scoff-1 This movie was shot on the same set as "The Wild One" 1953 Marlon Brando, yeah? It really looks like it. I don't know for sure, can anyone confirm? Motorcycles, small town set, someone help me here. Even the bar looks the same. The storefronts, everything. If it is the same set, what a poor tribute to the original. Most folks these days have not seen that movie, but it is a classic. Brando with his hat skewed, 50 years before Ashton Kutcher did it on "Punk'd". Black and white movies at their best. Beers cost coins. James Coburn is a young punk. Bikers are hep cats. Can't tell if Brando is a beatnik in a leather jacket or Hollywood just wanted the best of both worlds.

gangelljr This is a pretty silly movie, but it is viewable. My main interest is in Hugh Rush Dillon, who happens to be in a Toronto rock band called The Headstones, who also contributed some music for the film. It's unusual and a bit out of character for the tough guy front man, but he is what makes the film OK. I doubt an academy award is in store, but it shows his versatility.

Paul Craven I caught this on HBO late-night. The scenario is pretty interesting. A guy in a wild west show who is a slacker and was just dumped by his girlfriend is forced to take action when some bad dudes cruise into town and start messing things up. There are some good shoot-outs and fights and some funny lines. The best actor in it is Robert Forster. He plays a cranky old tough guy who is good with a gun.

brn0023 When I heard Sean Patrick Flanery was going to star as a cowboy in a western with Lou Diamond Phillips, I was thrilled. What do you get when you cross Young Indiana Jones with Young Guns and throw in a dash of Harley Davidson? You get Lone Hero. It is fun. It is fast. It is furious. With the recent homages to the horror and teen genre, it is good to see that somebody remembered to throw the old western into the fold. It is an homage to Peckinpah and Sergio Leone. The dynamic between Flanery and Phillips works well. The cave sequence drips with tension. Check it out. I'm glad I did!
