Artistic Licence – History: Unlike what is portrayed in this film, Bat Masterson was already sheriff of Ford County before his brother Ed, the town marshal of Dodge City, was murdered. He was also never part-owner of the Lady Gay Saloon: that was his brother Jim. | |

Blasting It Out of Their Hands | |
| The Gunfight at Dodge City / int_4cbc7f95 | comment |
Blasting It Out of Their Hands: When Bat goes to stop the cowboys from Firing in the Air a Lot, one of them draws on him. Bat shoots him in the arm—forcing him to drop his gun—and then warns the other cowboys that he still has five bullets left and that his aim might get worse the more he has to shoot. They back down. | |
