this struck me as an intellectually indefensible position if the only reason for seeking invincibilty is to make getting what you want easier...

oh, that's the crappy mainstream version of 'el mariachi", isn't it? if so, i'd bet money that it's ripped off from a bad dubbing of a kungfu movie and the bastardized origins are buddhist---some kind of zen story-- there are plenty of those around.

but the logic in this one, of course, is utter crap as you point out. if he wanted nothing he would not have wanted to shoot the extras. for bastardized orientalism, "ghost dog" did it much much better.
