Jokey western about double-crosses among schemers that's recommended for simpletons and Van Cleef completists, who must see him in a bowler hat. Go to Full Review

Nick F Dec 28 Comedy Westerns are an acquired taste, and Bad Man's River is unlikely to help anyone acquire it. Despite established star Lee Van Cleef, miscast British actor James Mason and out of place Gina Lollabrigida, the truly irritating soundtrack, jumbled plot and poor script mean this Spanish-filmed project was doomed from the start. Van Cleef is a conman and thief who leads a motley crew in a bid to steal a million dollars from the Mexican Government. Predictably there is much double crossing, and while the gunplay is well staged, there is little else to commend this movie. There might be a worse comedy Western but right now, I just cannot think of one! Reviewed by NICK FLETCHER See more John F 09/27/2024 If there was a 0 star rating this movie would deserve it. If it’s supposed to be funny, it fails at that. It’s not “so bad it’s funny”, more like “so bad it’s pathetic”. The most bizarre thing about it is that actors as accomplished as Van Cleef, Mason and Lollobrigida were involved - truly strange. See more 06/08/2020 James Mason's acting ability is wasted and so out of place in this low-budget spaghetti western. It's really a pretty typical spaghetti western; the only thing worth noting is the different soundtrack including traditional western music along with some modern 70's rock music. See more 05/23/2017 Corn ball western. Worth checking out. See more 12/19/2015 Western has a woman changing allegiances as she plays various men in order to attain a fortune. Always a treat to watch Van Cleef but never got pulled in by the double-crossing plot. Featured several daring missions and unlikely escapes, which kind of reminded of a Western-era A-Team. See more 11/10/2011 Awful film and fails in both genres as a comedy and a western. It's hard to believe several big names were attracted to be in this tripe. See more Read all reviews
