During the shoot-out at the Red Crown Tourist Court near Platte City, Missouri, the movie depicts the Barrow Gang gunning down several police officers and blowing up an armored car before making their escape. In reality, it was a short gunfight that ended when a bullet knocked out the armored car's bullhorn. The ceasing of the irritating bullhorn requests to surrender was a prearranged signal for law enforcement to hold fire and stand down to avoid civilian casualties. The Barrows drove away unmolested. No law officers were killed, and the only casualties were Buck, who received his grievous head wound, and Blanche, who took glass shards in her left eye.
