This was a typical John Wayne--always the tough good guy in the white hat; but his first anachronism. One of the first to show any of his sons, too. Also, one of the few where he seems surprised (Gun clicks on an empty--big eyes. He also admits being scared--a first for him.) This show of softness is very refreshing.

Wayne's character scoffs modern "improvements"; but bends a little at the "prodigious" accuracy of Chris Mitchum's rifle; and grudgingly accepts the superior firepower of the automatic Bergmann--it Did save his life.70.176.79.198 (talk) 16:14, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The gore was odd for a Wayne movie--he'd just been interviewed by Playboy, despising the blood in "The Wild Bunch". I guess it is because the writers, Julius Fink and his brother,were the same that did "Dirty Harry" later.

Chris Mitchum's motorcycle does amazing things for a 1909 'cycle--jumping cliffs and things. It is obviously a Suzuki two cylinder two stroke 400cc with added wide pin-striped fenders and tanks; and acetylene headlamp. Rifle scabbards cover the hydraulic suspension. These jumps are thrilling, but I wish the editors had dubbed in the rumble of an old Harley rather than the ring-ding-ding of a Jap enduro machine,

His rifle looks oddly like a modern Remington Model 70 (so does one of Fain's men's); although a 1903 Springfield or two are also seen. His Bergmann pistol I still haven't found. They apparently didn't make very much.68.231.185.24 (talk) 21:42, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
