Warning: Spoilers
The film is a spoof of other Westerns. The plot is immaterial and one should watch it for the individual scenes. Possible Plot spoilers. We see Johnny Black wearing Billy Jack's hat as he reenacts the famous park scene where he fights multiple people with his feet. He was the pocket watch from "Only a Few Dollars More" except it doesn't play music. Being shot down by hanging was done in too many films to mention. One of his crimes was eyeing white women, reminding me of something from "Blazing Saddles" as well as the town destruction fight in the end. The soundtrack even made me laugh as he rides through the desert hopping up and down to 1970's music like a Fred Williamson film. The Wedding scene was perhaps from Little Big Man or maybe Squaw Man. The tear rolling down the face is from a famous "Crying Indian" ad. And the jail escape scene is none other than a redo of a famous Trinty bar scene.

If you haven't seen these films you will be watching the film on a different level and may not enjoy it half as much as I did. I did laugh out loud at the two sisters confronting Johnny. Erica Ash's overreaction was funny. I know more scenes were spoofed that I missed such as the horse death scene.

Guide: No swearing or nudity.
