Goofs:

Continuity: At the beginning of the movie, immediately after the bad guy shoots the sheriff and the deputy, as he turns, the cocking lever of the Winchester is fully down (probably a jammed blank didn't eject). There's a cutaway and then while the bad guy is still walking away, we clearly see the rifle with the cocking lever is now fully retracted.

Quotes:

Everett Hitch: Life has a way of making the foreseeable that which never happens... and the unforeseeable that which your life becomes.

Good Western

We just got back from seeing this movie at the theater. I've loved westerns my entire life. As do my husband, dad and father-in-law. This was a good solid western that I would recommend to anyone. There haven't been that many really good ones in the the last 20 years and this movie was refreshing. Nuance is word. It is what all the actors and actresses in this movie lent to their roles. This is a movie for the true fan of the western genre. And, it has Viggo in it. Need I say more? My husband is partial to Clint Eastwood's westerns. In the list of great westerns of all time, he said he would rank Appaloosa in the top 10 percent.
