Re-titled 'Buffalo Stampede' by Favorite Films for its 1950 re-release, this title was often shown in tandem with the re-release of Born to the West (1937), re-titled "Hell Town".
A remake of The Thundering Herd (1925) starring Jack Holt.
Both Noah Beery. and Raymond Hatton appeared in that film. Scenes from it were used
in this version and required Randolph Scott to have a pencil-thin mustache to match Holt.
All scenes involving buffalo, and the Native-American attack on the wagons, as well as a considerable amount of other footage, were lifted from The Thundering Herd (1925) ), and when reprinted and projected at the faster sound speed, do not match up well with the freshly filmed footage.
The scenes of the buffalo herds were filmed in Yellowstone National Park.
