Production
editA late entry in Columbia's long-running Durango Kid Western series, Cyclone Fury has perhaps the greatest scripting challenge of the series (achieved by writer Barry Shipman). In an effort to save money on production costs and shoot less film in fewer days, Columbia Pictures asked Shipman to economize on his script. Shipman took sequences from four older Durango Kid pictures, plus elements from an old scenario by Ed Earl Repp, and combined them into a new storyline, with Starrett, Smiley Burnette, and villain Clayton Moore appearing in new scenes.
