The shoot out that didn't happen
Ending of the Burt Lancaster film, Valdez is Coming. It doesn't end in a shoot out. He's trapped but won the admiration and respect of his pursuer (the hired gunslinger). The pursuer refuses the order to gun down Valdez and tells his men to stand down. Valdez then tells his nemesis it will end in two ways. Either he gets the $100 he wants for an apache widow it they will shoot it out between themselves.
There is shooting in the film and before being caught, Valdez uses his Sharps buffalo gun to kill some of his pursuers at close to 1,000 yds.
If you guys like Quigley Down Under, get your hands on Valdez is Coming. I bought it as a three flick, one disk at Wally World.
