Dalbert Pringle Yep. That's right... I did, indeed, give Boot Hill 8 stars. Yeah. I sure did. And, like - Hey! So what? Eh? And, yes, of course, I gave it 8 stars because, regardless of its unavoidable flaws and inconsistencies, I thought that it was pretty darn good. (Remember - I said "pretty darn good", not "excellent") When it comes to Spaghetti-Westerns of the 1960s, I'd confidently say that Boot Hill was, without question, one of the better produced ones from that particular era.In fact, being the enthusiastic Western fan that I am, I'd even go so far as to say that Boot Hill was easily comparable to any old "Clint Eastwood" Spaghetti-Western that I've ever seen. And, on top of that, I'd also say that actor Terence Hill's overall appeal (and competence) as a movie-cowboy ranked right up there with that of Eastwood's grossly over-rated screen charisma. Yep. It sure did.Besides being fast-paced, well-crafted, and action-packed, Boot Hill was also skillfully directed by Guiseppe Colizzi. And, as an added bonus, this film's editing and cinematography were both nothing short of exceptional.The way I see it, Boot Hill was far from being just another "copy-cat" Western. It sure was. This film (as any worthwhile movie-entertainment goes) contained a solid storyline that (40 years later) still stands tall, on its own merits.Boot Hill's somewhat comical story, which centers around a loner and a traveling circus group who come to the aid of an isolated western town beset upon by a ruthless criminal and his gang of assassins, features male characters with names such as Honey, Baby Doll, Cat, and Mamy.

cowboy12156 I consider myself a movie buff, but I have not seen any of the Trinity movies. I won't let this movie stop me from seeing them when I get a chance though. This movie was terrible. I'm not sure where this movie stacks with the rest of my rated one movies, but I'm sure it's down there aways. Since I rate my movies, I'm forced to sit through some pretty awful movies. I got this movie in a 20 movie pack for $5 in a Wal-Mart $5 bin. So the price was worth it to be able to rate 20 movies that I haven't seen and be done with any of the bad movies that I don't have to watch again and this movie is one of them. I won't say don't watch it because everyone has their likes and dislikes but if you do like this movie, than let me recommend "Jessie James Meets Frankenstein". Or " Napoleon Dynamite rides with the Dalton Gang".

classicsoncall This is a fairly obtuse Western, filmed altogether too dark and muddy that comes complemented by circus trapeze artists, midget clowns and dancing girls. There's also the hint of a homosexual flavor peppered throughout, with two shaggy males dancing cheek to cheek in an opening scene, and glistening male torsos swinging from bar to bar above the big top. It's an odd environment in which Cat Stevens (Terence Hill) recovers from a bullet wound while planning his revenge on an outlaw named Finch and land swindler Honey Fisher, portrayed by Victor Buono.That's about as much as I could glean from my viewing of the film, with the first third of the story a large question mark as to where things were going. It didn't help that a lot of the story seemed to be taking place in the dark, whether by accident or on purpose, with the result about the same, making it difficult to follow. As a result, the final showdown between Stevens and Finch seemed anti-climactic, as did the downfall of Fisher.Maybe a repeat viewing would help, but that's not going to happen.

Tom Willett (yonhope) Hi, Everyone, The DVD copy I have is not great quality. If it were beautifully restored it might be better. My copy gives me the impression the camera operator held the camera in one hand and a candle in the other.The movie might be the best ever Western/Circus/Musical/Comedy/Action film ever to combine Little People, Cowboys, Land Grabbers and Trapeze Artists. It is never as much fun as the Trinity movies I loved.Terence Hill looks OK when it is possible to see him. Usually he is in the dark. The gunfights are passable, but often I had no idea who was the good guy getting shot or the bad guy getting punched.Victor Buono does a fine job being bad.The basic story line is excellent. The cast is fine. The telling of the story is where it falls apart.If you get a chance to buy this one, called Boot Hill in the U.S., I would recommend not buying it. This is that rare old movie that could be remade better today. This could be a good vehicle for John Travolta and Will Smith and Steven Segal (spelling?).Tom Willett, Yonhope
