Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWillie Nelson was 53 when the movie was released. The real Doc Holliday died when he was just 36.
- GoofsEarly in the trip the coach driver and the sheriff take turns with the reins long enough for each to remove his coat. The sun is getting brighter and the idea is conveyed that it is getting warmer. Then, there is a scene, maybe when they pick up Ringo, when their coats are on their bodies again. However, immediately after that their coats are once more off.
- Quotes
Buck: Curly, I got me two rifles right underneath that seating area.
Marshal Curly Wilcox: You always keep two rifles under the seat?
Buck: Yes, sir. My wife cleans them and loads them for me. Now, a lot of men get fried chicken.
Marshal Curly Wilcox: You got a good wife.
Buck: Yeah, I know it. She used to ride shotgun for me. Then she said it got, uh, got too hard on her ovaries.
Marshal Curly Wilcox: [pauses] What's an ovary?
Buck: Well, near as I can tell, it's uh, you know, part of her machinery.
Marshal Curly Wilcox: Oh.

Performed by Willie Nelson
As you can see the doctor on the trip is the famous true life Doc Holiday instead of the inebriated former Union Army surgeon that Thomas Mitchell won an Oscar playing in the first version. There are other plot changes as well.
However without the showdown of Ringo Kid with Luke Plummer and the Apache attack on the moving coach this would not be Stagecoach and rest assured it is most definitely included. They are staged well if different from the 1939 and 1966 versions.
Others in the cast are John Schneider as the driver and he's not the comic figure that Andy Devine was. Anthony Newley is the whiskey salesman and Anthony Franciosa is the banker Gatewood who makes a very sudden decision to travel just as in the original.
The women are Elizabeth Ashley as Dallas the saloon girl and Mary Crosby plays the pregnant army captain's wife Mrs. Mallory. Her father Bing Crosby was Doc Boone in the 1966 remake.
The quartet of legends makes this one really work.
