Crazy Credits: We know about 4 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
After the list of the cast is a series of out-takes

Goofs: We know about 4 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Revealing mistakes: In the opening sequence, Vance Shaw escapes a posse by riding through a herd of grazing wild buffalo. But in close-ups of the beasts, cowboys herding them can be seen in the background, despite no such cowhands in the establishing long shots of the herd.

Trivia: There are 2 entries in the trivia list - like these:

• Studio publicity noted that Fox contract star Henry Fonda had served as technical adviser on the film, due to his experience as a young man working as a lineman. Fondas "technical advisory" capacity was most certainly a publicity fiction, and in any event Fonda was not credited on the film itself.
• Originally, Laird Cregar was cast in this film in an undetermined role (possibly that of Doc Murdoch), but was unable to do the film due to an unfinished other project. He was replaced by George Gabby Hayes, but Hayes then became ill and was himself replaced.
