I avoided this movie like the plague when it came out. Looked too much like it woukd be another dumb crude bro humor Hollywood hack job western spoof in the era of Porky's and Police Academy. It was probably marketed the same way. Occasionally it pops up in a reference somewhere being praised by people I respect. I finalky checked it out and it's well worth the effort.
It's definitely a bit corny and weak in places but so generous to the age of the white hat cowpoke movie, a genuine feelgood movie with sone stellar one-liners. "Oh it's just something I through together", referencing one of Berenger's elaboratee be fringed ensembles. The sight gags are great too: multiple guys falling out if 2nd stories into water troughs...and of course there are a few Nudie Suits thrown in for good measure.
It's good to see Fernando Rey cut loose and do some comedy instead of just brooding. Same joes for Berenger, to whom 1980's Movie star maker machinery was nit all that kind to: anyone remember Last Rites, Betrayed?
