Do not think you have lost your mind that this blog bringing a cowboy movie, a classic western American with influences from spaghetti western , tape set in the Wild West, but produced and performed between 60 and 70 in Europe (mainly in the Roman studios Cinecittà or in the desert of Almeria ).
original titles "Hang'em High" ( Ted Post, 1968) is popularly known as the Hispanic "They made two mistakes" except Venezuela, where called "Brand from the gallows ".
And today we bring this tape it up for several reasons. First, as a posthumous tribute to Dennis Hopper , recently died of prostate cancer , and played a brief role on the same side (known as a dangerous alienated Prophet). Second, to commemorate the 80th birthday of the prolific and versatile filmmaker Clint Eastwood protagonist of this film. And finally, to discuss whether or not medically possible for a man surviving a hanging.
is not the first time that separate the two players mentioned in this blog. What we have done in the past about "The Adventurer Midnight (Clint Eastwood , 1982), where California became director Red Stovall, a singer veretano country seriously ill tuberculosis, and also to refer to the psychopathic Frank Booth of "Blue Velvet" ( David Lynch, 1986), Hopper masterpiece infected and demolishing their particular course of action.
In Spain, tells the story of the soldier lucky Mariano Coronado, sentenced to death for robbery and murder on December 29, 1802. To this end, the scaffold was prepared in the Plaza Mayor of Valladolid . Once hung, and him for dead, the body was hook and delivered to the Confraternity of the Passion for the funeral. They say the chronicles of the time that the run before being placed on the coffin, was able to move a hand. Realizing that authorities had not really dead, he raised the possibility of hang for a second time. Finally, the judge dismissed the punishment in holding that the defendant had already served his sentence. Failed to act against the executioner for his incompetence, and the miracle was attributed to the body of the condemned was not enough time hanging.
We read "The rope and fire. The death penalty in Spain of the XVI and XVII centuries" of Ángel Rodríguez Sánchez, who the gallows and the stake systems were traditionally preferred to apply the death penalty in our country:
"The first is the emblem of the civil penalty for the general public, surrounded by a halo infamous, the second is almost an institutionalized punishment to please the Church. The rope, the ladder, the clean and jerk of the executioner, is reserved for murderers, murderers, thieves, robbers, notorious concubinage, forgers, corrupt, petty debtors, repeat offenders of all kinds, incorrigible inmates and men to whom the question of justice becomes disadvantages of characters is best undone. The stick and the wood are a punishment of heretics, their effigies, gay and charged with bestiality ... "
Returning to the film before us, a drama set against the backdrop of revenge , about the lynching of Jed Cooper (Clint Eastwood ) Can we find another case of hanging as the soldier's surviving Coronado?
A group of riders awarded him the hero of marriage Johanson murder to steal the cattle ... The man is reliably defends the false accusations ... In nothing is his argument, because it ends up being hanged from a tree branch. The head of the game executor is the authoritarian Captain Wilson (Ed Begley ). Let's stop this brutal execution attempt:

