Cleese: "Now, let's talk about you chaps."
Kline: "We'd like to stay."
Cleese: "That remains to be seen."
Funniest scene in the whole movie.
I have a new philosophy. I'm only going to dread one day at a time. -

I'm sure it does, but that doesn't change the fact that on Monty Python's Flying Circus they did in fact use that exact line all of the time. Seeing as John Cleese was the one saying it in this movie and multiple times on their TV show, I think it is safe to say that it is a nod to Monty Python's.

is he a bad guy, I don't recall if he is? I did love this movie, Cleese was great, I know he was the sheriff in all, but was he a baddie at all? I'm pretty sure he was a good guy. "I don't much care for that word" lol.

This role is the sexiest John has ever looked. He's so calm and in charge and THAT BEARD!

Don't know why an Englishman as a western sheriff is any less believable than a Danish ex-Foreign Legionnaire as a federal marshal or an Irish soldier-of-fotune as a U.S. cavalry officer (real life Dalton nemesis Chris Madsen and 7th Cavalry major Myles Keogh, respectively).

Two of my ancestors went from England to fight in the American civil war and if the stories told by the family are correct One became a sheriff in Texas and as stated before there was a great influx of emigrants from Great Britain to the US of A at this period of American history.
So why do American's get so huffy about British actors playing in westerns.
I should also add there was horror of horrors a few british out laws in the west. -

"I should also add there was horror of horrors a few british out laws in the west."
Most notable, Percy the Kid, aka "Paddlin' Percival" He was infamous for holding up stages, but seemed less interested in the strong box then in making the male passengers drop their trousers and bend over while he spanked them with a large paddle. He wore a Lone Ranger style half-mask, but everyone could reognize him by his notoriously bad teeth. -

It's so funny to see Kevin Kline and John Cleese in scenes together in this movie when you know what they were doing just three years later in A Fish Called Wanda.
Beer, Norm?
Isnt it early?
For a beer?
No, for stupid questions.

Best comedic scene is when cleese is playing chess opposite a guy who looks deeply engrossed in the game..when cleese moves his chess piece you expect the other guy to respond and move his chess piece but no!cleese just turns the board around..and continues pondering his next move.he was playing chess all by himselfclassic.

i just saw this movie, and the part where danny glover is shooting at cleese and his crew while hiding in the high ground. i swore it sounded/looked exactly like him.
funny how it ended up being him in such a random movie. Hes so jokes. -

The "problem" with Cleese here is ofcourse that he is know for all his Python and Fawlty Towers work.. I don't think when this movie was made that he had ever had a serious role.. That's the "danger" of casting these known celebs in such minor roles.. You don't see a Sheriff.. you see John Cleese
