As cute as the movie is, the shooting scenes are total bonafide, Moroccan leather bound BS. For my European friends I am posting this video for historical educational purposes. As a note, after 1 to 2 shots with old time blackpowder rounds you wouldn't have been able to see beyond a few feet in a dank fetid cantina. As well, they didn't "fan" revolvers then. A fine movie, albeit with a great stretch on historical license...
On another note, in the 19th century some of the best blackpowder was actually made in England:

Next you're going to tell us that pistols weren't accurate enough back then to be able to shoot individual fingers off at 25 yards? ...
...My pet peeve in movies is engine/blaster/explosion noise in the vacuum of space.
As cute as the movie is,
...Could you please explain this to me? In the UK cute is how you describe a kitten, I've never been able to fathom what Americans mean by it.
Meaning #1 was new to me too.
Yes, I have seen it meant as such in literature, but never in conversation. Go figure. Most times it is used to describe children or a woman in a pixieish way. The only other time I can think of is saying it in response to a smartass (with a scowl), e.g., "Cute".
I've seen that on US TV progammes and films and never understood it. I think we only have the one usage of it here, so I understand "she's cute" as a compliment but after that it gets confusing. What's the saying "two nations divided by a common language"?
