- TriviaIn a 2023 interview with Polygon, Michael Jai White addressed one of the running jokes of the movie, regarding the casting: "Well, it's about authenticity, isn't it? So being authentic to '70s moviemaking is, 'Well, how did they cast Native Americans?' This is a parody, making a joke of things, and making statements. If you notice that there might be someone who may not be Native American playing a Native American role, [it's] authentic to that time period. But we had plenty of real Native Americans in the movie, even during the same shot, who might be staring daggers at this Anglo playing Native American. [laughs] Because if I cast a Native American in that role, it would be inauthentic."
- GoofsThe quote the Reverend Percy claims is John 2:11 bears no resemblance to John 2:11. This is probably, intentional, however, since he is apparently not a bona fide pastor.
- Quotes
Bessie Lee: [Seeing shirtless Johnny] Holy-lujah! Umm... I brought you something for you to put in your mouth this morning. Everybody loves my hot buns. So I thought I'd come over here and give you some. Figured it's been a long time since you had any... I uh, I covered them up, to keep them hot, steamy, firm, moist. Just the way a man likes. I've also got warm honey and warm cream, you can pour on, lick off, drench and splatter all over everything. If you like. Believe me, I don't mind...
Outlaw Johnny Black: [Getting on his knees] I hope you don't mind, I just feel obliged to bless the food, something's just come over me.
Bessie Lee: Ooh. Just come over me too. Let me set these buns down and I'll get right down on my knees...
Outlaw Johnny Black: No no no Bessie, you just stay on up, and you just go on and start without me.
Bessie Lee: You don't know my appetite. I'll have that whole thing down my throat, cream and all before you can even...
Outlaw Johnny Black: Bessie Bessie Bessie, could you just start without me and, and stop talking?

Writers Byron Minns and Michael Jai White put together a rather enjoyable and entertaining script and storyline. It is a script that combines both good storytelling, action, comedy, and good old fashioned Western. And I have to admit that I was more than genuinely entertained throughout the course of the 130 minutes that the movie ran for.
The acting performances in "Outlaw Johnny Black" were good, and Michael Jai White definitely carried the movie quite nicely. It was a good cast ensemble, with the likes of Barry Bostwick, Chris Browning and Randy Couture as the only familiar faces for me. But I will say that the likes of Anika Noni Rose, Erica Ash and Byron Minns also were great in the movie.
"Outlaw Johnny Black" looked and felt like a Western, and the added light action and comedy elements were sprucing up the movie quite nicely, making it all the more of an enjoyable movie to sit through.
My rating of "Outlaw Johnny Black" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
