Directed by: Rowdy Herrington
Starring: Sam Elliott, Patrick Swayze, Kelly Lynch, Ben Gazzara
Continuity mistake: This mistake occurs when Dalton shakes Emmet's hand while outside the horse barn. When they first meet he is working, wearing gloves. After they make intros and shake hands, he is not wearing gloves. In the immediate scene after, he is shown picking up hay and the gloves are back on. (00:20:50)
Red Webster: Don't ever marry an ugly woman. Just sucks the life right out of you.
Trivia: When Wade Garrett (Sam Elliot) first shows up at the Double Deuce, there is a fight out back by the delivery truck. Morgan (Terry Funk) says 'none of your business, Dad' to Wade. Terry Funk is two months older than Sam Elliot in real life.
Answer: As we see throughout the film, Dalton is not confrontational, and always takes the path of least violence. He wouldn't confront them, he would wait for them to attack him.
