Okay, just to give you a taste of how bad this movie is. It's a western and they have a scene in there where everyone is rollerskating. Rollerskating in a western!!! It doesn't get much worse than that. I did like the waltz music they play throughout the movie.

I remember when Heaven’s Gate came out and it was destroyed by the reviewers. Lots of stories about how the director Michael Cimino was totally out of control. One story was about Cimino insisted he had to use authentic pre-ball bearing roller skates for the scene you mentioned.
