I would watch that movie every time I saw it come on TV. I liked it, Good humor from the banter back and forth between Ossie and Burt. I give it a 7. Just sayin'

I wasn't crazy about it. Watchable on a rainy day.

[Irish Tom]

I thought it was a fun movie. Thumbs up.

Well, I redeemed a discount coupon and got a dvd for $3.00. It was worth $3, IMHO. Watched it after work today.

 

Better than "Duel In the Sun" or the Stone/Hackman atrocity "The Quick and the Dead", at least.

On the other hand

 

Sharon Stone or Shelly Winters?

Not even Sharon Stone could salvage that disaster. If you enjoy it, great, watch it until your eyeballs bleed. But IMO, the plot was so unbelievable I just could not watch it. And I liked "Cowboys and Aliens" for cryin' out loud!

Haven't seen it in ages, but always seemed to enjoy it.

 

Joe Bass: "Scalphunter! You reach up with your right hand and wiggle your left ear!...Now, if you wanna

keep

that ear, you turn loose that pack horse!"

 

Jim Howie: "Now just wait a minute here, Mistah, let's just talk about.."

KAPLOW!!!

 

(ear magically vanishes in a splatter of blood)

 

Jim Howie: (screaming to his hired thugs) "TURN LOOSE THAT PACK HORSE!!!!

You can't help but applaud something like that!
