As Jason mentioned, this movie failed to include some minority groups, such as Asians and African Americans. The minority groups that were shown, Mexicans, and Native Americans, were portrayed in stereotypical and racist ways, with the Mexicans all wearing sombreros, and serapes, and the Native Americans as poor people who get drunk easily, and do crazy things while drunk. ~Katherine Stinson~ | As Jason mentioned, this movie failed to include some minority groups, such as Asians and African Americans.

| + | I found the surgery scene to be misleading for a few reasons. First off Doc was walking around like a surgeon on "ER" who just scrubbed up, when cleanliness was not typically a recognized necessity. Also Doc became a surgeon in the movie when he was actually a dentist. Unless Chihuahua was shot in the mouth I don't see how he could have been a whole lot of help. Lastly, Chihuahua on her death bed looked better than she did in the rest of the film, not exactly a historical inaccuracy but bothersome nonetheless. -Bryan Mull | ||
