Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Burt Reynolds' final western role, and he reportedly took it specifically because filming location was near his Florida home. Commitment to convenience.
Based on the real 1892 Johnson County War, though the Hammett brothers are fictional composites. The actual conflict involved hired killers and ended with political intervention — way messier than this cleaned-up TV version.
