THE worst Western of all time HAS got to be White Apache? I think its called with William Shatner playing the two brothers-one white-the other Indian.
The 2nd worst western is: A Town Called Hell-inspite of a good cast.

I would like to nominate Dancing with Wolves but purely on a technicality as I have managed to stay awake/interested long enough to see all of it it will get a bye ball
Silverado and Wyatt Earp spring to mind as possibles (there is a common thread here somewhere). However, the one that stand out with a silly title, loads of big names and is generally awful is Shalako.
I have watched it a number of times hoping it would improve with repeated viewing it doesnt.
Frisco Kid with Gene Wilder & Harrison Ford is another awful movie. TCM seem to love showing it .
I second your nomination for "Dances With Weasels". I hated that movie the one and only time I tried to stomach watching it. I also think that Saving Private Ryan is also way overrated.

I saw this when it had its theatrical release and thought it rather cute and entertaining, despite the gags being telegraphed.
Its hackneyed these days but still has its moments!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.
One "new" worst western comes to mind. I absolutely hated: A Town Called Hell? or whateverthehellitscalled? It had Henry Fonda and Aldo Ray in it-which is the only reasons why i watched it to begin with.

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.
Yup, twas Brando. The only movie I ever saw him in that I liked-besides Superman-was the one where he played a WWII German Officer. He diddo a good job in this one and was later killed by Dean Martin-who was a GI and on a Patrol with another GI--Monty Clift-to be exact. I can't think of the title off hand but-its actually a pretty good movie and also in glorious B&W.

Another one I consider a terrible Western is one I THINK was called" A Town Called Hell? And one that I know others here love but I cant stand is: One-Eyed Jacks. I HATE that movie as much as I hate Schindlers List.

Hi Itdo, that is interesting to hear about German TV but, I shouldn't be so surprised as well. Talk to any older German (preferably one who lived through WWII ) and they will tell you that modern Germany is nothing like they remembered--meaning teaching about their recebt history and that they have such an influx of immigrants there. -
Hi Jay, that was it Futureworld. I seem to recall that I did not like that one at all though its been many years since I last saw it. I agree with ya about hollywood as well.
I wonder when the movie: The Battle of the Bulge is released, I wonder if it will be the entire movie or butchered like it is when its played on TV stations. Reason I mention this is because when always aired, they usually delete the scens with Ty Hardin posing as a G.I. Lieutenant faking his commando raid on the German high commands HQ, and they also always delete the scenew where Robert Shaw (Col Hessler) and Hans-Christian Bleth (His Sergeant) are meeting the new Panzer commanders for the first time and the blonde guy who looks a bit like Martin milner, starts singing The Panzerlied (German tankers song)

I remember this movie as well. One of the first times I ever got to stay up past 10 PM was when this movies was playing. Being a kid at that time, I never really gave it much thought as a bad movie but, as a strange one. If I recall correctly, I think there was another of this type movie made that was actually worse.

Hi Stumpy, Phantom/Rick.
Phantom, I have heard of those movies before but never have seen them. I do see what you mean though by just the movie titles saying it all.
Rick, I have heard the title you poeted but never saw this one either. I read some reviews on it and will never watch this movie. Devine--why is that name familiar??????? Wasn't that person a cross-dresser or something?

Hi Robbie, good choices there as well. White Comanchie must have been on an extremely low budget. They filmed in Spain which I guess was OK but they did not put much mney into props etc.
William Shatner was on hiatus from doing the Star Trek TV series when he made this film. His performance was easily not as well done as his acting was in Star Trek. Also, the dubbing was lousy as well as the editing and continuity. Normally I do not pay attention to such things as that but when even I can notice the flubs that this movie was made up of, I have to draw the line.
It's no wonder that that movie was often touted as being rarely seen. Oh well, I thought i'd give watching it a chance. I did and I regretted it.
I made it up by watching Arrowhead again.

The reason I ask this is because, the one I think should take the cake for the lousiest ever made was played on TCM last night and was called: White Comanchie w/ William Shatner as twins--one of which was the White Comanchie.
