About Realism (Spoilers)
When the Young Guns movies were made in the late 1980's, some Hollywood type was running about saying Hollywood was making more historically accurate movies than just a decade or two earlier (running down John Wayne). The Albuquerque Journal matched up the two Young Gun movies and Chisum for historical accuracy. The result was that the cattle stampede-fight to the death at the end of the movie was running off the tracks, but everything before that was historically accurate. The Young gun movies, on the other hand, were about 85 percent fiction.
