==Trivia==
=Trivia=
John Taffin mentions in one of his books ("big bore handguns" or "big bore sixguns") that the Ruger used in the movie was customized by gunsmith Andy Horvath. It seems that someone from the movie's crew read an article by Taffin about his own Ruger, built by Horvath. The producers tried to Borrow Taffin's revolver but he declined and suggested them to contact Horvath. The gunsmith then built several revolvers for the movie and (reportedly) for Don Johnson and Mickey Rourke personal use. It is doubtful that the revolvers used in the movie were actually converted to .454 Casull.
