Open Range is probably my favorite western movie of all time. However, blowing the guy across the alley gets a definite minus, in realism. Typical Hollywood nonsense. As silly as waiting all day for an expected gunfight and then jacking the lever, racking the slide or checking the sixteen shooter for being loaded, at the very last second before the shooting starts. You, of course, can not blow a man across the alley, or off a horse, unless the man on the other end of the gun gets blown backwards the same amount. In spite of that, Open Range is, IMO, overall the best western ever made. Robert Duvall is also the best western actor, of all time. Also, JMO.
