Trivia

In keeping with his English character, Sheriff John Langston (John Cleese) of Turley is armed with an English Enfield Mark II double action revolver. Although correct for the time period of the movie, Silverado (1985) apparently marks the only ever appearance of this weapon in an American western film. See more »

Goofs

In the final conflict scene when Jake is riding bareback on his Pinto into town to confront his nemesis, his reins are tied in a knot. When he arrives at the hitching post in town, however, the reins are draped loosely over the Pinto's back. See more »

Rip roaring, hard riding, gun twirling Western
21 July 2000 | by (Toronto, Canada) – See all my reviews

Westerns are hard to come by these days so make the most of this; it's a good one. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a spoof but it certainly doesn't take itself too seriously,best not to worry about trying to follow the plot just go along with the roller coaster ride. There's lots of hard riding, fancy shooting and athleticism by our worthy heroes as they face off with the usually overweight and constantly smiling villains who don't quite twirl their moustaches but come close. The heroine is rather insipid but this is an action picture and the romance doesn't get in the way too much. It all goes on a little too long but there's lots of fun to be had along the way.
