From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
El caballo del malo is a Spanish expression which arrived during the period many Westerns were being filmed in Spain.[1] The expression literally means "The horse of the bad guy."[1] During horseback chase scenes, Spanish crew members noted that the good guys always catch up to the the bad guys (malos),[1] which is counter-intuitive and a form of deus ex machina. The speed of a horse should not actually depend on the morality of its rider.
The phrase is also the title of a song by the band Migala.
