Low budget "Pale Rider"...
Has anyone else seen the similarity? The story is almnost the same, and there are scenes almost identical! (the quarrel at the store, for example).

shareI thought when he bought the axe handle in town he was going to do a Clint Eastwood. But no, he asks the bad guys if he could take him home. And says please to boot.
I don't think Clint let himself get beat up in Pale Rider.
Ya I see the similarities but I also kept thinking of Unforgiven as well.
It wasn't a bad movie but it certainly lacked in originality.

Well put.
shareAgreed. Although the similarities to Pale Rider are inevitable, I think it's due to their both being derived from Shane. To me, the film was pretty clearly an attempt to negotiate a merger of Shane and Unforgiven (down to it's rather derivative title after the latter,) while throwing in the estranged father-son element for good measure. Still, not a bad genre flick, and the Gent Dave character is an interesting homage twist on the pure evil of Palance's in the classic film.
