Did you know
- TriviaMarlon Brando's performance in this film was mostly improvised. Director Arthur Penn eventually gave up on him, and decided to just let him act whatever way he wanted.
- GoofsIn quite a few (European) countries, the local title of this film translates to "Duel in Missouri". However, the film takes place in Montana, in the Missouri River Breaks area.
- Quotes
Hellsgate rancher: They call this country Hell's Gate. When my dad came in here, it was nothing but a bunch of savage Indians. And Jesuits. Old Thomas Jefferson said that he was a warrior so his son could be a farmer, so *his* son could be a poet. And I raise cattle so my son can be a merchant, so his son can move to Newport, Rhode Island and buy a sailboat and never see one of these bastard-ass sons of bitching mountains again.
Si: Who was Thomas Jefferson?
Hellsgate rancher: A guy back east.
- Alternate versionsThe original UK cinema version was cut for a 'AA' (15) certificate by the BBFC to edit a sex scene, a shooting, a shot of a spike hitting a man's forehead, and blood dripping from a man's mouth. The cuts were fully restored in the 1987 video release, though the later 2004 DVD version was slightly re-edited owing to print damage.
