Classic Western directed by John Ford about an unlikely group - including the notorious Ringo Kid - thrown together on a perilous trip.

stupid, politically incorrect, ignorant, must i go on? lets see, its about a bunch of travellers travelling trough native american land, and for some reason the native americans are the bad guys (i thought america was anti terrorist?). they've turned geronimo from a justice a leader into a bloodthirsty guy who kills people for no reason. heres some things that are wrong with the stagecoach chase scene: *ahem* 1) Apaches wore white bands that covered the top of their heads. the bands on the actors were tiny and were specially designed to keep their wigs in place. 2)Native Americans didnt use saddles. 3)Throwing rocks at the coach horses DOES NOT make them go faster! 4)Apaches cant jump from their horse onto the coach horses and hang underneath them. the only people that can do that are stuntmen. 5)How to you kill two Apaches with one bullet? 6)The scene is meant to be set in Mexico where Geronimo spent most of life avoiding the US Government. But you see its clearly shot in Arizona.
