I had forgotten how campy this movie was. The sound effects were really amusing. I saw this at the Houston Premiere in 1966 with my mom and aunt. Dean Martin was there in the movie theater. I guess I remember that more than the actual movie! LOL But it is really fun to watch on a lazy Saturday morning.

When this film was made back in 1966,I don't think there was a "genre"of film parodies,I guess they just called them "comedies".Well welcome to the earliest western comedy I can remember.Even before"Blazzing Saddles"which I consider the gold standard of western comedy.Except for some very poor editing and super imposing,its a well made film.That might be my only complaint.There are many funny Texas jokes and some funny if a little politically incorrect,lines as well. But the real fun is the casting of Dean Martin and Alan Delon,both of whom played serious roles in major westerns.Martin earlier in "Rio Bravo" and Delon later in "Red Sun".You also have to LOVE Peter Graves as Capt. Stimpson in a hint to the comedy yet to come from this fine actor.Even Joey Bishop as a Indian named Kronk is low key funny.Finally Michael Ansara as Iron Jacket,a Comanche chief is funny.The rest of the cast works well also.So if your looking for a good funny western parody and have already seen "Saddles"check it out.It's worth a few laughs. Especially jokes about that"poison black water"

I saw this movie as a kid, growing up in Texas. This was a funny movie and my entire family enjoyed it. I didn't appreciate the gist that people who think this movie is funny is somehow dimwitted for thinking so. Having said that, I haven't seen the movie since childhood and don't know if I'd find it as funny as an adult. I'd be anxious to find out should I ever see it again. I remember, to this day, some of the punch lines from the movie. My family and I gathered around to watch and enjoyed it so much. It was like being at the drive-in theater, with popcorn and the works. Dean Martin was simply a funny character as well as the guy playing the Indian. I don't remember his name, but they were great together. Like I said, this is all from childhood memory, so if I see it again, I'll write another commentary if my view has changed.

I'm not a big fan of most Western movies but I do enjoy comedy and as this was a comedy Western I found myself enjoying it.As with most comedy movies, I am reluctant to give details about any of the scenes because if I were to tell you now then you wouldn't find them funny once you watch the film.Let's just say that Dean Martin (as Sam Hollis) and Joey Bishop (as Kronk) make quite a team. In fact everyone involved in the movie provides plenty of laughs. Everyone is playing a total buffoon.If you don't like Westerns but do enjoy comedies then I strongly recommend this movie.
