This is one of those films I have heard referenced and parodied so many times that I had to see it for myself.
While it was certainly a great western, in many ways it was not a typical western, as the hero doesn't come riding in with guns ablazing, nor his he impervious to pain. It's much more of a realistic fighter, as well as the somewhat reluctant hero.
As great as this film is, I was slightly disappointed, as I had heard Bill Hicks describe a scene with a bully telling an unarmed man to pick up a gun so the bully could shoot him. I cannot figure out if that scene was edited out of the version of the film I watched, or was just how Bill Hicks imagined the gunslinger would act or if that scene belongs to another film.
