Continuity mistake: When Cooper is at his desk and puts his head in his hands he is not wearing a badge. Then the kid comes in, and he looks up and the badge is there.
Other mistake: When Kane comes to warn Ms Ramirez that Frank Miller is in town, Kane puts his black hat in a chair by the door. When he approaches Ms Ramirez, he has the hat in his left hand.
Continuity mistake: Lee van Cleef's guns are turned backwards in their holsters when Sheb Wooley breaks the store window.
Amy: Don't try to be a hero! You don't have to be a hero, not for me.
Trivia: Released during the height of Communist hysteria, the film is a thinly disguised indictment of McCarthyism. The cowardice of the townspeople represents the blacklisting that ruined careers and lives, particularly in Hollywood, all the while supposedly good people were afraid to do the right thing and stand up for those singled out for persecution.
