Is this the worst western movie ever??


I have heard a lot about this movie and how a lot of people think it is absolutely terrible. I had never watched it before tonight. It has to be worst western I've ever seen!! The fight scene at the end really seals the deal. Half of the punches were obviously not even close to the person and you can tell they didn't bother to pay a professional stunt man because they would make it seem a little bit more real.

I wonder if this movie might have been the reason that Terrence Hill just faded off into obscurity. Terrible actor and some HORRIBLE acting, but this movie is a failure in every part.

That would probably be Beartooth or Doc Hookers Bunch , both of which I was involved in ( yick) but I'll grant you this one is bad .

Terrence has far from faded out he has been the star of a LONG running -2000 - to the present ,"Murder She Wrote" type of Italian show as a Catholic priest in a very Jessica Fletcher role. It's called "Don Matteo" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0178132/

My European husband just loves this weird show and calls it the "Bicycling Priest".

In Seattle it comes on the MHz network EVERY NIGHT.

This is a parody, not a "real" western movie. Maybe you have not too much sense of humor or you did'nt catch the frantic humor of this film. For example one of the most brilliant scene of movie history is the exercise on bycycle.
