How Many Men did They Kill....


....with those rifles. They killed two at the start, then a whole bunch in the river, then one gets stabbed, then another few in the town. Then they kill each other. They would have had to start with about thirty guys to keep that up, but there didn't seem to be more than a dozen at the beginning.

I believe one of Brandts friends stated early on that there was more than 30 of them and that they couldn't possibly face them.

I think the OP was correct, and in fact that was one of the things I could not help noticing while watching the film. Frank was first seen riding with a dozen people or so. Thus based on the number of his team seen being shot or killed, there should have been almost no one left after the second fight. Yet somehow he seemed to have "replacements" so that until the end, he always had some ten people riding with him. Either that or the dead had come back as zombies.

22 + Calder, that's from his gang. I counted that much when I watched the movie for the second time. 3 are shot at the start (one dies later, Stringer), 7 in the water, one is stabbed, then Doc dies, 6 in the Mexican town and 4 at the river.
