Watchable Three Times
13 January 2007
This film stands out for three reasons: 1) The opening escape from prison is shot at night and by torch light. 2) Good physical action and stunts by Bob Steele, himself a stuntman. It may be Yakima Canutt who did the horse and rider jumping off a cliff into a lake far below. Either way, great! 3) And of course, the 'gay scene' with George (not yet 'Gabby') Hayes and 'Pewee' holding hands and skipping across the street, with another cowboy on the side walk making fey gestures at them with his hands, body and eyes. No 'Brokeback Mountain' this-- Shamrock and Pewee start shooting at him!

The shoot out at the end "Make it fast...this is your last draw," with Flash shooting Lobo in both wrists (shown bloodied), is used again in "Riders of Destiny" (1933) with John Wayne, one of his "Lone Star" westerns.
