Movie Art 101: What Were They Thinking?

A new feature on The Mung Hour. Analyzing film advertising.

Looking at this rare 1990 piece of American history, it is clear to us that the Wild West was no place for heroin dealers, corrupt South African smugglers and corrupt ex-policemen, as we can see here with this late 19th century pairing of buddy cops. A suicidal Civil War widow forced to work with his darker skinned Sioux senior detective on the verge of retirement from the force. After earning each other's trust from their first assignment, busting a cocaine ring run by Civil War mercenaries, these two became lethal friends and a formidable duo during the tribal campfire dance-offs.

In the unexplored Western frontier, having a frontier mullet is always a measure of a man's ability to survive in the wild. You can just look at this painting and appreciate the cleverness of the white man's ability to harness tatonka fat to create the right amount of hair mousse for that perfect "scalp-your-enemies-front-and-party-in-back" look.

This piece of painted art would look great shellac'd on burled oak hanging on the wall, complimenting your wagon coffee table and pale green shag rug in any fine mobile home.
