Amazon.com: This curiosity from the mid-1970s is breathtaking in its dreadfulness. Directed by Hal Needham, this was an attempt at creating a Roadrunner cartoon with live actors--except that instead of a live actor they got Arnold Schwarzenegger, before Hollywood smoothed his rough edges (and his Austrian accent). He plays the invulnerable sheriff who rides blithely through life, unaware that the evil Kirk Douglas wants to kill him and kidnap his squeeze, Ann-Margret. The stunts are cartoony without being funny and Schwarzenegger shows exactly why he was known as 'the Austrian Oak.' Douglas works extra hard but effort alone isn't enough to elevate this script. --Marshall Fine

Rating: - Amazon is great-but this movie was not!
The video was received promptly and was in very good shape.
I guess my disappointment was that this movie was just not as funny
as I used to think it was!! Must be my age!
But I have absolutely no complaint against Amazon--I LOVE doing business with you!
Rating: - The Villain
An excellent movie; probably the best comedy for Kirk Douglas. The action gets predictable, much like the Wiley Coyote in the Roadrunner cartoons, but still very funny.
Rating: - The Villain Product Review
I've been very satisfied with this used DVD that was purchased through the auspices of Amazon. The product arrived in a very timely fashion, was well packaged and played well on our DVD player.
Rating: - great movie
If you liked the road runner/cyote cartoons then this is the movie for you. I haven't laghed out loud like I did watching The Villian in a very long time. Get it and Enjoy!!
