Trivia
Director Stewart Raffill once said of working with James Coburn on this movie that Coburn was "one of the most interesting people I've ever met. He was terribly beat up with arthritis at the time and had to be lifted onto a horse . . . [but ]he was interested in all sorts of esoteric philosophies and things."

Goofs
The men first set out on the trip in a Chevy blazer but when they stop to pick up the guns they arrive in a dodge ram charger.

Quotes
Dan: Look, we've got four million dollars. We could put Donald Duck in the White House.

I'll never forget taking a chance on this sleeper featured on a double-bill with some chop-sockey movie!

I absolutely love this film! Whenever I have theatre nachos (which is not often) I think back to 20 years ago when I fell in love with this forgotten gem at the Meridian Quad theatre in San Jose. That's what I ate during the film. They went together perfectly. I had the original one-sheet poster hanging on my wall for awhile. Many people who saw the poster had no idea this film even existed. If it ever comes out on DVD, I'll purchase it. Anthony Quinn was priceless as the bandit Mariano; and Borgnine's one scene is a classic! I recommend it to anyone looking for a genuine diamond-in-the-rough eighties film! Just terrific!
