Wilhem Scream - A few minutes into the beginning of the film, Nicolas Cage's character shoots a man, and the Wilhelm Scream can be lightly heard.
The first traditional western starring Nicolas Cage.
Nick Searcy plays a U.S. marshal in this movie. He previously played Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Art Mullen in Justified.
The music and melody on the soundtrack after the initial scene as the "20 years later" scene begins sounds like the score of Randy Newman's music for The Natural (1984).
