This is one of my favorite movies. Saw it the other night. The clincher is when Bruce Dern's character has his leg broken and is trapped under his horse and hung up in the saddle, begging for his life. They get the horse to his feet, shoot a pistol in the air which send the horse galloping with Dern screaming in agony. Couldn't happen to a more deserving person; after all, he DID kill John Wayne! It's a great movie.
