Oh god, the title.
I can't stop snickering at it, it's hilarious.

Sounds after a commercial for Viagra Pills.

Yes, and I'm finding out more and more that movie makers like to put little jokes into their movies.
When making a comment on one of the guys, Heston say's something like "that coyote's sniffed under every boulder in the state" but it sure sounds like he actually says "ball".
When Coburn smacks the youngest of his team, the kid falls with his back against a rock and Colburn sure looks like he's about to jump him...as in, sexually assault him.
There was one other thing too but I can't remember right now.
It's funny because Coburn is wearing a brightly colored silk shirt, while killing people in the desert outback! Huh? ....just like in Cat Ballou, in which he's clearly playing a gay character.
Rock Hudson movies have a lot of little gay jokes stuck in too. I was so naive in the old days I didn't notice, now I see these jokes (if that's what you would call em) all the time. Not just gay one's, there's all kinds of little subtleties slipped 'between the words' in movies.
I like waking up in the morning not knowing who I'll meet or where I'll end up: The Titanic
Boburn wasn't in Cat Ballou. That was Lee Marvin.

Very well said.
shareI think finding humor in the title is more of a bad reflection on current times than an indication that people of the 70s were foolish or naive.
In 1976, people certainly knew that there was a sexual way of using the word 'hard', but used in the context of a western like this, nobody laughed and everyone understood it to mean 'tough', because there were no shows like South Park, Beavis & Butthead and Family Guy to ensure that everyone snickered like morons every time a possible double entendre was uttered.
Very well said. Thanks for saving me the trouble of doing so. Lord, how I despise these present times. share
Wow I never would’ve thought of that.
