Unforgiven: Loophole
This 1992 western was a huge success, both critically and commercially. Even though it came into existence on a meager $14 million budget, it grossed over $159 million at the box office. It also fared quite well with the Academy, claiming of nine nominations, four of which it won. One of the awards was for Best Picture. Still, even an Academy Award-winning film can have its faults, no matter how minuscule they may be. For instance, although Gene Hackman gives an exemplary performance as “Little” Bill Dagget, one part of his wardrobe invites a couple of questions. One of the most pressing? Why is his character wearing pants with loopholes? Those definitely were not a thing in 1880, the year in which the film was set.
