    Another brief glimpse of Vasquez in the penultimate episode of Disney's Zorro season 2, which guest-starred a 30-year-old James Hong as a Chinese character that everyone in the episode called a "boy." Ay caramba. (Also an uncredited Richard Deacon as a Franciscan priest, of all things.)

    Sandstone, maybe. But never granite.

    Was that scene set in China's well-known Vasquez Province?

    The "railroad" set visible behind Caine provides a clue that the setting is meant to be a track-building work camp on the US transcontinental railroad.

    It did occur to me to wonder whether some scenes in Blazing Saddles used the same set, but filming dates would have been separated by more than a year, plus the majority of the railroad track-building scenes in Blazing Saddles were filmed at a location near Mojave, 40 miles or so north. I think the "quicksand" sequence was filmed at Vasquez Rocks, but not most of the rest.

    At this point it might be easier to document where Vasquez Rocks didn't appear :devil:

    Man, the person who books shooting time for Vasquez Rocks must really be keeping busy, huh?

    I'm watching "The Beverly Hillbillies", and Granny is watching a fictional western on the television and the shootout takes place at the base of Vasquez Rocks.

    I said out, dammit!
    I just watched the Outer Limits ep "The Zanti Misfits." Oh, man, shot entirely at the Rocks. Some great scenes.
