- TriviaAccording to some extras, a horse was killed during filming. Despite this happening the words "no animals were harmed during the filming of this movie" appeared during the end credits.
- GoofsAlthough the primary setting of the story is Missouri, the landscape, which is rolling hills and plateaus of brush prairie, does not exist in Missouri (that state's landscape is made of dense woods, farmlands, and Ozark Mountain ranges), and reveals the movie's true filming location in the Texas Hill Country.
- Alternate versionsOn the American release DVD there are 2 scenes that were cut from the original movie. One is a fight between Jesse and Frank at a bar. The other is Jesse "paying" for a girl for Jim Younger.

Featured review
Probably suit The Younger generation.
Many of today's younger viewers probably won't know too much about the James Boys, and The Youngers. So they can enjoy this for what it is, "a funny, bullet dodging romp, through the wild west. ". However the older generation should probably steer clear of this one. The Goodies are Baddies, and the Baddies are Goodies. Some of the one liners could have been written by the writers of Joey or Friends, with additional material by Mel Brooks, who might have called it "Men in Strides" I notice that the stunt men and special effects (which seem mandatory in today's films,) got all the awards. Figures about right. Jesse's escape from the train is strictly Van Damme. So, if you've never heard of Bob Ford, watch this, you'll probably enjoy it. However, if you are old enough to remember Bob, and Tyrone Power, I have a feeling that you won't.
