Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe weekend before shooting was scheduled to wrap, a freak storm dumped nearly two feet of snow on the drought plagued town. Laborers shovelled the snow from the buildings' balconies and roofs, and distributed eighty-nine dump trucks worth of dry soil on the ground. Backhoes created an eight foot tall rampart of snow just beyond camera sight lines for the remaining six days of shooting.
- GoofsBefore the gang set the stage coach on fire, one upward-angled shot of Charlie Prince shows that there is no roof on the stage. The lawman "trapped" inside could have exited through the large rectangular hole at any time.
- Crazy creditsRussell Crowe's name is not used in the end credits when crediting his assistant, driver, stand-in, dialect coach, costumer, hair stylist and makeup artist; instead, his character's name, Ben Wade, is used.
Featured review
Just saw a screening of this movie in New York. Amazing. Bale continues to prove that he is quickly becoming one of the best lead actors out there. Crowe exudes cool throughout the movie as a heartless, smooth talking, Bible quoting killer. Of course...Ben Foster. Yes. Ben Foster. Welcome him to the bigtime, cause he made this movie. There hasn't been a western with a character so badass as the one Ben Foster plays in this movie. Story-wise, the movie is an opposite Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, with the good guys trying to run away from the bad guys in order to make a 3:10 train to Yuma. What ensues is an awesome movie you wanna watch till the last battle.
