The Ending Wrecked it.

Warning: Spoilers
I liked the film until the end. Too bad William Smith's character was the first of the killers offed. He's a very intense actor and could have added much more to the film. Neville Brand's character lost his hand and had a 10 lb. section of railroad rail permanently attached. This was very dumb. How could he get his shirt on? How could he sleep? How could he....never mind; etc...Rod Taylor was great as the hateful head villain. The way Harris tolerated the dumb Mexican Federale ruined the film.All of the characters except the dumb Mexican Federale were very well played out. The film would have been excellent if this fat, dumb character was eliminated. Harris seemed like a brave, independent, determined man; yet he let this pudgy pauncho push him around. Also, the part where Harris went temporarily blind was incredibly stupid. In another part, Harris was actually hung....and lived! With no ill effects whatsoever! Not even a sore neck! How stupid. The ending was an insult ....just dumb - took the wind out of the sails.
