Sabata uses his gun like a remote control

It's something they often do in westerns: manipulate objects using only their revolvers. This movie seems to take that gimmick to a laughable extreme. Every object seems to be conveniently placed so that Sabata can do whatever he wants with it just by shooting at it. He shoots dice on a table, he shoots the ropes that tie dollar bills together, he splits a barrell containing a person by shooting it, he shoots a rope opening a hatch and covering one of his victims with grain and in the end he even shoots a dart from a booby trapped cane by tossing a coin at it.

So ?!
It's a movie. Get over it, perhaps ?

So I thought it was worth talking about. It's one of the things I found most memorable because it was so laughable. I liked the movie. I'm not really criticizing it, well maybe just a little bit...

They do it even more in the sequel...

It's easy enough to explain: Sabata has very good aim w/ his firearms (from a lot of practice) and has excellent hand-eye coordination allowing him to fire the dart-hidden-inside-the-walking-stick by tossing a coin onto its trigger.

You're gonna need a bigger boat.

Yes, I found it so implausible as to be ridiculous.
