Trivia / Hot Lead and Cold Feet

• What Could Have Been: Originally written in the early seventies as a low-budget western vehicle for Audie Murphy and his friend, character actor Michael Dante. They would have played the Eli and Wild Billy analogues, respectively, in this version, which did not have an Uncanny Family Resemblance angle, and may not have had the pacifist and the hellion as relatives. This version fell through due to Murphy's untimely death in a plane crash, and the script was sold to Disney.
