TRIVIA (2)
ADD TRIVIA
- Continuity: When Jack announces the stranger at the end of the episode, Tom and Bret are standing close together and Bret unclasps his hands and stands up rather than lean on the bar. Tom moves his arms out from his side. In the next overhead shot, Bret is leaning against the bar and clasping his hands, while Tom has his hands on his hips and is a bit further away from Bret. In the next closer shot, Bret and Tom are standing together much closer and Bret isn't leaning on the bar.
  EDIT SHARE
- It's mentioned that Bret Maverick's old "Pappy" lived to be 93 years old.
