The movie was alright to me.
It's one of those movies you watch when there is nothing else to do.
shareUgh. It was more like the "Hey Im Mario Van Peebles, look at how hot I am in this black outfit...wait, can you see my naked chest?"
"Other than that...Life is a bowl of Palmolive and I'm soaking in it"

Yeah, it was like watching a cartoon, but what the heck, sometimes you need to give the brain a rest. At least the plot hung together, the characters stayed true to their character all the way through, and there's nothing wrong with looking at Mario Van Peebles when he's hot. And I enjoyed the bad guys - three different kinds. And a great movie line - "We all got to go to hell someday."

yes it did suck- a mean a black gunfighte - know they were some black cowboys but a black good with a gun in that era- give me a break, its just not believable not racist or nothin but just not beievable.

They weren't slaves for 4 and half decades when this iflm was set....
shareWatched in in the theaters when it came out (if only b/c i had nothing better to watch & wanted to get out of the house for a weekend night). It seemed ok then.
Watched a dubbed version of it on Mexican TV(!) last night. The dubbing didn't bother me much. But looking at it now there were little things that annoyed. Such as the spiraling view on Mario whenever he needed to look mystical or the apparently regulatory presence of an ol' coot messily snacking on something whilst people ride into town / have a shoot up (heck, this ol' standby was revisited as recently as The Alamo from 2004, when the Mexican Army marches into town &, yep, there's an ol' coot sitting there disinterestedly chewing away on something).
Overall, it was a good idea but it could have been done better. Gotta wonder what made 'em think there was still more 'story' to mine as I think this thing had a sequel

Shows how little you know about American history---read BLACK COWBOYS OF TEXAS,BLACK COWBOYS OF THE OLD WEST,and BLACK FRONTIERS. Please do your research before you come on here talking about "there weren't any black guys with guns in that era"---yes, there were, and like another poster said, POSSE is set in 1898---a good thirty years after slavery ended---ever heard of Deadwood Dick,Nat Love, or Bill Pickett (the real-life black cowboy who invented the sport of bulldogging?) Black cowboys WERE the first cowboys--look it up,please.
