redonaldson Well, Old Tucson is one of my favorite places on earth, and Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Kris K are classics in their own right. June Carter is fun, too. The track sounds like The Highwayman. John Ford Aside, this is just pure fun. The Sonoran Desert Looks great and there are some fun lines.. "What's an ovary?" "Near as I can tell it's part of their machinery." "Are you saying that you win by dishonest means?" "No Ma'am. I win by any means available." Westerns may have lost some maturity as time has gone by but this is still enjoyable. Anyone who likes westerns and music will enjoy this. It's a treat simply to see some of these favorites in their prime and playing off each other, having a great time.

ervty Where to start? Well, it's a good movie. Very good. And not a 100% shot by shot remake of the 1939 John Ford story. Events closely mirror the 1939 film, but are changed up, almost entirely for the better, so even if you've seen the 1939 film, it's like you're watching a different movie because you're never quite sure what will be included and what will change from the original. In general, the changes are almost all more naturalistic. Without giving spoilers, I will say that Mr. Peacock gets a chance to leave the stagecoach at the first stop, preventing the story from having to carry on the dead weight of an unwilling passenger who has no reason to take the dangerous trip, Buck is changed from the cowardly moron he was in the 1939 film to more of an every-man, and Curley Wilcox is a more compassionate, sensible man, instead of the guy dragging everyone along like he seemed in the 1939 film. The 1939 film was good in its own right, and a classic, but that's no reason to skip over the fact that it had plot holes. My hat goes off to the writers of this movie, who changed it so it's the same basic story, but people act more logically and events happen more naturally. Plus, the dialogue was good. Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash stole the spotlight as the only really recognizable actors (well, musician-actors), but the other, less recognizable actors in the movie held up quite well. And, particularly in the middle of the movie, there were several conversations with laugh-out-loud funny parts in them (at least I thought so!).Now, for why I'd rate it a 9 out of 10 instead of 10. First, I thought changing Doc in the original to Doc Holiday, on his way to Tombstone, was kind of contrived and gimmicky. Second, the movie was a bit lower budget by comparison to the 1939 film, and it had less cinematography and less music (it seemed like there was only one tune in the movie, the one made by Willie Nelson), but that was only a minor disappointment. And third, the conversations between Dallas and Ringo were only so-so, and I felt like Curley and Buck had a more meaningful relationship than they did.But those are just minor quibbles. If you haven't seen John Ford's 1939 movie Stagecoach, you won't be lost watching this movie. And if you have seen his 1939 film, this film is an improvement and a new story, which will keep you guessing what will happen next from beginning to end. Either way, this movie is well worth your money if you see it as a triple-feature DVD in the Wal-Mart Bargain Bin like I did.

pudding-andpie Sorry I'm one of those sad people that loves this film because of it's cheesiness. I adore "The Outlaws" and sometimes that's enough. This is the third version f this film that I have seen and even though I am a huge John Wayne fan, his version loses out by being made so long ago. It was one of those movies I tend to forget when listing my favourites. Then there was Alex Cord (Archangel from Airwolf), blessed with Bing Crosby as Doc Holliday and Ann Margret as "Dallas" that one had some great points. I appreciate that Kris is a bit old to be a "Kid" but hey the whole cast is getting on a bit. This film is a must for those who enjoyed the old Kenny Rogers series "The Gambler", well that was me....actually probably only me.

usskeywest Great Movie (of course I'm bias) the show was produced at a perfect time. The Cast; Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings's, Willie Nelson and company were legends of country music, were brought together by Jack Thompson to remake the original John Ford/John Wayne Classic for television. It received the highest ratings for its time slot when it first aired in 1986.
