I saw the movie the second time with my brother. At the begining when the actor who plays Crockett in the play is going over his lines he says something to the effect of " I'm a screamer, I can whoop a mountain lion, ride a lightning bolt and jump the Mississippi". I didn't catch it the first time but I did the second and seeing as Crockett saw the play and knew people saw him as the man in the play he used that line. Great movie though.
