Interestingly, the title of this movie promotes a common misconception that was proved untrue in 1986. Two almost identical tintypes of Billy the Kid were taken at the same time in 1880. The original of one tintype disappeared years ago. The second original tintype was preserved for years in the Sam Diedrick family and came to light only in 1986. Since tintypes are reversed images, the picture from the first tintype led to the myth of the left-handed gun. After the second tintype came to light, the reversed image was reversed to show the Kid as he actually posed, with a Winchester carbine in the left hand and his holstered Colt single-action on his right hip. See Utley, Robert M., Billy the Kid, A Short and Violent Life, University of Nebraska Press, 1989. Statement following page 110 alongside the picture of Billy the Kid.

At the 2007 Power Morphicon, actor
Austin St. John

Jason David Frank
), wrap the chains around Tommys neck and flip him over his shoulders to the ground. Jason would then use the chains to wrap around Tommys throat and try to strangle him until Tommy breaks free. Co-director
Shuki Levy
ultimately talked the actor out of putting the idea in the movie, feeling the sequence was too dark for a childrens film and would make Jason seem too evil to his fans if he tried to murder his old friend Tommy.
