* ArtisticLicenseBiology: The baby is supposedly a newborn and summaries refer to him as such. However, the actor is clearly several months old and the characters mention that he's already teething.

* WorthyOpponent: "The more I think of that big fella in the Texas hat, the more I admire him," says Sheriff Sweet, while trying to figure out which way Robert and his gang will head. Sheriff Sweet changes his mind later, getting severely pissed when he thinks Robert and company dynamited the water hole. (It was actually the pregnant woman's husband, who was too lazy to dig for water and wound up destroying the water hole.)
