Storyteller: Colt 45, single shot.You had to cock it every time you shot. It was called a peacemaker, but I haven't seen much peace that it brought.No, you guys today have that full automatic. Pull the trigger and spray. History's a funny thing. They said Columbus discovered America and the Indians were already here. That's like me telling you that I discovered your car.

An awful film; badly written, badly acted, cliched, hackneyed, dross. The premise is such a good one and a chance to educate about black cowboys but the film is truly dire. It is a curious mix of a bad 1950's Randolph Scott B movie and a bad 1970's spaghetti western. The villains are cardboard, the flashbacks laughable, the dialogue excruciating.
The deliberate anachronisms (such as 'Victorian' rap singers and modern swear words like "motherf****er"), are irritating to the extreme.
