Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie a few years ago and, honestly forgot about it. A recent revival in interest in the western genre and the current situation in the world leaving us all with a need for a few laughs brought it back to memory. It was obviously made in a more innocent time with an old, familiar theme....damsel in distress and the hero to the rescue.
Kirk Douglas, hardly a comedic figure, and a young, naive Arnold Schwartzenegger are at their acting best. Anyone who is a fan of "The Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote"(and who isn't?)will roar with laughter as every scheme backfires on ole Kirk and "all's well that ends well".
Movie Review: Best Western Comedy Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Villian" is a suprisingly funny movie. It ranks number two in my list of all time favorite movies, right behind "African Queen". That in and of itself is high praise. The humor is often subtle, often nearly slapstick, and never knowing what the next scene will reveal keeps you glued to the screen. Example: The local indians, led by Paul Linde give chase to the buggie carrying the ranchers daughter and her driver "Handsom Stranger- Arnold Swartznegger", the chase ends abruptly as the carriage leaves reservation land. Indians fall off their horses in the abrupt stop. This is a must see movie.Movie Review: Hilarious Gem!

Kirk Douglas and Ann-Margaret star in this 'Looney Tunes' type of comedy. But, who cares about them right? It's all about Arnold Schwarzenegger pretending to be a cowboy. YES! This was almost as funny as "Hercules in New York", but the fact that Arnold didn't get top billing for this movie is ludicrous. Arnold is the movie and it's the first time he rides a horse, Earth-shattering! I wish I could say more, but this movie is only funny when Arnold speaks. The road runner type chases are pretty comical, but I recommend this gem to anybody who thinks Arnold is a mastermind.Movie Review: an all time favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my most favorite movies. It actually is a family favorite. We made our original "beta" copy when it 1st appeared on cable in the early "70's-. Arnold, Mel Tillis- Ann Margaret, Ruth Buzzy-- Kirk Douglas - (he was amazing) Paul Lynn- Who am I missing-- Oh yeah the horse Whiskey - and road runner- This was hilarious in the 70's and still is. - As we showed it to all of our friends in the 70's-- we present it to all of our friends now- every one must see "The Villain" over and over and over.- cant get enough of it.
