Posts from ZS_Maverick in thread „Are There Any Good Duke B Movies?“

    I started liking these movies as a kid...a local channel would show these as a TV series, either "Cowboy Theater" which showed movies by various stars or "John Wayne Theater", which showed Duke's hour long movies. I enjoyed them as a kid. Later when I caught up with the videos and DVD's as an adult, they weren't quite as good as I remembered them, but they still had a sense of fun to them that I enjoy. What is interesting to me; all of the Indiana Jones movies and the copycats were inspired by those old Westerns and action Serials from these days. All of the action movies of today with their annoying CGI just can't compare to ol' Yakima Canut and his stunt crew! Just my opinion of course!

    Anyway, to answer your original question, some of the old Duke B Westerns that I like are The Warner Brothers series, which were remakes of old Ken Maynard movies and used footage from his silent movies to effectively pad them out..making some of them look like bigger budget movies than they were....my favorites were "Haunted Gold", and "Telegraph Trail".

    Others I liked were "King of the Pecos", "Winds of the Wasteland" and "Hell Town".
