I couldn't get past the opening of this movie. I understand that most Westerns, except Hondo, have their ridiculous parts. Guns being shot out of the hands of the bad guys by someone shooting from the hip is especially annoying. This movie took the Gold however in the first few minutes when a rider on horseback threw knives at the occupants of the locomotive's cab, killing them. At that point I said we are done here. I am almost positive that the knives were shown striking them in the front even though the rider was approaching from the rear. I find that when things start out bad in a movie that they don't usually get better.
