Another favorite moment was when Eric scalpped Zeke never slowing down his horse. I'd have to say my favorite part is at the very end when the English Woman with Leporasy rode through the desert singing Opera and scaring the living daylights out of Eric. My Dad, my Brother, my Mom, my niece and my brothers girlfriend sat there laughing, crying, just enjoying it, the whole way round. My whole family watched this movie together. As soon as the movie started off and we saw the old woman saying 'beware of the dark woman on the white mule,' it grabbed my attention and I knew it would be great. But, about a minute into the movie, I started loving everything about it. I wanted to see Eric Schweig as legendary Buffalo Hump. I got this movie off of Netflix for one reason. May we now see a miniseries based on McMurtry's second prequel, 'Comanche Moon'? Although it may have been primarily a marketing decision, the strong resemblance between young and old Gus and Call works for me and, oddly enough, binds the two miniseries together. My guess is that making that resemblance a fact was of paramount importance to the filmmakers, as the primary audience for 'Dead Man's Walk' has already seen 'Lonesome Dove' and would be disappointed if Arquette's performance didn't recall Duvall's and Miller's work wasn't reminiscent of Jones'. One notices how closely the young actors portraying Gus McRae and Woodrow Call (David Arquette and Johny Lee Miller) resemble older versions of the same characters as actualized by Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones. Although I have read the book in question, it didn't curtail my enjoyment of the movie. The author of the book 'Dead Man's Walk' also wrote the screenplay for this film, which is obvious when one sees how closely the film adheres to the book.
