Rating:2/10 Oh was this annoying to watch. I'm glad it was just over 50 minutes and that was it. It started off with some promise, but really flushed itself down the toilet rather quickly. I don't expect much from a "B" western, but I was expecting something better than this. This had some really strange things, such as telephones in the old west. How about John Wayne's horse. The horse goise back and forth from being black and white. How about the tree stump in the middle of town? Plain stupidity. The stagecoach falling off a cliff in a crash that looked like it would kill, but the people just get up and swim to shore. The one thing I found kind of cool was that one of the guys got knocked off his horse and while in the air his feet landed in the ground as if he was getting ready to run and he was running himself. That was just an amazing stunt. That was one of the most amazing things I've seen on film. That alone almost makes it worth the watch. But otherwise this was a stinker.
