Movie synopsis

Stuntman-turned-director Hal Needham (CANNONBALL RUN), fashioned this intricately staged slapstick western after Road Runner cartoons. Cowboy Handsome Stranger (Arnold Schwarzeneggar) is escorting Charming Jones (Ann-Margret) to obtain a large amount of money from her father. However, they don't know that bumbling villain Cactus Jack (Kirk Douglas) has been hired to try and get the money from them in transit. The action is enhanced by the presence of several veteran character actors and comedians, including Ruth Buzzi, Foster Brooks, Jack Elam, and Paul Lynde.

a Cowboy with a German Accent yeah right~ funny~ silly~

Created: 05/04/08
think Willey E. Coyote VS Road Runner and you have the PLOT.....Arnold Swartzenegger as "Handsome Cowboy" that is his name helps out Ann Margret as Miss Charming ADD the "Villain" great Kirk DOUGLAS but the real star of this movie is his horse Whiskey who steals every scene he can~ Handsome and Miss Charming have to get where the Hero and Heroines need to go and Villian Douglas and his hammy horse make many attempts to "stop them" and the approach is very much like Willey Coyote~ and funny~! complete with German ACCENT a very young Arnold is as funny as he is not acting but following the silly plot! I give this a solid 8 out of 10 for fun insite of little plot and BAD acting~ except for the horse of course~

IF YOU FOUND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE~

I love the Villain!

Created: 03/03/08
Delightful spoof of all those favorite Westerns, with a very young Arnold Schwarzenegger playing a handsome stranger named "Handsome Stranger" and showing the first signs of comic genius as he stumbles through a classic adventure with railroad barons, wild Indians, gun battles, gold mines, and every cliche you can think of. The audience has much more fun with his dialogue than Ann Margaret does -- she's aiming for a passionate love scene and somehow keeps missing. Kirk Douglas plays the worst of all possible oater bad guys, abetted by a horse who deserved an Oscar. I had to watch it three times before I could say I'd seen the whole thing. I kept laughing so hard I'd miss the next scene. This movie never got much publicity; the DVD is dated 2002 but the original movie is much older. And it's a classic.

A Must Have Forgotten Classic!

Created: 31/10/10
Kirk Douglass(doing his best Wily E Coyote impression), Ann-Margret, & Arnold Schwarzenegger(Playing an innocent, slow witted cowboy alone worth the price of admission) all in the same spoof ball slapstick comedy. Where else are you going to ever see something like this! AAA+++!!!!

The Villain

Created: 03/09/06
The Villain is one of the funniest of all time movies and is an excellent parody on the Rhode Runner and Wiley Coyote cartoons.

Kirk Douglas, Ann Margaret, Arnold Schwarzeneggar and others are great.

The Coyote/Villain

Created: 02/01/09
Fun time for a reiny Saturday afternoon. Arnold is young and talentless, Kirk Douglas is great comedian - would have never known that otherwise. Ann-Margaret is superb.....how did she miss being another Elizabeth Taylor?
