get real

This is a gritty and well directed film. Unfortunately, the entire premises strains belief. We are supposed to believe that one man rides into a town and kills people and burns it to the ground while everybody just sits around and watches. In the real world this guy (Aldo Ray) would have been shot down about five minutes after he walked into the saloon. In 19th century America, everyone was armed and would have taken any action needed to protect their lives and property. I thought it was a silly movie when I saw it as a child and it remains silly today.

Trivia

Goofs
When Zar comes riding back and tells Blue that he cannot get a horse up the trail to the gold mine, let alone a wagon, Blue tells him he can take the wagon up a trail 2 days ride from Hard Times. A minute later, the miners come down the trail Zar just rode in on and, at the rear of the bunch of miners on horseback, is a wagon full of miners that just came down the trail that Zar said he could not get a wagon over.

Quotes
Zar, Whiskey & Girls: Ghost towns always have names full of promise. You better not let that happen when they name our town.
Mayor Will Blue: We'll call it what we always called it - Hard Times.
