Audience Member After getting stiffed in an arms deal, Pancho Villa and his men raid a US army weapons depot in New Mexico. Head on train collision was impressive but the attempt at comedy with the fly in the soup in the army mess hall was less so. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member lotsa tongue in cheek humor and gratuitous violence worthy of an Italian spaghetti western, especially for a person who lives 75 miles from the real Columbus, NM Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Inaccurately funny, but who is counting? Pancho Villa, American sailor Scott, and the Villista decide to pay the United States a visit after being ripped off and double crossed. They go into the small town of Columbus and cause a lot of trouble leading to a clash of trains. In reality, Villa raided Columbus and lost a lot of soldiers, but who cares? This only harmful fun right? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member As a comedy, it isn't funny, but it is a stylish comic western, and this is its most endearing feature. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Biopic on Mexican bandit Pancho Villa misfires, especially on unnecessary stabs at comic relief. Fans of Telly Savalas, however, will want to stick around to hear him sing the film's closing number. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Decent EuroWestern (it's from Spain so it's not really a Spaghetti Western) with Telly Sevalas as Pancho Villa. Not exactly historically accurate, but it's entertaining and you also get to see Clint Walker in an uncharacteristically verbose role. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
