Rustlers' Rhapsody (1985)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

To me, this movie is perfection.

Absolutely brilliant

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This movie was really surprising to me. I thought it was going to be a wacky parody of those cheesy old west movies of early Hollywood. It turned out to be more of A comedic expose/documentary about that film era. That is what made all the more fun to watch! Tom Berenger plays Rex, the singing cowboy, who's function in life seems to be to go from old west town to old west town meeting virtually the exact same type of people and situations to the point where he "knows" whats going to happen before it happens. GW Baily plays the town drunk , turned sidekick of Rex, who follows along with astonishment of Rex's cornucopia of old west lore. The supporting players like Andy Grifith and Mary Lou Henner also make stinging observations about the old west movie clichés. One of my favorites scenes is when the evil underlings of Grifith kill their evil boss henchman and bring his dead body to Grifiths house. Grifith asks the unexpected, but really obvious question, "Why don't you bury him? This is A Home, people live here!". It was really a funny scene. This is not a perfect movie and does have some flaws but overall I recommend watching it. You may be pleasantly surprised at the direction this movie takes. Its not what you think it will be.

It was over 20 years ago that I first saw Rustlers Rhapsody, being screened on late night TV to an audience of few it became in my house anyway, an instant classic.Sure, all of the jokes don't work, name me a film that is funny all the way through...but this gentle send up of the genre deserves a far better rating than it has.The premise is simple....how would a 40's Hollywood cowboy, admirably played straight and white hatted by Tom Beringer, fare in the real wild west, up against the evil cattle barons and landowners.From the early scenes in the saloon where we are introduced, sadly ephemerally to 'Blackie' and the rest of the main characters, Rustlers Rhapsody takes us on a gentle ride through western clichés where all characters are totally 2 dimensional and played to perfection by the ensemble cast.Memorable line for me was always Blackies famous uttering 'You look to me like one of them fellers thats attracted to other men' (paraphrased)Outstanding entertainment for a cold Saturday afternoon!

i found this movie quite entertaining,and even amusing.i didn't think it was laugh out loud funny,(i don't think it's that type of movie)but it was still a good watch.it's a send up(spoof) of the western genre).one thing it pokes fun at is the strong macho image of the good guy.if you've seen many westerns,you'll get a lot of the jokes,some of which are accurate,and some of which exaggerate things a bit,or even a great deal.i've seen quite a few westerns,but even if you haven't seen even one,you'll likely still find the movie amusing.the movie is short,at under 90 minutes,and goes by very quickly.for me,Rustler's Rhapsody is an 8/10

The funniest Western spoof ever, and yes I have seen "Blazing Saddles", What makes it so is the running plot of the "Good Guy" and his never wavering bravery and honor...the jokes are both overt and subliminal, but they actually make you laugh, not cringe,(as in "saddles") An adult can laugh his Ass off, and still feel OK letting his eight year old view along with him. .....Also for those of us who grew up with John Wayne as our hero, don't miss the closing credits song "The Last of the Silver Screen Cowboys" By Rex Allen Jr. If you can remember sitting on a Saturday afternoon in a cinema as a kid in the 40's or 50's, or in front of the TV with dad in the 60's or 70's watching the old westerns this song is sure to bring a tear to the eye...Enjoy this off the wall treat!!
