Interesting! There was a 1974 movie called "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot" with Clint Eastwood (John "Thunderbolt" Doherty) and Jeff Bridges (Lightfoot) about a gang that used a military cannon to breach a vault and steal a lot of money. Also, in the book (and movie) "The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing" the the main female character, who was kidnapped by train robbers, rode a horse named "Captain Lightfoot". I didn't understand the references before now. Thanks!
