Yes it's hokey, but dang it's good ta see all them old time actors get tagether even if it's a Willie Nelson movie. 

I reccomend it, it's fun.

With the disastrous performance of Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate in 1980, nobody in Hollyweird wanted to touch the Western genre. All of that changed in 1985 with Lawrence Kasdan's Silverado and Clint Eastwood's Pale Rider. Those two movies really gave the Western a much needed revival, and in the period between 1985 and 1993, we saw some pretty dang good Westerns.

I've seen bits and pieces of Once Upon a Texas Train, and it's a dandy! ;)
A work in progress.

I picked this movie up on vhs at a Peddlers Antique Mall as "Texas Guns" then had a friend pick it up for me on dvd as "Once upon a Texas Train" not much on Willie bashers cause he has made some decent contributions to the western genre. Barbarosa is one of my favorites and if I am not mistaken some of Lonesome Dove was filmed on his ranch.  ;D I guess that was before the IRS caught up with him. ::)

Somebody just had to do it...mention Heaven's Gate. Kinda like Kevin Costner starring in an Ed Wood production of an L. Ron Hubbard screenplay...

Didn't mean to offend by mentioning that particular film.

That was just plain funny DC.  Got ta admit it was a good analogy by RTR.

LOL, my life is full of analogies! Oh, watched Barbarosa this morning, gotta admit, I had forgotten what a good movie it actually is.
