Trivia
Stock shots involving stampedes, raids, and lots of horses and extras are used in several sequences - are quite obvious and not well integrated into the film.

Goofs
At the beginning, when the Indians are raiding the campsite and one Indian drinks what must be whiskey from what is supposed to be a skin container hanging from a wooden frame by the fire, the container dimples in on one side exactly the way a plastic jug would when squeezed, It's clearly a plastic jug.

Crazy credits
Traditionally, when an actor has a dual role, he is billed as playing both, but in this case, Paul Picerni is billed twice: Under his normal name as Carney and as "H.P. Picerni" for Arturo. (His full given name is Horace Paul Picerni.)

Connections
Edited from Le fort de la dernière chance (1957)

Great scenery and photography

The best thing about "Land Raiders" is Spain standing in for Arizona and some good photography of impressive scenery. The plot isn't too bad, though I agree with those who have remarked on the dissimilarity between the brothers Pablo and Vicente.

There were a couple of scenes that made me scoff: Kate's elegant dress on a three-week wagon-train journey, and Kate and Pablo's rapid arrival back in town looking remarkably clean after jumping out of a wagon and a long, hot walk. And there was the common feature of so many Westerns, firearms that appeared not to need re-loading.

Still, entertaining enough, and after a little hesitation I gave it seven points.
