Benedito Dias Rodrigues I wondering how William Shatner was involved in this average Spanish western, the premisse wasn't so bad at all,in fact make sense,a twins brother half bread comanche & white man,but to consider it a crap there a long distance,the picture has a bad reputation by a large majority IMDB's users,but to me was an easily appreciation,therefore l find the answer,in fact the people fount a outrageous Captain Kirk got engaged in poor picture like that,a step down in your career,a place which he didn't dare to go,the picture itself is watchable and there good and bad moments,in time Joseph Cotten also has some criticism too????Resume:First watch: 2018 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD-R / Rating: 5.75

tracyfigueira God must really like William Shatner. How else can you explain a career like his? Shatner has probably given more bad performances than any actor in history, has been in more turkeys than you can name, yet somehow he keeps adding success to success. This bizarre Spanish-made Western plays like a bad Star Trek episode. Remember the one where a transporter accident divided Kirk into his good and evil selves? This is like that, except in this version the good Kirk is white and the bad Kirk is Indian. Anyone smell a hint of racism here? Where's Kevin Costner when you need him? Still, "White Comanche" is great fun, with a good performance from Joseph Cotten as the sheriff and plenty of the rugged, two-fisted action fans of "Star Trek" and Spaghetti Westerns have come to expect. Sure, it's not "Dances With Wolves," but how many films are?

bkoganbing It's a good thing that Star Trek prime became such a cult item. I would hate to think that William Shatner would have his career judged by this monstrosity of a western.It's probably well that critics remember that at the time this film was done, Star Trek was not the big cult item it became. It was an ambitious science fiction show in its first run that drew a loyal steady audience that NBC decided to cancel after three years. It's fan base grew in syndication and THEN Star Trek became an industry unto itself.So William Shatner in accepting this part had no idea what his future had in store for him. I think if he had he wouldn't have done this film.It's just plain terrible. It's poorly dubbed, it's music score is the worst I've heard for a western since The Outlaw, the acting is terrible and the plot line ridiculous.Shatner plays twin brothers who are from an anglo father and a comanche mother. One of them identifies with the whites and the other the Indians. Come to think of it there was an episode in Star Trek prime where the transporter divided Captain Kirk into a good and evil self. That one was far better done than this film.I'm sure Shatner might have thought he would go the way of Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson in spaghetti westerns. But I think he knew early on what a dog this film was and he overacts outrageously. Especially as his Indian self. Joseph Cotten is around for this also and he looks like he misses those good old days with Orson Welles.Just think when Bill Shatner did Comanche blanco he had no idea that his immortality was already sealed.

sol1218 (There are Spoilers) Almost getting hanged at the start of the movie for being mistaken for his kill crazy brother Notah White/Comanche half-breed Johnny Moon, William Shatner playing a duel role,has just about had it and decides to ride into Comanche territory,Johnny wants to challenge Notah to a duel and finally get it over with by either killing Notah so he won't commit any more crimes that he's, Johnny, been unjustifiably accused off. And that doesn't work or get killed by Notah himself so he won't by around and alive to have that problem any more.Meanwhile Notah is up to his old tricks again by attacking a stagecoach with his band of Comanche braves killing everyone on it. Raping the only survivor Kelly, Rossanna Yanni, as Natah goes back home to get stoned out on peyote to enhance is visions. He plans to resurrect the great Comanche nation and thus drive the hated white man out of it's ancestral lands.Johnny showing up at Notah's place challenges him to a duel to the death. The two brothers decide that it should take place in neutral territory, the quiet little town of Rio Hondo, four days hence. On his way to Rio Hondo Johnny gets involved with a local dispute there between the General,Mariano Vilda, and the towns salon owner Grimes, Louis Prendes. Johnny coming to the rescue gunned down two of the General's men who were about to hang one of Grimes work-hands Ellis,Vincent Roca. Ellis was fooling around with territorial markers on the General's and Grimes property.Getting into Rio Hondo for some rest before his big showdown with Notah Johnny is first recognized by one of the General's men his younger brother Coor, Javier Maiza, as the man who gunned down his men. Kelly mistakes him for his brother Notah,which is a very common happening in the film, as the man who held up the stagecoach tries to apprehend him. Johnny has a knock down an drag out brawl with Coors whom he puts to sleep with a number of kicks and straight rights. Luckily he just misses being shot and killed by an outraged Kelly.Convincing Kelly and the town sheriff Logan, Joseph Cotton, that he's not his murderous half-breed brother Notah, the only difference between Johnny and Notah is the color their eyes, Kelly falls in love with her now mistaken rapist ,the proper and gentlemanly Johnny Moon. This get's the banged up and jealous Coor a bit mad at him since he's secretly in love with her. We later in the movie again have a fight, this time with guns, between Johnny and Coor with Coor again getting the worst of it with a bullet between his eyes.The movie then degenerates into a free-for-all shoot em up between the Grimes gang and the General's staff. We get to see the entire town of Rio Hondo is depopulated of it's citizens in the process. Notah on his way to town to have it out with Johnny has his pregnant squaw White Fawn, Perla Crista, go to bat for him but ends up getting batted herself, by someone else. Later a member of the tribe Koh To, Louis Rivera, goes after Notah to stop and kill him. Koh To came to the conclusion that he's completely out of his head and will only bring death and destruction on the Comanche nation with his insane actions.White Fawn ambushes Koh To by sticking a knife in his back and then tries to finish him off by having her horse stomp him to death. It then that Koh comes back to life and unseats the shrieking and hysterical White Fawn stabbing and killing her as he himself slowly bleed to death from the stab wound. This whole scene is accommodated with some of the wildest and ear-splitting cries and yells that, if the sound on the TV isn't turned down. The screams can easily damage and burst your eardrums.Facing off in an almost deserted Rio Hondo Johnny and Notah have it out with johnny coming out the winner. Then as the movie ends Johnny plans to marry, a crazy about him and his light brown eyes, Kelly as he leads his people the Comanches back to their reservation to life of peace and harmony with the White Man.More then worthy to be featured on the Mystery Science 3000 bad movie program "White Comanche" is undoubtedly one of the best bad movies you'll ever see. Johnny Moon is hilarious by being targeted by everyone for crimes that he didn't commit. Even a little wimpy nerd turned bounty hunter like Carter, Victor Israel, trying to kill him who in return ends up almost shooting himself, before sheriff Logan gunned him down.
