    • Trivia
      Last cinema film of Bill Bixby.
    • Goofs
      When Amos and Theodore are handling the dynamite, they keep saying it will go off if it hits the floor. Dynamite requires a special chemical reaction to be set off, hitting the floor is not enough. However in a previous scene, the bank owner proclaims that the dynamite is "sweating" meaning that a simple drop could set it off. "Sweating" dynamite is extremely dangerous, as this "sweat" is nitroglycerin! In the time period of this film, dynamite was made of sawdust saturated in nitroglycerin, which could be exploded by a bullet hit or striking it against something.

    Apple Dumpling Gang

    I saw the Apple Dumpling Gang when I was a child and I found the film to be delightful. The film is intended to be pure comedy and that is what it delivers.

    Don Knotts and Tim Conway are both excellent actors and they provided a superb performance in this comedy. This is a show that I was proud to show my children and my grandchildren as it holds wonderful childhood memories for me.

    There are a lot of shows out there today that are too violent, and rude. This show is refreshing in that you can be assured that your children are not watching blood splattering or listening to foul language. This show is in true Walt Disney fashion.
