Surreal from beginning to the end pretty much sums up the whole movie. Then again, that doesn't explain the fact that this is a western, a cowboys and indians movie, a comedy of sorts, looks at what's behind the tough curtains in the old west, etc. What makes it quirky is some of the best dead-pan deliveries of the non-sense dialog. There is also the undercurrent that examines, in its own way, the actual reality of the wild west. Perhaps, all the bigger than life famous western gun-slingers were just lucky to like our hero in this movie. They were just there at the right place at the right time and came out winners. I was kind of disappointed that they killed off the good looking Thel Russell quite early on in the plot. This is one of those movies where you have to be in the right frame of mind, in the correct mood, to enjoy it. Once you lock onto its grooves, you enjoy the ride. My Rating: 7.0
