It's amazing some users found this movie so great. Some even said it portrays reality. Well let's see. The hero's horse rears up just about every time he mounts up. He can shoot bottles thrown into the air while blindfolded. There is a former black slave who can't quote Shakespeare. A "wild" horse simply stands around waiting to be caught and they is mounted and doesn't buck once and becomes fully trained in a matter of minutes. Everyone's clothes always look like they just came from the laundry. The hero can "see" things with super-human powers. And he just happens to run across General Custer, Buffalo Bill Code, Sitting Bull, Wyatt Erp, and even Henry Ford in the same movie. Oh, Annie Oakley's mother was there too. When revolvers are fired, they don't kick and when shot in a closed room, no one is affected a bit by the load noise. There is a photographer running around taking pictures, who just happens to be stereotypically Asian. There is actually a "snake oil" salesman who has a sign saying, Snake Oil, on the side of his wagon. And last but not least, the ex-slave can throw a bolo (a four foot rope made of heavy rawhide with a large bag of rocks tied to each end) and catch a rabbit with it. Pretty realistic stuff right? I could go on with more, but you get the idea.
The movie is pretty tame for kids but so poorly done it affords only comedy for any thinking adult.
