Honor Before Reason | |
| The Frisco Kid / int_44fc28e8 | comment |
Honor Before Reason: Avram stubbornly refuses to ride his horse on Shabbat, despite being pursued by a posse determined to hang him. As mentioned in Artistic License – Religion, this ignores the concept of pikuach nefesh, which allows for violating religious laws to save a life, including one's own. He also fails to explain that Darryl and his pals were trying to kill him and Tommy when Avram shot Darryl. It takes Tommy showing up to realize that Matt was Avenging the Villain. | |

Tonto Talk | |
| The Frisco Kid / int_58edb895 | comment |
Tonto Talk: When Avram and Tommy are captured by Native Americans, they attempt some Tonto talk, e.g. "Me rabbi. Jewish Rabbi. I cross big ocean. I read much book about Indians." Chief Gray Cloud is not amused and replies "You don't speak English very well." | |

Thunder Equals Downpour: After Rabbi Avram tells a skeptical Native American chief that the Abrahamic God can do anything, "but he does not. Make. Rain.", there's a thunderclap and a downpour. | |

Rule of Funny | |
| The Frisco Kid / int_a60e3252 | comment |
The movie doesn't seem aware of a basic concept in Judaism called pekuach nefesh, the principle that nearly all the religious laws can and should be violated to save a person's life. He is seen repeatedly risking his life not to violate the Shabbat or see his Torah scroll be burned, and any rabbi would know he has no obligation to do such things, and that it's even considered a serious sin to endanger one's life for such purposes. Especially strange considering they had two rabbis as consultants. Admittedly, some of it can be put down to Rule of Funny. | |

Mistaken for Afterlife | |
| The Frisco Kid / int_aa4aea64 | comment |
Mistaken for Afterlife: Avram passes out after having too many berries (or was it peyote?) at an Indian Bonfire, even though Tommy, his gunslinger companion, tells him to ease off. He awakes in a small room, attended by a silent figure in robes, with a large cross on the wall. When he starts to panic, thinking he died, Tommy shows up and tells him that he was brought to a local monastery for help. | |

Actually, That's My Assistant: When the San Francisco Jewish community finally meets Rabbi Avram, they mistake the fancier-dressed Tommy for him, and try to speak to him in Yiddish. Rabbi Avram, on the other hand, is dressed like a cowboy. | |

Settle for Sibling | |
| The Frisco Kid / int_e38c6149 | comment |
Settle for Sibling: Played with as Belinksi is arranged to be married to the daughter of a local Jewish merchant, without having met her; she's vain, selfish, a total flirt and obviously not a good match for him. Her shyer more modest and withdrawn sister is a much better match...as the rabbi discovers when he eventually arrives in town, takes one glimpse of the younger sister and falls hopelessly in love with her, without having even met his intended bride. He ends up marrying her instead. | |
