Trivia
When Poteet (Dennis Weaver) asks one of the recruits (Gompert) "I know you?", as if he recognizes him somehow, he is actually saying this line to his real life son Robert Weaver.

Goofs
Poteet gives Nacho plans for the wagon to be built, which should take days, if not weeks to build, however it can be seen finished later in the day as they assemble the team for the drive.
