Plenty of great movies you can make with black men in the wild west.

Just not this one.

Not to get all Ghostbusters on this, but the original series was an important take on the 60's James Bond craze and is arguably the origin of steampunk. The premise is that these two agents are blending in as they go about their missions in the old west. Having a black man as James West kills any suspension of disbelief that these two guys are able to go undercover in the post-war 1860's and 1870's.
