Episode 37: Sam’s Notes

Tex and the Lords of the Deep

  • Well this looks really Spanish
  • Opening narrative to explain that death runs at his side to kill anyone who breaks the law of the white man
  • Night Eagle
  • Uhm… Lone Ranger and Tonto?
  • And this is clearly dubbed
  • Just riding through the desert
  • Head
  • “He’ll pay for it before his black spirit burns in hell!”
  • This looks like hard work, I’ll leave you to it
  • Holy shit, gunshots! I hope something happens now.
  • Nope, only the most boring thing that could possibly happen with shooting, destroying bottles.
  • Native American stereotypes are fun
  • Tex murders people
  • “A snake is never unarmed.”
  • “Now you can sell whiskey to the Devil.”
  • Picturesque Navajo village
  • Cowboy Gandalf?
  • Groovy music
  • Tex is clearly not interested in anything Silver Hair is here for
  • Are there entirely different actors voicing the same characters?
  • I am bored by this discussion of which route they’re going to take to go wherever this is
  • This music really does not shout adventure movie to me
  • Tiger’s signal!
  • A tiger isn’t exactly a native american spirit animal
  • That does not look like someone who is burned
  • After burying more people, they’re at a town now
  • I’ll just take that fetish from you
  • Talk of vittles and varmints makes this sound like the most stereotypical western
  • Also, is Tiger a valet?
  • Something about gun running?
  • “You must be loco!”
  • “Drop your gun!” *bang*
  • Everything in this room just fell over.
  • Okay, I really like that mummifying effect
  • Didn’t someone lose their hat just now?
  • Chasing the guy on horseback in a horse drawn wagon… so this isn’t happening
  • Slow chase through the waist high water
  • This guy is intentionally marking a trail
  • Why is their random smoke coming out of water?
  • The mythical quicksand!
  • “Hold fast Tex, don’t let go…” uh… really?
  • Where’s Tiger? Probably washing your laundry.
  • During the autopsy, “Beer.”
  • The guy doing the autopsy: “I’ll try to probe at this point, with God’s help.”
  • Now let’s spend 20 minutes enjoying the lazy float across the river on this ferry with soaring big country music…
  • More scenes of these guys riding horses around
  • Burro!
  • Alright, we’re here!
  • Whoever is talking is off-screen and we haven’t seen him yet
  • Oh, it’s this… Egyptian fellow
  • Tequila and lemons
  • Something in the mouth of the pendant
  • Apparently, phosphorescent
  • Just wait here while I prepare a slide and examine it under the microscope
  • It’s of volcanic origin, and now we have to verify the hypothesis, with FISH!
  • And this valet guy is really mysterious
  • And the fish that ate the volcanic stuff was instantly dessicated
  • What is a “volcanically active cave”?
  • 38 minutes in and super bored
  • Camera follows knife walking through the entire house
  • “You keep the storms of death away from anyone who lives in this house!”
  • *scuffle*
  • “Well they’re plum crazy.”
  • Assassin dies after giving the bad guys information about who’s coming.
  • Touches crucifix to the lips of the dead Indian guy, who we’ve already established, worships demons
  • Let’s watch these guys ride in with some big country music
  • “Dag nabit Tex!”
  • Just going to watch you boys take off your spurs
  • So this guy is El Dorado?
  • I see, they’re kicking up dust to cover their entrance
  • Damnit, they shot the horse
  • People falling off buildings
  • Wagon tries to escape
  • Body in the well
  • Shoot the wagon and it blows up
  • Marcus is betrayed!
  • Gives the dying man his cigar
  • Sad scene killing the horse
  • Oh, El Dorado’s gold… I get it
  • Meet me at Vulture’s Well tomorrow
  • These men have no pants.
  • At the cult temple, I guess
  • The guns aren’t here yet because UPS
  • Gaze upon the beautiful gold colored light in this chest!
  • Why does this guardian of the abyss look funny walking around here
  • Just watching Tex pour some coffee and sip it to some nice peaceful sunset music
  • People hidden under the sand!
  • More shots of Tex riding his horse to some friendly music
  • So Tex gets to the camp of Mogwa, is told that the white man is ruining everything, and then the chief’s son attacks him and Tex fights and wins
  • Tex arrives at Vulture’s Well and there’s no one there, but he notices the cloth that looks like it could be from anything
  • Our friends have been hung from the rocks
  • Crazy speech by crazy man
  • “Why don’t you go fry cow dung in Hell!”
  • And to punish him, they lower the man closer to the bottom
  • Another guy riding on a horse for a while
  • Oh look, there’s Tex
  • You don’t think the guy you’re trying to capture is going to smell your cigarette smoke?
  • Gunna blow this arsenal up good!
  • Tex kills everyone
  • Tex flips!
  • These men still have no pants
  • Why is this guy shooting his rifle from the hip?
  • The escape into the volcanic caves
  • Tex keeps a lot of matches in his pocket
  • Any idea where we are? Probably in a cave
  • Are we supposed to believe this horn music is coming from that guy tooting the animal horn?
  • Oh, Mogwa is going to be killed
  • Yup
  • Why didn’t Tex shoot the priest guy?
  • Everything starts falling apart
  • Rocks falling out of the sky?
  • All the priestesses suicide with the green stones
  • El Dorado shows up looking for his treasure, I guess
  • El Dorado is killed by a random snake
  • Narration explains that the forces of good prevailed
  • Ending narrative is in Spanish, no English anything
