A Million Ways to Die in the West

Trivia: While talking to the Native Americans, Albert says "Mila Kunis", which translates into "fine." Mila Kunis is the actress who voices Meg in Family Guy.

Trivia: The man Clinch shoots at the bar when he first gets to town is Ryan Reynolds, who is uncredited. Reynolds has also appeared in Seth McFarlane's "Ted" (for which he was also uncredited) and "Family Guy."

Trivia: Ewan McGregor has a cameo in this film after he turned up on set to visit Charlize Theron and Liam Neeson. Charlize Theron asked him if he wanted to do it for fun, somewhat blindsiding Seth MacFarlane, who quickly got on board, not least as McGregor already had suitable facial hair as he was filming Jane Got a Gun at the time. The whole scene was done off the cuff, and he is uncredited. He's the man at the fair who gets challenged by Seth MacFarlane to explain why he's laughing and says "I don't know. He was laughing."

Trivia: Although it sounds made up to fit the plot of the movie, the song "If You've Only Got a Moustache" was a real song from the 1860's. It was written by Stephen Foster (lyrics by George Cooper) who also wrote "Camptown Races" and "Oh! Susanna," although some of the lyrics were changed in the film. Foster (who is also brought up in a later scene) incidentally died at the age of 37 from a fall and fever, which also seems to fit the plot of the movie of so many random ways to die.

Trivia: When Albert is hallucinating, the guardian of the future sheep is voiced by Patrick Stewart in an uncredited role. Stewart has done voice work on other Seth McFarlane films and shows, such as "Ted" and "American Dad."

Trivia: Anna asks Louise "How can you blind with eyes that big?" This was done in almost the same way and tone as when McCoy asked the alien captain in Star Trek III "How you can be deaf with ears that big?"

Movie Nut

Continuity mistake: When Clinch and his gang start to chase Albert, from his house, many of the sheep start running and moving out of the way, even kicking up dust. When the camera angle changes, none of the sheep are moving and there's no kicked up dust.
