FightingWesterner With his wagon train resting, trail guide Charles Bronson rides to the nearest town for provisions with ten-year-old Kurt Russell tagging along.Once there, Bronson finds his long lost love whom he thought dead, married to his villainous one-armed enemy, who along with his nasty brothers holds the town virtually hostage.Edited together from from episodes of the early sixties TV series The Travels Of Jamie McPheeters, Guns Of Diablo is a decently entertaining and well acted movie, despite the fact that the direction and editing still have that episodic television feel.At the end of the day, what really makes this worth watching is the irresistible chance to see tough guy Bronson acting alongside future tough guy Kurt Russell.Russell should have pulled some strings and got Bronson cast in Tombstone!
midnight_raider2001 Charles Bronson is not listed for "The Adventures of Jaime McPheeters," a September 1963-March 1964 series, but he played Linc Murdock in that show (with Kurt Russell in the title role and Dan O'Herlihy as his father) for the last 18 or 20 episodes after another actor left. I've seen snippets from this film and may have it on home video, but my cataloging leaves much to be desired. Although the movie is in color at a time when color TV shows were relatively rare, I think it's either a two-part series episode given theatrical release or a movie feature quickly spun off from the series. Leonard Maltin's Movie and Video Guide doesn't list it. Perhaps someone can hunt down the show (perhaps I could do it myself from a source book I know) and put it into IMDb.
Wizard-8 This is actually a couple of episodes of the short-lived TV series "The Travels Of Jaimie McPheeters" edited together. Though the production values are decent, it never quite shakes the TV feel it has. It's not terrible at all - just rather ordinary, with not much excitement and a lot of chat. However, there is definite interest in seeing a young Kurt Russell, especially seeing him with Bronson. Bronson fans might get more enjoyment out of this, because he plays a different character than the usual hard-ass he played. He even has a love scene, which is surprisingly revealing for the period - hard to believe they got away with it on American TV in the early '60s!
Peach-2 This is a fair movie to say the least. Not one of Charles Bronson's better movies. Only the die-hard Bronson fan might want to check it out. Look for a very young Kurt Russell in the film also.
