OK, I watched this movie and I will agree that it was quite good. But there was one part that was one of the movie that was simply absurd.

(mild spoiler alert)

I am talking about the old guy on the wagon working for Pinkerton that gets shot in the gut. Then gets dragged into town and the town vet pulls the bullet out. Voila! He is healed. Gets right up, joins the posse and is as good as new for the rest of the movie. Sure....

Another silly scene was the dynamite blowing up 30 feet or so from the guys escaping the angry railroad workers. The blast is big enough to cave in a huge rock tunnel, but doesn't do any damage to the riders on horses that close to the blast. Yeah right.

Good story and nice morality play, but they could have left out the silly cartoon-grade stuff. The script could have used more polish.
