Member Rating:  
Saddle up the couch for a western that the whole family will love as Texas Rangers go gunning for trigger-happy fugitives, greed causes good men to turn bad, and young cowboys strive to follow in their father's boot-steps. The year was 1935, and it all started when a reporter for Frontier Times Magazine came looking for a story in the small Texas town of Palo Pinto. Drawn into a conversation with two old timers playing dominoes in the local saloon, the reporter learns of the time when two Texas Rangers - a grizzled veteran and a fresh faced new recruit - captured the notorious bandit Smilin' Rob. Later, turncoat Texas Ranger Shane Stocksteal (C. Glynn Praesel) guns down the elder lawman and abandons the Rangers, instead focusing his attentions on becoming sheriff of Palo Pinto. Though he succeeds in his mission, Stocksteal has been hopelessly corrupted. He kills a miner who has struck gold on the outside of town, and when another Ranger comes to investigate Stocksdeal shoots him dead, too. Before the Ranger succumbs to his wounds, he manages to ride back to his ranch and hand the evidence needed to convict Stocksteal to his young daughter Kayla (Joanna Goode). When Kayla is kidnapped by Stocksteal and his thugs, the time comes for a brave young cowboy to finally end the murderous sheriff's reign of terror. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    The following was written by Bob Polunski, Movie Reviewer for the Primetime Newspaper Syndicate. (Reprinted with permission.) PALO PINTO GOLD is told in flashbacks when a reporter (Rodney Lay) from Austin tries to get the story behind the most famous shootout in Palo Pinto from two whisky-guzzling old timers (Roy Clark and Mel Tillis). The movie has violence, but no more than a John Wayne western. Western music on the soundtrack maintains the films pace in scenes between gunfights and fistfights. The punch line ending itself is a surprise you won't expect. PALO PINTO GOLD is like westerns audiences fondly remember as family entertainment. Studio rating: PG-13

    It is not your usual action packed western. But it is a good historiacl movie. The acting and gun fights may be on the cheesy side, but the story line is good. I enjoyed it knowing the Palo Pinto area locally. It was one that the whole family can enjoy. If you are Texas fan of Kinky Friedman, there is one part in this movie you will be happy with. The ending with Mel Tellis and Roy Clark has a good spin. So if you like the western for the history of it check this one out.

    Worst movie I have seen in a long time. Worse than the spaghetti westerns of yore. Only thing decent was the music.
