- TriviaWhen shooting started in Moab, Utah, the temperature was 109 °F (43 °C). Towards the end of shooting, the temperature got to a low 9 °F (-13 °C).
- GoofsThere are a number of firearms mistakes throughout the film, mainly dealing with muzzle loading cap and ball revolvers being loaded with cartridges. The first part is supposed to take place in 1859, revolvers back then included the Colt Dragoon, Navy and Walker (which are used in the film), all of which are loaded by pouring gunpowder in the cylinders, crimping a ball (bullet) on top of a patch into the cylinder and putting a firing cap (primer) on the cylinder's nipple. The first cartridge firing revolvers weren't seen until around 1860 but were rare and expensive, they didn't become common enough for the average person to afford until the 1870's. The first affordable, mass produced cartridge firing revolver was the Colt Single Action Army released in 1873. Cartridge conversion kits for the Colt Walker, Army and Navy's seen here didn't come out until 1871.

Featured review
Kevin Costner mixes together the western novels he probably grew up reading
The good: -Great cinematography and use of scenery.
-Good suspense and action in the first half- hour.
-Good film score to compliment the scenes.
-Not sugar coating or politicizing the conflict with the Native Americans.
The bad: -Juggling different storylines doesn't see to be Kevin Costner's strong point. The script was all over the place. I wasn't sure what the montage at the end of the movie was trying to accomplish. It seemed to appear all of a sudden and, just like the script, jumped all over the place. Was I being shown a flash forward? A preview of the upcoming movies? It just seemed really pasted together.
-Kevin Costner seems to have jumped ship from Yellowstone to work on the epic set of films and in doing so, seems to be trying to "one up" Taylor Sheridan's series 1883 and 1923. Not sure what Kevin Costner needs to prove, but it seems like with this set of films, he's trying to prove himself to be the better story teller. In my opinion he's no better or worse than T. S. but leaving a T. V. series where you're a major character with major loose ends to tie up just to create a similar project smells a tad bit petty. This film almost seems like K. C. has bit off more than he can chew. This is not the way to engage theatre goers to invest in a four set of three hour films.
