Listen, I’m not gonna fault a film for not shooting on location. Hell, the entire Spaghetti Western genre was shot in Spain. It’s just funny that we’re going to say we’re shooting in Mexico and then shoot it in (surprisingly) rolling green hills of Southern California. No small Mexican town looks like they are nestled in areas like that. But that’s not the point. The point is that they practically built these real towns and forts. We got fun stunts with actual horses and a plethora of extras. Even the lot stuff - the bar, the hideout - all look so damn good. Sure, the “Blue Shadow” scene is very clearly on set, but that cougar, coyote, and owl aren’t! I’m happy they used to do shit like this and actually blow it up, even if it wasn’t on the actual location.
