Notes
Goofs:
Continuity: When Mav sits down at the table at the beginning of the movie, Annabelle's hand is on her cheek when the camera is on her but in her lap when the camera is on Maverick. (more)

Trivia:
After Bret Maverick escapes from his botched hanging, he is shown plodding through the desert, dragging a tree limb behind him as the sand swirls around him. This mirrors a situation from Mad Max 2 (1981), when The Gyro Captain is chained to a log by Max, also played by Mel Gibson, and forced to find his way out of the desert. (more)
