------------------------
After reading S. Craig Zahler's second novel called "Wraiths of the Broken Land" (2013), Kurt Russell stated that "Zahler's a fabulous story teller whose style catapults his reader into the turn of the century West with a ferocious sense of authenticity". The phrase is written on the back cover of the book.
------------------------
Before choosing Southern California, the producers considered the possibility of shooting the movie in New Mexico and Utah.
------------------------

------------------------
John Brooder wears the same style pistol holster as Johnny Ringo in Tombstone.
------------------------

------------------------
During the sheriff's first hand to hand contact with the 'cave dwellers' he is thrown to the ground and his hat drops, brim first, close to his head on his right hand side. In subsequent shots it alternates between this position and being on his left, turned upside down.
------------------------
When O Dwyer sets off on foot, he is seen putting on his jacket. The next scene, he is without it, Later, he is seen with the jacket again.
------------------------
Nearing end of the movie when the captor attempts to shoot Hunt with Brooder's rifle, you can hear the hammer drop each time he pulls the trigger. This is not possible with a lever action rifle as the hammer is cocked by working the lever and chambering a round (as he later found out). Otherwise nothing would happen when trigger is pulled.
------------------------
At 1:30:22, when the Sheriff and his deputy are leaving Mr. Brooder, the troglodyte is clearly seen as breathing, even though he is already dead at that point.
------------------------
When the O'Dwyers and Chicory are walking through the burial ground at the end, Mr O'Dwyer has his crutch and his splint on his left leg. Everywhere else, the injury, the splint and the crutch are on his right.
