awesome comedy/western, mel and garner run this shit with all the plot twists, jodie foster aint bad to look at neither
Before Mel Gibson went completely daffy, he starred in some pretty damn good flicks. Like this one, and I'm unsure what to classify this movie under... comedy, adventure, action, western... probably all the above. Classic to boot.
I thought Id seen this like a million times but it seems I've actually just seen the first 30 minutes like twice. But now ive seen it all im happy. All the characters are money obsessed, even Murtagh shows up to rob a bank. They should team up again ...

All the characters are money obsessed, even Murtagh shows up to rob a bank. They should team up again for a Lethal Weapon 5 or a Maverick 2. Whichever theyre up for. If hes desperate I spose Murtagh could do Predator 3 and maybe Riggsy could do Ransom 2. Im just throwing out suggestions I really dont mind....
Critic Reviews
The first lighthearted, laugh-oriented family Western in a long time, and one of the nice things about it is, it doesn't feel the need to justify its existence. It acts like it's the most natural thing in the world to be a Western.full review
