An interesting and incongruous mixture of martial arts and old fashioned gunslinging happen in this western of Ghost Rock. The film is so named after a town where Gary Busey is the town boss. He's having some threats to his leadership coming and he's brought in a group of outlaws as enforcers headed by David Jean Thomas who look like they enjoy their work. Our nominal hero is Michael Worth who can use a little training in both the martial arts and firearms. He's aided and abetted by Sharon Stone ripoff Jenya Lano.The film is poor in about every department you can name. I guess you either needed the late David Carradine for this kind of hybrid film or Chuck Norris in his salad days.
... View MoreIt wasn't an original idea, the thought of combining the martial arts and western film genres into a single project. It's been done before: Kung Fu with Davind Carradine, The Fighter aka Savate (a straight to video film by Oliver Gruner). However, none before were this horrible.For starters, the acting was wooden throughout the entire film. The only recognizable actor was Gary Busey, and I truly pity him for having to resort to this kind of crap to pay his rent. It is such a fall to a truly talented actor.Then there's the so-called martial arts in this. Holy crap, can none of these "martial artists" really do martial arts? It's almost as bad as most of Bloodfist! I've seen children who are more impressive martial artists than these people! The only possible upside to this entire thing is that the two lead actresses were very attractive, and this certainly isn't enough to carry a movie, especially if the viewer has any appreciation for acting talent.At all costs, DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!! You will waste valuable brain matter if you do! For the sake of your intelligence, do not watch this!!

This is THE film for those who have been previously indifferent to his craft. Whilst numerous of Busey's previous performances have entertained no small degree of greatness, it was not until this milestone in his career that the full extent of his abilities were demonstrated so fully and so deftly. Delivers in a way that reduces the likes of the magnificent seven and unforgiven to nearly rans in the race for the ultimate western. Needless to say, ten out of ten, i loved it.
... View MoreAwful acting, awful plot (wait a minute, what plot?)This movie begs the question, How do movies like this get made? I guess somebody gets a bunch of b-list actors together and they throw in a washed up Busey an expect the movie to be good? Anyway the setting for this movie was at a state fair just outside of Hilljack county. The costumes were clearly stolen from a discount western clothing store. The storyline was going to be used for porno, instead they decided to keep it on clean side.Please, don't waste your time with this movie. I beg you your life will thank you!!
