Stick with the Original

It was ridiculous, illogical, implausible, a mindless action film on par for today's audience. I did give it a 7/10 on imdb for effort 6/10 for execution and that was a bit generous.

A gang attacking from behind a Gatling gun defended stagecoach, which field of fire is only from behind. That was just briliant, Next that same Gattling gun can't hit the broad side of a barn, another brilliant touch to dovetail with the first absurdity, that whole sequence is only included for the mindless action it provides. I have nothing against action but I like smart action.

The Pinkerton gut shot at point blank range bullet @ 900 + or - ft/sec where the bullet should go clean on through, has said bullet revoved as if it was a splinter and then recovers enough to ride a horse, ridiculous.

The fact that they didn't handcuff a dangerous man from behind, ok if the guy is peacfull let it slide (like in the original version) but to not do so (even after he killed one of their members) is absurd, the whole Apache attack at night, the dead eye sharpshooter at the coach robbery who can't hit the the broadside of a barn in the town inconsistent.

The sequence in Contention where the posse with the advantage of height doesn't just blow the "Wanted Dead Or Alive" gang out of the saddle before Prince opens up his mouth, is stupid. Compound that with when they do let him speak he offers the townfolk $200 dollars and they fall all over themselves to become accomplices to murder is also brilliantly stupid.

A great Western should hit on all cylinders, this one doesn't.
