A Great Farcical Excursion into Our Past
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
This movie gave me a belly ache the first two or three times I saw it -- from laughing so hard!
It's about the cavalry and old West, but has many elements of the 1960s and 1970s mixed in, not the least of which is a Mariachi singer and his group entertaining in the saloon (I thought it sounded more like Rock than Mariachi.) The story has several interesting twists and includes dialog that seems to be going surely toward expletives and ends up being much more tame. Slim Pickens expresses his disappointment by a pointed, "Ah, Shi--oot!"
I've owned a VHS tape of this for years, but it degraded and became nearly unusable. I was delighted to find and purchase the DVD version, which brought back the audio and video detail nearly equal to my first experience with the movie on the big screen.
While some scenes seem almost contrived; overall, this is a movie worth watching at least once -- or twice -- or, I can't count the times I've seen it. I hope you'll like it at least as well as I did the third time, many years ago.
