This is slapstick, physical comedy. Imagine if Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner came to life and started chasing each other. It's a playful, childish style of cowboy comedy and a classic. It's fun to watch Kirk Douglas, Ann Margret, and Arnold Schwarzenegger in this film. It is not in the same style as Blazing Saddles or Rustlers Rhapsody, which are adult comedies. I love all three movies, but just because they're Western themed they are not in the same category. Was this review helpful? Yes

Was a very funny and light western. It shows Arnold playing the dumb hunk in comedy way before he became a big movie star. It runs on the Road Runner theme where Ann Margret and Arnold are trying to make their way. At the same time, the evil Kirk Douglas (very funny actually and you begin to want him to get them) tries to take the beauty away for himself, but he only gets hurt time after time. It is a nice, if light, comedy. Was this review helpful? Yes

slapstick, physical comedy. The acting is just passable, the plot is simple, and the rest is just meant to be funny, ridiculous, but funny. It's fun to watch Kirk Douglas, Ann Margret, and Arnold Schwarzenegger in this film. Was this review helpful? Yes

Slapsticki with laughs once you're in the mood. Reminds you of
roadrunner and wily Coyote quite a bit. Don't be serious, lean back and enjoy the scenery, especially Ann-Margaret Was this review helpful? Yes

What would Mel Brooks do if he were asked to make a western "Road Runner" cartoon movie? Director Hal Needham does his level best to answer that question with this slapstick comedy. Personally, I loved this movie and I recommend it highly to anyone in need of a good laugh (of course, if you're a stuck-up prude, then you probably won't think this movie is funny).

I first saw this in 1978 and just about died laughing!--It really was funny back then to see a real live goofy movie. Now, some may think it too slow moving, but it is still worth renting for sure-My husb thought I had made it up!
NO after all these years they had it!!! Talk about a rare find!! Thanks!! Was this review helpful? Yes

This is a good movie that flies under the radar of most slapstick comedy's. Kirk Douglas is brilliant. I watched it when i was a teenager and just re-watched it for the first time since then. The writing and effects are definitley dated but that doesn't really hurt the movie at all. Was this review helpful? Yes

It wasn't as good as Blazing Saddles, but a little more wholesome. The mountain tunnel scene was hilarious, straight out of Road Runner. Was this review helpful? Yes
