the women are the main story.
