By an Amazon.com customer
The OutlawThe Outlaw
Buy used from: $5.00
Hokey-smokes & Hoo-wee, this baby is B-A-D! Not just the worst full-budget Western ever made, but one of the worst full-budget movies ever made in ANY genre! ("Was that full-budget or full-busted?")
The Shooting [VHS]The Shooting [VHS]
Buy used from: $1.40
An utterly pointless movie with the most senseless ending I've ever seen. It wasted my time to such a degree that I actually became IRRITATED! Very competitive in the "Worst Movie Ever" category.

Sharon Stone plays a cheroot-smoking, Clint Eastwood-mimicking 1800s gunslinger. Was there something else you needed to know? (Along with the two movies above, this represents "The Dreck Of The West.")

Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $7.25
Could you make a shockingly poor & pretentious movie that moves slower than a line of people at the Department of Motor Vehicles for less than 36 million dollars? Well, Michael Cimino couldn't!

When I was young, my Mother told me that if I can't say SOMETHING nice then I shouldn't say anything at all. Therefore, I'm going to decline to comment on this movie.
Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's DaughterJesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter
With a title like this, you might think that it could be one of those stupid, but fun and campy movies. You'd be wrong. It's only stupid.

Cagney gives it a bit of life with his "Type A" personality, but if Cagney & Bogart are Western types, then Michael Jackson's a macho man, Madonna's an intellectual & Jane Fonda's a Constitutionalist!
Sagebrush Trail [VHS]Sagebrush Trail [VHS]

What you have here is a three "B" Western: "B"ad acting; "B"ad writing; and "B"ad directing. This baby is B-b-b-bad!

This movie "AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT A (hound) DOG!"
Man Without a Star [VHS]Man Without a Star [VHS]
Buy used from: $5.40
Horrible acting and a script that is as cliche-riddled as The Dalton Gang was bullet-riddled. The putrid odor lingers in my nostrils still!

Will Palance be convincing as an Apache warrior? Yes. Will Heston be his usual heavy-handed, charmless self? Yes. Is it legal to make a movie this boring? Yes, but I don't know why.

'BLAZING SADDLES' had a Jewish Indian chief; 'BULLWHIP' has a Brooklyn cab driver in the role. The difference? Well, in 'BLAZING SADDLES' it's MEANT to be funny. The editing is not to be believed!

Whodunits ain't no fun when you already know whodunit! Too simple a story to be meandering all around like it does. This is a Western soap opera.

I know it's considered one of the Western classics. It's really a sacred cow & a naked emperor. See my Amazon Guide, "SO YOU'D LIKE TO...LEARN WHY 'MY DARLING, CLEMENTINE' IS A BAD MOVIE" Parts 1 & 2.
