Maybe it's just a real westerny title that evokes westerny images. Plus it's fun to say. C'mon, say it with me:
"El Doradooooooooo"
(I added a whip crack afterwards for effect.)
I'd find this movie to be a much-more-in-character reference (a 1985 Lawrence Kasden boxoffice flop) and the costuming works!
