Patrick Wayne plays Pat Garrett. His legendary father, John Wayne, starred in Chisum (1970), another movie about the Lincoln County Wars of 1878 that featured Pat Garrett (played by Glenn Corbett) and Billy the Kid (Geoffrey Deuel).

Contrary to the depiction in this movie, "Dirty" Steve Stephens survived the Lincoln County War. After the conflict he left Lincoln announcing his intention to relocate to Denver Colorado. From there, like so many of the minor players in the Lincoln County War, he simply vanishes from history. His ultimate fate and final resting place remain unknown to this day.

When Richard is reading "in so much as it pleaseth Almighty God..." at Tunstall's burial he is holding a Bible. The funeral rite and the words he is supposedly reading are not in the Bible, but in the Book of Common Prayer.

When Billy shoots Murphy at the end, the close up of Billy shows him with his left arm on his right using it for balance. After he shoots, there's a close up of Murphy with Billy in the background with his left arm in the air. The next close up of Billy has left arm still on his right using it for balance.
