TRIVIA:
Cameo: [Ry Cooder] the saloon singer. Cooder composed the soundtrack.

Stuart Mossman, who played the "Engineer," was a renowned guitar maker and friend of the three Carradine brothers, who all owned Mossman guitars.

The film stars four sets of actual brothers, the Carradines, the Keachs, the Quaids and the Guests.

Originally Jeff Bridges and Beau Bridges were going to play the James brothers but they could not fit it in there schedules.

Although John Younger is portrayed as a cousin of the Youngers, he was a brother.

GOOFS:
Continuity: When Bob Younger is thrown from his horse in Northfield, Minnesota, and in the next two shots of him as he struggles to his feet under fire, he is holding a revolver in each hand. When the shot next cuts to him, he is frantically working and firing a Henry rifle. Presumably this came from the boot in his horse's saddle, but he has had barely a second in which to retrieve it.

Factual errors: The revolver Frank James threatens Rixley with and carries throughout the movie is a Smith-Wesson Schofield. In reality, Jesse carried a pair of Schofields while Frank preferred the heavier Remington New Army (the type of pistol shown carried by Cole Younger). After leaving prison, Frank James did a print testimonial for Remington referring to the Remington as 'the finest hand gun I ever carried'.

Errors in geography: Modern day power lines visible in the scenes shot in Georgia.
