    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      In this movie, Valdez appears as a part-time shotgun rider on the Hatch & Hodges stagecoach. Elmore Leonard, who wrote the novel that this movie is based on, used the same stagecoach service in other of his novels, like "Hombre" and "Last Stand at Saber River".
    • Goofs
      At the end of the film, when Valdez is riding hidden between two horses, a wire is visible holding the horses' bridles together, so that they won't separate during Lancaster's close-up.
    • Quotes
      • [last lines]
      • Frank Tanner: I shoulda killed you three days ago.
      • El Segundo: Or gone to Nogales.
      • Bob Valdez: Or paid the hundred dollars.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK DVD has at least one horse tripping edited. Towards the end Valdez and the lady ride at each other, the horses clashing and falling. This scene is missing in the UK version, you see them riding towards each other and suddenly they are down on the ground, rising up. The German version is uncut.
