Least Authentic Film Westerns

[BoyScoutKevin]

I think this is a fun list. Again chosen by the editors of "True West" magazine. From the least, relatively speaking, to the most inauthentic westerns of all time.

1967 The Way West
1946 Duel in the Sun
1976 The Last Hard Men
1967 White Comanche
1970 Dirty Dingus Magee
1973 The Deadly Trackers
1972 The Revengers
1999 The Wild, Wild West
1981 Legend of the Lone Ranger
2000 South of Heaven

And, if I was going to add one to this list, it would be "Hooded Angels" aka "Glory, Glory" I couldn't find anything authentic in that film. Neither the costumes nor the language nor the sets nor the violence in the film.

What happened to "Blazing Saddles"?

What about all those Gene Autry or Roy Rogers b-westerns that found excuses for them to sing or go do a radio show out on the ranch? Or the western/sci-fi oater serial "The Phantom Empire"?

Or the use of machine guns made after the Mexican Revolution like the MG 34 in "Duck You Sucker"?

Where's "Triumphs of a Man Called Horse", "The Master Gunfighter" or "Hannie Caulder"? There are probably lots of Spaghetti Westerns that could qualify as well, "Deaf Smith and Johnny Ears", for example.

"South of Heaven, West of Hell" is so bad and dull, that watching for anachronisms and inauthentic stuff might be the only way to make it through without the fast forward button.

Where's Dances With Wolves, about how the tolerant, peace-loving natives were slaughtered by the blood-thirsty white men?

Well, I can vouch for these Westerns being very poor entries.

DUEL IN THE SUN
WILD WILD WEST (90's version)
WEST OF HEAVEN AND EAST OF HELL

As far as Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, and the rest of them early western serials and movies  they are aging to perfection.
