Review: This movie was more entertaining to watch than the previous one and also had a better storyline. It was interesting to see an early difference between a French film (Le Voyage Dans La Lune) and this film, which was made in the U.S. The picture were clearer, it may also have to do with the country of production but this film was categorized as a Western, however I think now it could be considered a comedy, while the French film was Sci-fi. The final scene where the gunman points the gun directly at the screen is an interesting concept for a film, because it gives the film a, "you're next" feel.
