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.

A must-see just for the two baddies!

This film is not one of the all-time greats, or even close to becoming one, but it does have two of the most memorable badmen ever portrayed on film...Ted Markland as Strap the Be-Bop Killer, and Lew Askew as his trusty sidekick, Ruby. The two of them are positively hysterical in what should have been a straight badguy role, but they work so well together (great friends in real life) and play off each other so smoothly that their deadpan delivery makes this otherwise droll film shine. We get an idea of what is to come when Wanda innocently turns to Strap and asks what he does for a living. "Banks," he deadpans, cracking his gum. "We rob banks." The mayhem continues from there, as Strap and Ruby chase their quarry into the Grand Canyon. Don't miss it!
