Deborah Hopper: Costume designer/wardrobe: women.Scenes of a more established Gold Rush town (in which Eastwood's character picks up his pistol at a Wells Fargo office) were filmed in the real Gold Rush town of Columbia, also in Tuolumne County. Train-station scenes were filmed in Tuolumne County, California, near Jamestown. The opening credits scene featured the jagged Sawtooth Mountains south of Stanley. Pale Rider was primarily filmed in the Boulder Mountains and the Sawtooth National Recreation Area in central Idaho, just north of Sun Valley in late 1984. Megan arrives and, seeing Preacher riding away, shouts her love and thanks to him. Preacher nods at Hull and rides off toward the snow-capped mountains. LaHood, watching from his office, aims a rifle at the Preacher but is shot dead by Hull. Finally, Preacher kills Stockburn who recognizes him in disbelief before he is shot in the head. In the gunfight that follows, he kills all but the two of LaHood's men who run away, and then, one by one, all six of Stockburn's deputies. To stop Hull from following him, Preacher scares off Hull's horse and rides into town alone. The following day, Preacher and Hull blow up LaHood's mining site with dynamite. ![]() Sarah begs Preacher not to go, and tells him she will marry Hull, despite her feelings for Preacher. Stockburn and his deputies gun him down, and Stockburn sends a message that he wants Preacher to meet him in town the next morning. Spider Conway, one of the miners and Coy's former partner, discovers a large gold nugget in the dry creek bed and rides into town with his teenage sons, where he yells drunken abuse at LaHood from the street. Coy gives him a rough description of the Preacher, which startles Stockburn, because the man Coy is describing is dead. Stockburn and his deputies arrive in LaHood. Preacher arrives on horseback, disarms Joshua and shoots him through the hand. Megan rides into LaHood's camp, where Joshua shows her the blasting operation before he attempts to rape her. LaHood's men dam the creek forcing the miners to mine a dry bed. Megan angrily assumes Preacher is really in love with Sarah. Megan expresses her love for Preacher, but he gently rebuffs her. The miners ultimately reject LaHood's offer, despite Preacher warning them about Stockburn. LaHood says he plans to hire the services of a corrupt marshal named Stockburn to clear them out if they refuse. At Preacher's suggestion, LaHood then offers the miners $1,000 per claim provided they evacuate within 24 hours. Preacher, however, disables Club with a sledgehammer blow to the groin.Ĭoy returns from Sacramento, learns of the Preacher's arrival, and unsuccessfully attempts to bribe and then threaten him. Coy LaHood's son, Joshua, attempts to scare off the Preacher with a gigantic workman named Club.

Hull then invites his rescuer to dinner and, while the stranger is washing, notices what appears to be six bullet wounds in his back. When Hull heads to town to pick up supplies, four of Lahood's men beat him with axe handles before the stranger fights them off with his own axe handle. Shortly afterward, a man atop a pale horse rides into Carbon Valley. Sarah's teenaged daughter, Megan, prays for deliverance from LaHood after a gang of his men attack the mining camp and kill her dog.
