Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTo avoid confusing it with its TV series of the same name, Colt .45 (1957), Warner Bros. changed the film's title to "Chief Thundercloud". It has subsequently reverted back to its original title.
- GoofsThe movie is set in 1851, yet when the lights are knocked out in the Sheriff's Office, they are clearly electric (the last one even hangs from the wall by its electric wire). Electric lights weren't invented until approximately 1880 and electricity to such a town would have been lucky by 1910. Also, the costuming reflects 1870s, not 1850s, styles and fashions.
- Quotes
Prologue: A gun, like any other source of power, is a force for either good or evil, being neither in itself, but dependent upon those who possess it.

Featured review
For me, this western is my favourite for the Randolph Scott - Edwin Marin collaboration, the best, xanks to the terrific Zacharay Scott's character performance. He has never been better as a villain for me. For a plot not so far from WINCHESTER 73, Scott outperforms Dan Duryea concerning the Anthony Mann's western. Scott, for me, steals the show. The audiences will remind him ten times more than the wooden and predictable Randolph Scott. But the latest is OK, just as usual, when Z Scott, still a villain, is above than usual, awesome. I highly recommend this western, one of the best from Scott before the R Scott - Boetticher's collaboration several years later for Columbia pictures and also Warner - SEVEN MEN FROM NOW.
