Quotes

add »
Adam: (to Ruth) Ummm...my education, aah...just interfered with my thinking for a minute. (edit)
Ben: You and your education.
Adam: Education is part of this. Now what have you got against it?
Ben: I don't have anything against education - as long as it doesn't interfere with your thinking. (edit)

Trivia

add »
When Adam is shot by the arrow, it is clearly seen stuck in his leg. But after he falls off the rock, and he is rolling around on the ground, it is gone. When he crawls after the lady, the arrow is back again! I don't think that Adam would have had time to pull the arrow out while he fell, and then put it back in again, so this is obviously a blooper. (edit)
In the scene where Adam finds the bodies of the fur trappers...when Adam gets off his horse you can see a dirt patch on his right leg before he kneels down on it to investigate one of the dead bodies. Obviously not the first take of the scene. (edit)
