Trivia

Director John Landis has said of the singing turtle: "That singing turtle was my idea. It's a desert setting, so we needed lots of animals. The animals were on-set with handlers and wires, so they didn't run, but I remember the coyote was the most difficult." See more »

Goofs

When Jefe is shot, the stunt man who falls from his horse drops his pistol as his hands hit the ground. When Jefe rolls back onto his feet (in the next shot), he's holding his pistol as if he never dropped it. See more »

Extremely Underrated
29 July 2003 | by – See all my reviews

This is an homage to many old comedies: Old jokes, Silent movie

plot lines. It's like a Laurel and Hardy film that was never made.

The movie is the joke. Much like Blazing Saddles or Young

Frankenstein. I don't know why more people don't get the joke and

rate this movie higher. As it is, it is definitely underrated.
