Both Paul Carr and John Dehner appeared several times on The Virginian (1962), however they never appeared together. Claude Akins also appeared twice but never with either Carr or Dehner.
Although nearly every character such as the bus passengers and the gun thugs have speaking roles, only Paul Carr and John Dehner were credited.
Sonny's plan of everyone rushing the gun thugs would be used almost 26 years later on September 11, 2001 on flight 93 over Pennsylvania when the unarmed passengers attacked the armed hijackers.
