Summary: 2 Stars
So incredibly bad, this flick could reach cult status one day if the general public ever discovers it, but that explains why I never heard of this pig before. I can't believe Henry Hathaway and Hal Wallis put their stamp of approval on this thing.
Great story becomes a victim of the creeping sensitivity of the 60's/70's in the silly tradition of geriatric sentimentality found in The Shootist, Rooster Cogburn, and that fingernails on the blackboard Raindrops scene in Butch Cassidy, but without a script. I defy anyone to name a movie with more ill conceived, outright moronic but hysterically funny dialogue and you'll be rolling on the floor as Gregory Peck, one of Hollywood's most revered actors introduces the word "punk" into the genre....4 TIMES! Dawn Lyn warms up for her role in Walking Tall, and brings the musical score from this turkey with her. And this is the first time I can ever remember seeing that sideways gansta' pistol pointing and prophetically the token Chicano outlaw "Pepe" gets taken out by this new and unexplainable technique. Hilarious!
If you don't like westerns you will probably love this thing; and if you are a fan of westerns you will laugh your majookas off. Would really make a good Mystery Science project-unintentionally very funny. And amazingly, the quality of the DVD transfer is very very good. Colors, texture, detail all there. Far beyond what you would expect from those mooks as Goodtimes because most of their work sucks. The audio is OK but you wont care because you'll be too busy bouncing off furniture and holding your sides as 3 of the stupidest outlaws of all time go on a menacing rampage with Peck as their intended target.
Laugh factor is strong, quality rating is low. A recommended rental with a 6 pack. 2 teacups
