Trivia

Though filmmaker Travis Mills usually prefers actual blank fire on set, all gunshots in Texas Red were added digitally by visual effects artist Bill Wilson because of the inability to fire shots in neighborhoods where filming took place. The sound of the gunshots were taken from actual live fire recorded at the end of production from all of the weapons used by the characters.

User Reviews

Powerful! Folklore, legend, truth, ?justice?..."You gotta know when to run"

We watched Texas Red play the cards dealt him. So many players were in that game; maybe only Coochie wore a poker face, but Dolly's tears will remind you of what it can cost to love someone. The Oklahoma Kid was his friend to the end, but he couldn't stop Red's fate. Was Red the victim of the hand dealt him? Did he stand or take a card? We'll never know, as the truth and the lore are as a scrambled egg, never to be separated.