Returning to the film before us, a drama set against the backdrop of revenge , about the lynching of Jed Cooper (Clint Eastwood ) Can we find another case of hanging as the soldier's surviving Coronado?
A group of riders awarded him the hero of marriage Johanson murder to steal the cattle ... The man is reliably defends the false accusations ... In nothing is his argument, because it ends up being hanged from a tree branch. The head of the game executor is the authoritarian Captain Wilson (Ed Begley ). Let's stop this brutal execution attempt:
- Cooper is mounted on the back of his own horse, hands bound behind their backs. The rope is long. A gun makes the animal Wilson be surprised that the protagonist is suspended by the neck at a height of about one meter above the ground. In the hangings to fall short, the weight of the body and fighting moves to avoid the pressure of the rope leading to the death by strangulation (asphyxia, compression of carotid and vagal reflex fatal). Recall that to compress trachea and carotid simply apply a weight of between 2 and 3 kg, while for vertebral artery injury would require a larger load, around 10 to 20 kilos. Professional tab actor Clint Eastwood contains a height of 188 cm. In 1968, according to the appearance presented during the filming of this movie dare we estimate a weight of perhaps about 75 kilograms. In addition, to death by hanging is not necessary that the suspension of the body to be total, since it might be enough pressure on the neck by the knot, but the hanging is incomplete. This pressure (as in the strangulation) can cause a shock reflects by the injury of the cervical nerves and pericarotideo plexus.
- hanged in the fall that are hanging by long (for example if they are pushed from heights or falling through a trap door opens to his feet on the scaffold), rapid downward movement followed by abrupt stop and pull the rope around the neck usually causes a fatal injury ( vertebral fracture and spinal section). For example, using this procedure murdered the Dr. Lecter (Anthony Hopkins ) the intrepid curator Pazzi (Giancarlo Giannini ) in "Hannibal " ( Ridley Scott, 2001), releasing the vacuum a rope around his neck from the heights of Palazzio Vecchio in Piazza della Signoria full of Florence . This method causes rapid death and a child suffering reo. In "They made two mistakes," we see how this is the execution system used by the Judge Fenton (Pat Hingle ). The scaffold with six forks and their corresponding balances remain permanently mounted in the town square. This last character, I brought back memories of other classics of the genre, actors judges "The Stranger" ( William Wyler, 1940) and "The hanging judge" ( John Huston, 1972) , where the famous Judge Roy Bean was played by Paul Newman .

- The scenes of lynching can see how the sliding knot is used to a plane sliding lateral and posterior neck. This respresent a peculiarity, because although surely be compressed cervical vascular bundle, was asymmetrically, allowing a possible leak venous return. For this reason, Cooper would not be a "blue hanged," not presented cyanosis of the face and head. As mentioned above, the death of a hanged man may occur by several mechanisms. One is the mechanical asphyxia , since the language would move back imposibilitanto compressing the oropharynx and the necessary input of air through the larynx and trachea to the lungs.
- cerebral Phase : onset of subjective symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, tinnitus, anxiety and distress. All this can take up to 60 - 90 seconds, after which the knowledge is usually lost. Appears bradypnea and tachycardia.
- Cortical arousal and medullary : usually lasts about 120 seconds. Displayed generalized seizures, including the respiratory muscles. Visceral peristalsis causes it to empty the bladder and intestine. Also activates salivation, sweating, and may even trigger the erection and ejaculation. The sensitivity and reflexes disappear and the face turns blue, by significantly increasing blood pressure and bradycardia.
- respiratory Death, which can last between 60 and 120 seconds. Progress towards the right ventricular failure.
- Cardiac Death : Wherein displayed arrhythmias incompatible with life.

According foregoing could be feasible a hanged takes to die about 5 minutes mechanism asphyxia and anoxia, depending of course individual resistance, position knot choke and height from which occurs hanging.
In "They committed two errors" the character embodied by Clint Eastwood remains hanged 65 sec until your body is released death rapid Marshall action Dave Bliss (Ben Johnson ), that hard Tector Goch of "Wild Bunch" ( Sam Peckinpah, 1969).
COLOPHON
From medical point of view might have been Jed Cooper feasible, as he blessed the nineteenth-century English soldier, survived his lichamiento having been let down by the tree quickly. However, it would much less credible than it did after being in the air hanging from a rope just over a minute, resisting aggression so great without having suffered more injuries than a deep scar flaying around his neck. It would be very difficult to accept that in all that time there were no serious injuries suffered respiratory (laryngeal damage, lung congestion and subpleural edema) or serious bruises cervical (muscle, spinal, vascular and neurological).
Later, the mock hero back to death after being shot for treason by Captain Wilson, Tommy (Jonathan Lippe ) and Loomis ( LQ Jones), of course, the three evil paid with their lives so great audacity. But for such a miracle occurred were needed the loving care of the beautiful Rachel (played here by Inger Stevens, the blonde actress with long hair).
But cinema is because no one would accept that the hero died just 8 minutes into the movie ... The entrance would have been too expensive .
