Customer Reviews

Worst DVD I've ever seen.
Don't get me wrong. I like the film. It's pretty fun light hearted stuff, but this is one of the worst video transfer jobs I've ever seen. I can barely read the opening text, I can barely make out some of the shapes, and the whole thing looks like its negative had been sitting in the sun for the last 30 some odd years. Then again it's Good Times Video marketing the thing, and they're not exactly known for quality videos. Both audio and visuals get a major thumbs down in this viewers book. Do your wallet a favor, and don't buy this DVD. Wait for a better version (if there's ever going to be one).

Still, if you can put up with all that, it's actually a pretty funny movie. Camels and cowboys. Who would've thought?

Poor Video Quality
We own a VHS version of this film (which also included a short on the "Life of Benji", and ran it so many times it's wearing out. I was thrilled to see this DVD version and ordered it, but we watched it last night and it's little better than our VHS tape. The video is especially bad in the low light/night scenes (and there's a fair number of those) where you can't make out what's happening. The soundtrack is so-so as well (and mono).

Nutshell: great family film, awful video quality.

Slapstick comedy
This is a fairly funny movie about a cavalry unit in the US Army that is issued Camels instead of horses to patrol the American Southwestern deserts. Supposedly based on actual events. Funny in a sort of "F Troop" fashion.
