BEN JAM HOUSE The Book "Vengeance Trail of Josey Wales" (i.e. the 2nd of 2 Josey Wales Books by Forrest Carter) is pure brilliance. The movie is just okay. It falls short of the book by a lot. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review r 9 An odd thing. Following 10 years on from the release of 'The Outlaw Josey Wales', it's difficult to see why 'The Return of Josey Wales' even exists - especially without the involvement of the original's star, Clint Eastwood. It was hardly going to be a moneymaker, either. I found this 1986 flick to be extremely slow and uninteresting, none of the actors or characters stick out even minutely. Michael Parks is an OK cast on paper, but as Josey Wales he just doesn't fit what we've previously seen from the character. Rafael Campos, in his final film role, would be the one I'd name as the standout if asked, but that's just via a process of elimination. It's the absolute definition of pointless, and to make it even less enjoyable they continue the irritating chewing tobacco spitting thing from the first film. There are also some ultra amateur swoosh-like transitions used, which cheapen the whole thing further. No hate from me at all, but this is a very poor release from the 80s.
