The Fighting Preacher

All boxing scenes were shot in the last two days of filming so if McConnell got "smashed in the face or whatever, we still got our film," Christensen joked.

Four missionaries come to the house. Two of them are introduced as Elder Crawford Gates and Elder Gordon Hinckley. Latter-day Saints will recognize those names. Gates was a prominent composer and Hinckley was the Latter-day Saint Prophet from 1995 to 2008. The scene in the movie takes place around 1920 - 1922. Gates was born in 1921 and Hinckley in 1910. Gates would have been 1 year old and Hinckley 11 or 12 years old.

The opening credits are done in the style of silent movie intertitles.
