    • Trivia

    • Goofs
      Uranium isn't explosive and can't be ignited by dynamite. Uranium-233 will "go supercritical" and result in a nuclear explosion if more than about 33 pounds are formed into a perfect sphere (more is needed if it is shaped differently. Other isotopes of Uranium have even larger critical masses. Since the Uranium in the boxes hadn't already exploded, they must not have contained the critical mass of uranium and blowing the boxes up with dynamite would only have scattered the uranium making it less likely to explode.
    • Quotes

      Gus McGreevey: Every condemned man gets a last request. What's yours gonna be?

      Sam Danville: Well, I wouldn't mind if they'd built that gallows a little higher. I'd prefer it if my neck snapped straight off instead of strangling slow-like. There's no dignity in a death like that.

      Gus McGreevey: Ask for a cigar.

      Sam Danville: Hmm, why's that?

      Gus McGreevey: The sheriff brings them in special and hates having to share, even with a dying man.

      Sam Danville: Never did kind to smoking. Nearly choked me to death the first time I tried.

      Gus McGreevey: Death by cigar. Sure beats a noose.

    Bizarre western/sci-fi mashup
    Well I made it through this bizarre western/sci-fi mash up, that's about all I can say about this. It's a definite B-movie with the aliens reminiscent of (copied from) 'War Of The Worlds' only on a smaller and much cheaper scale as is the whole tone of this weird movie.

    It follows (best I can figure) a condemned outlaw (train robber Sam Phoenix -James Marsters) who's eminent hanging is abruptly halted by an invasion of aliens. Outlaws and townspeople must then join forces to survive as the ragtag group find sanctuary in a church. Yeah this was a tough movie to get through. I found the female gunslinger/bounty hunter character super annoying but was strangely fascinated by James Marsters' hair which look great throughout. 05.13
