Trivialidades:

In the scene where Augie tries to jump on Kevin Costner's character Jake's horse and falls to the ground, the horse is wearing Jake's hat. This was Costner's idea just before the cameras rolled to keep with his character's goofy nature. Kasdan loved the idea and it stayed in the film.

Errores:

Errores que Revelan: After saving the wagon trains money from the gang in the canyon, Emmet, Paden and Mal are sitting on horseback talking as the wagon train moves from right to left behind them. One wagon can be seen with the wagon tongue clearly broken and being dragged behind the lead team. The only way the team is attached to the wagon is by the reins in the drivers hands.

Citas:

[first lines]
[Emmett saves Paden's life with a sip of water from his canteen after discovering him abandoned and baking in the desert]
Paden: Pleased to meet you.

3/4ths of an Epic Western

SILVERADO is one of exasperatingly entertaining movies that leaves you frustrated that you are not more disappointed.

A "killer" (pardon) the pun, opening sequence, a terrific gunfights in the claustrophobic confines of a mountain cabin introduces us to Emmet (Scott Glenn). As Emmet opens the cabin door to spectacular western mountain scenery, Bruce Broughton's majestic opening title music creates the perfect atmosphere for excitement. By the end of title credits, we are introduced to Payden (Kevin Kline), an incredibly low-keyed but ironic gunfighter. Soon we met Mel (Danny Glover) and Emmet's brother (Kevin Costner, in a terrific, funny performance). Throw John Cleese, Roseanna Arquette, Jeff Fahey, Linda Hunt, Jeff Goldblum Lynn Whitfield and, especially Brian Dennehy into the mix, and you have one terrific cast. That's just the problem: There are so many top notch actors to watch, by the time the action reaches SILVERADO, your not sure who to watch anymore.

With all that terrific talent on hand, it's also amazing to me that Producer-Director-Writer Lawrence Kasdan (THE BIG CHILL) would cast such a weak head villain, particularly with such strong ones (Fahey and Dennehy) to compete for attention.

Still this is the most "ridingist, fightingist, shootingist" western of the 80s, and one of the five best of the last three decades. See it!
