I remember this video.

I thought about it when I bought a Uberti "Peacemaker" knockoff.


The English accents are displacing, and it's a little drawn out(from what I remember) but neat none the less.

Lol which one is you?

[cigsstorenick]

really, not a bad effort at all. a little drawn out, though...could shave a couple minutes of it and it would be better, imo

Yeh I agree, though that is kind of true of most westerns, particularly the older ones.

"A homage to all those cheesy, clumsy and downright awful B-movie westerns. It didn't start out as a parody but, well, it turns out making a western is harder than I thought."- me

Ok I've got a few issues! Who says B-movie Westerns are cheesy clumsy and downright awful? It's a god damn classic movie genre! And the ending from the Good, the Bad and the Ugly which you blatantly ripped off is a seminal moment from a film judged to be amongst the best 100 films ever made! number 4 on IMDBs top 250. Two lists you'll also find Once Upon a Time in the West on as well! Like I said a classic genre from the legendary films of Sergio Leone to the surrealist mystical oddities like Django Kill and El Topo.

They aren't B-movies And are two of my favourite films.

Have you ever seen the TV series Bonanza? That was our main source material. It's so bad it's funny.

The only thing that is similar to The Good, The Bad and the Ugly is the music (well, it's the same). Besides, how can a parody be a rip-off?

The only thing similar was the music!?! I suggest you go and watch the end of The Good, The Bad and the Ugly again. Anyone who knows that movie well wouldn't be able to avoid noticing the the glaring parallels between your movie and that ending. It's the same sort of shots, the same close ups, the same itchy trigger fingers.

Look for yourself

It's just kind of misrepresentative when you suggest that something is a parody of poor B stuff like Bonanza which was supposedly your main inspiration and then produce a film aping one of the greatest shoot outs from one of the greatest films of all time. It's a good question though how can a parody be a rip off or more to the point how can a rip off be called a parody. Maybe you did intend to create a parody, maybe you had forgotten what you'd seen in G,B & U but all you seem to have done is recreated (Actually quite well) that outstanding scene.

[jacknates]

I've watched the scene many times. The things you mentioned- close ups, itchy trigger fingers, are all trademarks of the western genre, and cannot be attriubuted to that film alone. Besides the music I guess another similarity would be the number of people involved, but even then it's stretching it a bit. This is one gunslinger versus two bandits, with two opposite sides. In tGtBatU it's 1v1v1.

I guess the original concept was inspired by the great spaghetti westerns, but it sort of turned out more like Bonanza. Like I said it didn't start as a parody.

Edit- I removed that description in case people get the same wrong idea.
