Did you know
- TriviaRobert Mitchum admitted he regretted making this film.
- GoofsThe train conductor fires his shotgun at least ten times in the scene in the tunnel where everything goes black. The shots were far too close together to allow for any reloading and, since he was carrying a double barrel shotgun, that many shots would not have been possible in that span of time.

Featured review
The Very Good Guys
I am often critical about the movies spun out of Hollywood, overblown, ridiculous, far fetched, untrue etc, but one type of film they usually get right are Westerns, after all the Wild West was on the backdoor of Hollywood and deeply woven into American history, so they know exactly how to present one. This is a comedy, not much comedy in the west but the realistic scenes and sets are there, all down to a fine detail.
This is one they got right, a Comedy Western with great actor Robert Mitchum and great supporting actor George Kennedy, the acting is good, a bit tongue in cheek, but its a comedy, it has to be that, the scenery is great filmed in New Mexico and Colorado, the theme song (by Glen Yarborough) sung throughout is spot on and fits the film well. Directed well and good pacing, it could have been longer which I believe would have made it better, but no real complaints
David Carradine is good as the bad man, as is Martin Balsam as the Mayor, the town set is excellent and the train is spot on a real steam locomotive, not one of those fake Disney ones 3/4 the size, the costumes and sets are very realistic, the story is ok, not likely, but this is comedy, not a documentary on the west.
The modern westerns are usually poor compared to the better older ones, like this one, pity, but we can still watch films like this to reminisce.
