When I was a child, I knew that if my father was to blindly watch a film, his default go-to option of the genre was always the Spaghetti Western. He always said they are the easiest not to take seriously, and the easiest to forget. Because I was a child back then, I did not understand. I watched anime works by World Masterpiece Theatre and occasionally, Walt Disney cartoons. I did not want to forget those and I want (even now) to take them seriously. But now, it is very difficult to find a film that does not penetrate deep into one's life. It becomes harder to staunchly believe that whatever you see on TV or theater is factually inaccurate. They seem devilishly plausible.

Factual error: When the "U.S." soldiers open fire on the Mexican cavalry, they employ a machine gun. The only two rapid-firing weapons in that time period were the Gatling gun, which used a magazine or drum of rounds and was fired by turning a crank, or the "Mitrailleuse" volley gun, which required at least two men to operate it, one to load the ammunition blocks, and the other to turn, once again, a crank to fire the weapon. The gun pictured has a single operator and neither a crank, nor any visible cartridge feed.

Joe: When a man with .45 meets a man with a rifle, you said, the man with a pistol's a dead man. Let's see if that's true. Go ahead, load up and shoot.
