Goofs
After Whitey and Louise have been playing in the river, when they walk away from it how wet they are changes between shots. When the camera is behind them they are barely wet, Louise's hair still has volume and her shirtwaist sleeves are still puffed, but when the camera changes to in front of them they are soaked through, Louise's hair is flattened and sticking to her face, and her shirtwaist sleeves are clinging to her arms.

Quotes
[last lines]
Frank Griffin: [drawing his gun] While I admire your ginger, sir, sometimes men *want* me to kill them, so they can die attached to some purpose. Is that what you want? You want me to kill you? Turn you into a bedtime story?
Bill McNue: I'd prefer to kill you first.
Frank Griffin: You won't kill me, friend.
Bill McNue: Not today, I won't.
Frank Griffin: Not ever. I've seen how it happens. Ain't gonna be the law that blows out my spark.
Bill McNue: If you say so.
Frank Griffin: I *know* so. And now you do, too.
[holsters his gun]
Frank Griffin: Good luck to you, sir...

5/10

A bit flat

Most of the characters seemed like they were written to fit a specific archetype rather than having much life on their own. Wise Indian woman great hunter archetype. But she never took her grandson out hunting? Flat. Mean black guy acts tough to all whites and beats his daughter but has no personality, Lucy Cole takes him in as caring grandmother trope and has him for at least 7 years but never teaches him to read or write. Many others (sheriff, woman administering to the sick, on and on)

Too bad they didn't write many characters and just relied on tropes. Mailing in most of the writing.
