Goofs
In Mexico, Buck gets shot with the 7th shot from Garland's 6-shooter. (Note: the film as shown on TCM April 10, 2021 had Garland firing just 6 times - once to get Buck's attention as Buck walked toward the bus, twice while running through the bus, once after departing the bus chasing Buck, once into the air while the two were struggling, and then the 6th shot which was the final one.)

Quotes
[Lily is on her first tour with Buck's band]
Bo: Who all in here has got a college education?
Lily Ramsey: I do.
Bo: You do? Well, run in the back there and get me a beer, would you? I'd hate to see your education go to waste.

Crazy credits
The end credits play over the final scene.

A country music treat

Although I am not a country music fan,usually, I do like Willie. And this film is a fine vehicle for him. I personally would have cast someone else in the role of his wife. Don't get me wrong, Diane Cannon is a fine actress, but I just can't picture it, Willie Nelson and Diane Cannon married? Nah.
