* FranchiseKiller: There had been plans for a third film featuring the character Rooster Cogburn, to be entitled ''Someday'', but it was canceled when this movie proved to be only a moderate hit at the box office. In addition Paramount Pictures cited Creator/JohnWayne's age as too old to carry a successful movie, and waning audience interest in westerns. There would be a made-for-TV sequel featuring Warren Oates as Cogburn years later, but without any direct connection to this film or its predecessor.

** Creator/KatharineHepburn was bemused by Wayne's tendency to argue with everybody, especially the director, during filming. At the party to celebrate the last day of filming she told him, "I'm glad I didn't know you when you had two lungs, you must have been a real bastard. Losing a hip has mellowed me, but you!"
