witster18 Granted, I try NOT to watch terrible movies, so I'm sure there's worse out there.Where to start? I guess the opening credits. There's some train shots that would look like a 1974 promo clip for the Smokey Mountain Railway, with font and music that makes one ponder if anyone involved has ever done anything in the movie industry. Of course the promo-clip analogy was doing it justice, as the train sequence has many obvious toy train images. Fresh with Astroturf.Of course, Michael Madsen's on the cover. He's barely in the film, but just go ahead and dupe-us by putting him front and center on the best thing about the movie, the cover.The acting here is beyond terrible. It's like a Saturday night live skit, fresh with actors reading off cards, only add-on wooden faces and no enunciation. It's truly dreadful. I could make a better film than this. I'm broke, have no professional experience in front of or behind the camera, but IM CERTAIN I could make a better film than this.The few action sequences are as embarrassing as the rest of the characteristics.Avoid at all costs - unless you're just trying to see one of the worst movies of all-time. Some films are so bad they're somewhat entertaining(Birdemic, The Thing with Two Heads, etc), but this one is just bad bad. It hurts. Not a scene goes by where you don't shake your head and wonder if these people even knew they were actually live and shooting this.8/100 easily my lowest rating. Makes Master of Disguise, Glitter, Gigli, Pluto Nash, Room, Birdemic and Leonard Part 6 LOOK DECENT. Seriously!
jokerb-76-492400 I rated this 1 star out of 10 because they don't give you the option to choose no stars. Obviously, this movie really wasn't written/produced/directed by someone named Christopher Forbes because no one in their right mind would attach their name to this kind of rubbish. A pre-school class could have made something more entertaining than this. If I could go back in time and had the choice between paying for this movie or throwing $100 down a toilet I would've chose the latter just because I wouldn't want to give the film producers 1 cent of my money for this rubbish. Don't waste your time or money on this "film"!
Gladys_Pym Michael Madsen, eh? He's in barely a single scene with anyone else in it - my guess is he came on set for a couple of hours, did his bit and left. Even so, he was probably the best 'actor' in the film.It looks like it's filmed in some Western theme park, and if there's a single gunfight where you can actually see the shooter and the victim in the same shot, I didn't notice it. Which would work if the editing wasn't so lamentable.All in all, one for the bin. Straight to DVD? Why bother.Even the production company haven't bothered to get their friends to write 10* reviews on IMDb.It's tempting to believe it's a wry pastiche. But it's not. It's just rubbish.
mexicosteve Looks like it's shot on video and probably went straight to DVD, a complete waste of both. The acting is sub high school drama class. The script, particularly the dialog, is just plain awful. The scenery is all wrong- the setting is the Sierra Nevada Mountains but there's not a pine tree or snow capped peak to be seen. The time period is mid to late 1800's and books from that time period are already old. The buildings are are also already old. The continuity is a constant problem. Guns change, books change, glasses are moved, empty, full and empty again. I seriously can't believe Michael Madsen agreed to be in this train wreck. I can only assume he owed someone some serious money or this was a close family members Jr. High School film project.
