      • Trivia
        The opening credits and subsequent transition shots are of the Durango Silverton narrow gauge railroad. It is very obviously B-roll from the opening and closing titles of Support Your Local Gunfighter (1971), which UA released the previous year, though cropped to 2.35:1.
      • Goofs
        When Tom first tries shooting a gun (inside the cabin), the gun alternates from being in his right hand (in frontal shots) to being his left hand (in back shots).
      • Quotes

        Holy Joe: [reading the Englishman's last letter] I don't know whether I'll find rich green grass or tough weeds up there. But, if there's rich grass, praise be to God! If there's nothing but weeds... praise be to God. The only thing I'll miss is your friendship. For the rest, I have no regrets.

      • Alternate versions

        • After about 57 minutes of the movie, where Tom is in the bath and 3 other guys goofing around and then Morton comes to apologize about the thing that happened in saloon and Austin trying to buy the land where they are, is cut.

      aka Man from the East

      Pretty good Terrence Hill movie. I watched it on the Starz premium network; but there, it is titled "Man from the East"; and the dialog is all in English. I could not find that title on IMDB so I matched the DVD cover art to this movie.
