Trivia

"Victoria" Cannon

A Napoleonic-style smoothbore field cannon with the personal name "Victoria" (Victory), gold-plated with silver-decorated wheels, is a plot item. This symbol of Mexican victory over France during the French expedition of 1861-1867 is stolen by Vince Hackett's gang. In several scenes, they use the cannon to shoot dynamite sticks (a feat impossible in reality, as the instability of dynamite in combination with the sudden acceleration of the shell would set off the explosive in the barrel of the weapon; real "dynamite guns" use compressed air for shooting).
