1. There is always a side-kick who is either fat or has a limp.

2. There is always a pretty, middle-aged woman in town called "The Widow Johnson."

3. Anyone can be a deputy if they raise their right hand and say, "I solemnly swear to uphold the laws of the state of Texas."

4. There are only 5 towns in the entire country: "Laredo," "Carson City," "Tombstone," "El Paso," and "Dodge."

5. There is someone in the movie named after a state. "Montana," or "Colorado" or something.

6. All towns have the following buildings: saloon, hotel, whorehouse, sheriff's office, dry-goods store, undertaker, and barber shop.

7. No one ever works. They just hang around in one of the buildings listed above in #6.

8. There is always a band of outlaws in town that the sheriff cannot bring to justice. (Only John Wayne or Clint Eastwood is willing to stand up to them).

9. Strother Martin is in the cast.

10. People have one of the following last names: Anderson, Kincaid, McCoy, Johnson, or Tucker. No other last names are allowed.

11. Every town has at least one Mexican citizen and one Indian (NOT referred to as Native Americans . . . in those days they were called Indians).

12. All gamblers carry Derringers in their socks.

13. There are dozens of horses everywhere . . . but no flies or horse manure.

14. All saloons have a piano player. At some point in the movie, he will have to duck and a bullet will hit his piano.

15. Everyone's diet consists of beef jerky, beans, coffee, and apple pie.

"Matthew, Mark, luke....and duck."
"Mongo only pawn..in game of life".
"Are you the Waco kid?" -- "I'm not sure...are we black?"
"Mongo like candy!"
I'm sorry, but that list got me started down memory lane....

Barkeeps gotta wear those caps with the green visors in the saloons.
Saloon houses the "prettiest stripper girl this side of the Mississippi"
"Thwok" sound with every punch (predecessor to kung fu thwok!)

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
