Plot holes - criticism needed for reception section
[edit]I just finished watching this movie yesterday and it was one of the best westerns I've ever seen; however, the climax had plot holes and the feel-good dinner scene at the very end left me unhappy. I would therefore like editors to be on lookout for any citable reviews or cast interviews for the article's Reception section that might explain or provide criticism of the following:
- Why did the sheriff set the general store/bank on fire just across the street from them when it had dynamite in it. No one in the store bothered to shout out that fact as a reason not to torch the building. Wouldn't dynamite explode in a fire?
- How did the fire jump to the building across the street where John Wayne and Forrest Tucker had their epic fight?
- Why did no one bother to organize a fire brigade at the end? With the town burning and dynamite inside, they just stood around looking pensive for the camera.
- The biggest omission is the lack of mention at the end of what happened to Linda Day's character, whose lawyer-storekeeper husband, played by Andrew Prine, was killed in the gunfight. They could have said she went back east, but there was nothing. I'm wondering if there is a scene that was cut out of the movie at the end because they wanted to end on a high note. Her character just disappears. Maybe Linda Day gave an interview somewhere. She married castmate actor Christopher George a few months before Chisum was released.
I'd like to know if any movie reviewers or cast members commented on these problems in an otherwise excellent film. 5Q5 (talk) 17:26, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

[edit]What about the unique WB logo at the start of the movie.
I don't recall seeing it any other time.
Would that be considered unique enough to be mentioned somewhere in the article?
Just curious. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 03:06, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
