Whilst browsing through YouTube, I discovered a heap of short film westerns, ranging in duration from a few minutes to circa 30 or so minutes, but not full feature film length. They surprisingly often exhibit good production values, and occasionally, feature well known celebrity actors. The Ballad of Buster Scrugs (Bar room scene) is just one of many such short films
Tough to get a dead man to cock the hammer for the second and third time, but it was a very good scene. Chalk it up to gun slinger reflex and artistic license.
It is Hollywood after all (Cohen Brothers production), and never let facts get in the way of a good story!
Obviously the handgun was defective and the manufacturer should be sued, now if the dead individual was a Republican, well then all is well with the world. S/O
