Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMichael Ironside said a highlight of the film was meeting composer Ry Cooder: "Ry had an ancient guitar-it was about 100 years old -that he was using for the soundtrack, and it got stolen off the set when we were shooting. That was a priceless guitar that he'd brought in because he was giving Walter ideas on what he wanted to do. We were shooting down on one of the old sets, at the studio where they shot the burning of Atlanta in Gone With The Wind, and there were a lot of other things shooting there, so there was a lot of traffic going through the studio. I remember him coming back at one point, and he was all panicked. I said, "What's the matter?" He said, "I can't find my guitar!" Someone had just picked up his guitar case and walked off. I remember he was so devastated by that. He said, "It's not that they stole it; it's that they won't understand the value of it." He was just gutted by that. It was such a sad day".

Sheriff Hank Pearson: Morning.
Jack Benteen: [snaps] What's good about it!?
Sheriff Hank Pearson: Well hell, I said "morning." I didn't say "good morning."
- Alternate versionsWest German theatrical version was cut to secure a "Not under 16" rating. The VHS release by Marketing Film is cut even more to retain that rating. Only in 2002 the uncut version was released on DVD by Kinowelt.
Featured review
cracking stuff !
They don't make em like this anymore, Walter Hill knows how to stage an "in your face" gun fight, and this movie has truckloads of that. I cant imagine women finding much in this film to entertain them, its a bloke thing through and through.
The film has an engaging story, heist movies are always great, but its conceit of moving the western into the modern era is what really stands this apart. Its got some of the all time great tough guys in it, Michael Ironside , Clancy Brown , William Forsythe etc, and they are obviously having a blast.
If you like the cinematic equivalent of a punch in the face, then this ones for you, its blokes doing what blokes do best, growling macho one liners at each other and trying to blow each other out of their socks. Cracking stuff !
