Written on August 13, 2003 Summary: Saddle Up Partners..... This review refers to the DVD edition(Warner Bros) of "Bronco Billy"..... Watching this wonderful film you will come to realize that this was a labor of love for Clint Eastwood, who directs as well as stars. He had something to say and said it with this story.It is many things. It is entertaining, amusing, inspiring and poignant. The message is clear. You can do what you want to do, be what you want to be. Eastwood gathers all the usual suspects together and casts them as a group a misfits who all have a special role as part of "Bronco's Billy's Wild West Show", a modern day attempt to bring the wild west back into the hearts of all the "young partners out there". Of course Eastwood is "Bronco Billy", the rootin tootin sharpshooter who runs the show. His problem (besides never having any money to pay the crew) is holding on to a good assistant. Enter one Miss Antoinette Lilly(Sondra Locke). A snobby, wealthy heiress that has just been deserted by her new husband, in the middle of nowhere and she is presumed dead. She reluctantly becomes Bronco Billy's new assistant and learns the hard way, that there is more to life than money. It a great story and an inspiring one also.It makes you want to follow your dreams. Most of the actors are recognizably some of Clint's favorites. They have been in many of his other films like "Outlaw Josey Wales","The Gauntlet", and "Pink Cadillac" to name a few, often working together and they do this well. The cast includes Geoffrey Lewis,Bill McKinney, Sam Bottoms, Scatman Crothers and William Prince. It has a great soundtrack and score, with music by Steve Dorff. Also watch for a cameo performance by Merle Haggard as our bar room buddies brawl in the neighborhood saloon. The DVD is not the best transfer I have seen. This film from 1980 appeared a little washed out, and the colors seemed somewhat dated.(Nothing to take away from the enjoyment of the film though.)It may be viewed in widescreen or the standard format. The sound was good in Dolby Dig Surround Stereo(but could be really great in 5.1). There are subtitles in English and French. Warner brothers...this one is really in need of a remastered Special Edition. (Of course, I always feel that Eastwood films should be given special treatment) Rated PG, it's one for the family but there are some adult situations that border on PG13. also available in a clint 6 pack(but compare prices)The Clint Eastwood Collection (In the Line of Fire/Unforgiven/Bronco Billy/Dirty Harry/The Outlaw Josey Wales/The Beguiled) So saddle up partners and enjoy this ride. It's rootin tootin fun....Happy trails....Laurie  Written on March 30, 2003 Summary: adaveen76 Unfortunately a lot of people don't "get" this movie. WHat's really unfortunate is that they have absolutely no sense of irony. This movie shows the Duke in an amazingly touching and funny way. It deconstructs in a hilarious and sentimental way the American cowboy and indian fantasy. On top of that the sound track rocks. Written on December 23, 2002 Summary: One of Eastwood's Worst Movies... The thought of a lord trying to be funny, is ludicrous, but Clint Eastwood did it. "Bronco Billy" is the best shot in the West, so he says. Watch him shoot plates being tossed up into the air. It's pure ability. Yes! I liked watching Billy jump from side-to-side of a galloping horse. It was almost comical. Good thing there was a bar fight in this movie, it was enjoyable. Why did that noisy blonde woman have to join the show? Those poor people who actually paid money for an already bad Wild West Show had to also listen to her? A lord does make a mistake here and there, Schwarzenegger with "Junior" and Eastwood with this. Oh well. But, as long as Clyde, the monkey, didn't show up, this movie would've been a complete nightmare. Written on February 3, 2001 Summary: MINOR EASTWOOD BUT MAJOR PLEASURE Between two Harry Callahan movies, Warner Brothers used to let Clint Eastwood direct more personal movies. Everybody knew that these films wouldn't be hits, they were little presents offered to the successful actor. Thanks to these minor movies, Clint Eastwood is now considered, at least in Europe, as one of the major american film directors. BRONCO BILLY, shot in 1980, is a good surprise for the Eastwood fan. Starring Sondra Locke, Geoffrey Lewis Scatman Crothers, Sam Bottoms and Clint, the movie has all the ingredients of a good comedy. Witty and heartful. The show presented by Clint and his friends is hilarious and the relations between Bronco and the children very well developed. In Bronco Billy's world, everybody can become what he wants to be ; a shoemaker can become a cowboy, a desertor a master in throwing lassoes and so on. Come join this pathetic world described with tenderness by Clint Eastwood. The director. Widescreen and standard copies, english and french subtitles and an incomplete filmography of Clint Eastwood as bonus features. Rather meager. A DVD zone curious ones.  Written on October 20, 2000 Summary: Not at all the best Eastwood Film to see Clint Eastwood plays Bronco Billy a self styled cowboy who runs a traveling wild west show and along the way he hooks up with a spoiled heiress who joins up with Billy to escape her dull life. Sondra Locke's chracter is totally unbelivable just like the rest of this film. It does remain actually wacthable througout but it certainley not one of Clint Eastwood's best. |
