Has anyone mentioned:
"The Legend Of The Lone Ranger" (1981)
with
Klinton Spilsbury
That's right, he never made a movie before this and never made a movie after it.
Why?...Because he truly sucked in it.
Also his voice was dubbed, and they sued Clayton Moore to stop making appearances wearing the traditional Lone Ranger garb.
Anyway.... on an unrelated note, anyone excited for the new Lone Ranger movie due out next year?
Heh heh, wow, im surprised so many people dislike this movie. I love it because of several things including: Ann Margaret, the use of Looney Toons-like gags and such, the cast and because Paul Lynde was hilarious as the Indian Chieftan: "Nervous Elk". Nobody else could have pulled that off like he did.
The use of Looney Tunes gags is a pretty novel idea I'll admit, but when you can see them coming a mile away they lose their charm.
Paul Lynde is indeed great as Nervous Elk, and is one of the highlights of the movie.
Although "The Villain" has a high-dollar cast (Kirk Douglas, Ann Margret, Arnold the Governator), it belongs on the list of worst westerns???????????, IMO.
The problem with The Villain, is that it takes its cues from the Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner cartoons and makes them extremely predictable. The movie is like a Looney Tunes paint by the numbers exercise, you can see the gags coming from a mile away.
And somehow Hal Needham made once funny gags dull and boring.
For my money I would have to nominate The Young Guns, it had the dressings of a western but it lacked the heart of a western.
Paleface was indeed a parody of the Western and was meant to be taken tongue in cheek.
One-Eyed Jacks. I HATE that movie...
That's with Brando right? I can't stand him and dislike almost every movie he has ever made. He just grates on my nerves.
As much as I've liked Fred MacMurray in the past, I just can't visualize him
as a cowboy. After checking IMDB, sure enough, he was in several.
Glad I missed them.

When I found out about Fred MacMurray as a cowboy, my mind kept picturing a western Absent Minded Professor... and just refused to accept him as a saddle rider.
Out of the ones listed, Bogart is my nominee. But given a write-in I nominate most of the cast of Young Guns.
