Jane got a gun and a whole lot of money....


Dang, she got something north of 25 grand from her reaping... Back in 1871 that ain't too bad. What is that in today's money? One trillion ?

Whew. That might be a *slight* exaggeration?

There are probably lots of websites that would actually do the calculations for you.

I bit of googling tells me the prices on their heads were, while very high, not unrealistic. I am surprised by that.

Some of the calculating sites vary in their respective formulas, but safe to say Jane pulled in at least $0.5 million by today's standards.🐭

I began this film and found quickly that it was not my sort of flick.

But in comparison....Clint eastwood's character got nearly $500,000 in the film: For a Few Dollars More. To me, thats a whole lotta dough, even for today's standards.

I asked Google and she told be that a typical bounty in the old west was 150 dollars, and the highest was to Jesse James of 5000... so within this movie. I agree though, that this movie was not my cup of tea either.

[EDIT: FYI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_a_Few_Dollars_More says though 27k, and not 500k]
