Anecdotes
Henry Fonda, the legendary veteran actor and father of the film's director and lead male actor Peter Fonda, plays an old prospector in the Grand Canyon. As the prospector leaves Beaudray Demerille (Peter Fonda) and Wanda Nevada (Brooke Shields), the song "Oh My Darling, Clementine" plays on the soundtrack. Henry Fonda had starred in the John Ford film La poursuite infernale (1946) as Wyatt Earp.

Gaffes
In the shot before they meet the "old prospector," Bo, Wanda and their mules are making their way down a boulder strewn path in the canyon. One of the mules bumps a boulder with its pack causing the boulder to slide to the left revealing that it is a light-weight fiberglass fake, rather than a solid rock.

Citations
Wanda Nevada: Why do we always have to do it your way?
Beaudray Demerille: Because I got all the money and the guns.

OK,I'm prejudiced.I watched this movie in Livingston,Montana when it came out in the local theatre.There were a few rather rowdy folks behind me in an otherwise pretty empty house and they were being a bit noisier than I liked.After a few pointed stares and shushes as the movie started I got PO'D and turned around and flat told them to "shut the Hell up!".It was with some chagrin that about two minutes later I recognized Peter Fonda on screen as the guy sitting behind me.........

Now,context.The movie is set in the early 50's(Studebaker Hawks etc) and the relationship between the Fonda character and the Shields character reflects/mirrors that between jerry lee Lewis and his child bride and Elvis Presley and Priscilla! Either it is totally coincidental or Old Petey was at least trying to be prescient.

Yes it is a kinda dopey movie but I did enjoy it,not just because Peter was sitting behind me (He is a darn nice guy,not at like his nasty sister) but it was just a rather harmless bit of fun movie.Nuff said. John
