Fantasy western This movie falls into the "so bad it's good" category. All the actors are terrible, even Henry Fonda's cameo stinks. Some of the scenery is great, some is obviously phony. But somehow it is watchable, perhaps because you keep imagining what is being parodied, especially toward the end. Yet it gives one a twinge of regret when it's over.
Brookeee needs some acting lessons I can only hope the Ms. Shields used the money she made from this film to take some acting lessons. She REALLY needs them!!
Childhood favorite I was 9 when this movie first came out and I loved it. In my early teens when it started being ran on TV, I watched again (probably while wearing my Brooke Shields brand jeans!) and loved it. And now (in my 30's), when it is being run on cable I still love it! This movie is a great adventure, great western and is just great fun. I highly recommend it. I just wish it was available on DVD.
Child Exploitation Film! I rented this movie because it falls under the genres of "romance" and "western" with some Grand Canyon scenery thrown in. But if you're expecting a typical wholesome romantic western, forget it. This movie is pure trash! The romance is between a YOUNG GIRL who has not even gone through puberty and a MIDDLE-AGED MAN! The child is also lusted after by other leering men. It's sickening.
Peter Fonda is portrayed as being virtuous by trying to resist his attraction to Brooke Shields, and her character is mostly the one that pursues the relationship. He tries to shoo her away at first but eventually he gives in and they drive off as a happy, loving couple. It's revolting.
I don't see how this movie could appeal to anyone except pedophiles.
Great Western!! This is a great western starring Peter Fonda and Brooke Shields searching for gold.It's a must see flick!!!
