According to Roger Ebert's Stanton-Walsh Rule, "no movie featuring either Harry Dean Stanton or M. Emmet Walsh in a supporting role can be altogether bad." Ebert later conceded that this rule was broken by 1999's Wild Wild West (Walsh) and Dream a Little Dream (Stanton).

Walsh died from cardiac arrest in St. Albans, Vermont, on March 19, 2024, at the age of 88, just three days before his 89th birthday.[3][4]
