Dollar For The Dead

Lone gunslinger Cowboy (Emilio Estevez) rides into a small western town pulling a wooden coffin behind him. Pursued by The Regulators, a band of vigilante lawmen led by Reager (Howie Long), Cowboy's only purpose seems to be to use his superior shooting skills to defend those who can't defend themselves against criminals and bandits. When a crippled civil war vet rewards Cowboy with directions to treasure for Cowboy's help, the solitary gunslinger finds himself being trailed by a larger posse than ever before. This stylized tribute to Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns was produced for cable television.

    Commendable but flawed attempt to re-create the spaghetti western style of Sergio Leone, right down to shooting on the same Spanish sets the great man used in the 1960s. Director Gene Quintano also recalls John Woo in the two-fisted action and non-stop gunplay that feature throughout. Emilio Estevez (no stranger to the Wild West after Young Guns and its sequel) comes to the aid of a crippled Civil War veteran, and the pair hitch up to re-assemble a treasure map embossed on four leather holsters. Out to stop them are “The Regulators”, led by Howie Long, and a renegade troop of US cavalry.

    Bloody funny!!! Not supposed to be though.

    I recomend getting this just to watch the chapter when the protagonist is being taken into some room and ends up shooting the whole town up with his neverending bullets. I could not beleve that people we're actually falling INTO the bullets aswell, classy chapter.

    P.S. This came free with my DVD player, its just that good.
