hell on the border and on the screeen - Hell on the Border review by CP Customer
Hi everyone
This film is rubbish. It has uneccessary gore, laughable scenes, melodramatic chat in volumes and is totally bland in presentation.
a short 4' 10" guy lifting a 20 stone man off his horse onto his shoulders to get him out of a mud sink hole - then going back to lift out the horse was, - very funny and ludricous.
Our 'hero' gets shot in the belly, grits his teeth and goes on to catch and kill the bad guy. Really? A gunshot wound to the stomach during the 1800's in the wild west (gutshot) was usually fatal) - not our hero.
The average colt firearm (sixgun) as intimated has 6 shots - our badman manages 12 shots withour reload.
Too many distaste full use of the word nigger - negro would have sufficed.
To me this was just a lot of patronising junk, which if based on some sort of facf, did no favours for the genuine article. Not Recommended.

Just Awful - Hell on the Border review by CP Customer
Watched 15 minutes of the film and then pressed the eject button! Horrendous production, wooden acting and a music score that’s so loud you can’t hear the dialogue not that it really mattered as the script was dire. Don’t bother with this.
