Your Opinions and Comments
In fact it is a 'duel' between a guitar and a banjo. There a variations of the tune throughout the movie that well fits the action and occasionally inaction.
Lots of exciting scenes of the 4 'warriors' shooting the rapids, interleaved with mounting difficulties in reaching their destination.
I enjoyed it and will play the duelling banjos scene over and over again.
