That's probably my fav John Carpenter movie. The minimalistic score is just perfect and ever so often sampled, borrowed and remade in various styles of music over the past 30+ years.
Yeah the misnomer in the title is old news but quite a funny one indeed. Even funnier is that Carpenter didn't even like the whole title, with or without the false detail but eventually agreed when the producers pushed on with it. I'm not sure if Carpenter's initial title The Anderson Alamo would have had quite a similar effect than the final one did. The movie is basically a remake of the classic western Rio Bravo but the Alamo title might have been a bit misleading considering the style of the movie.
