Watch Dead Man's Revenge For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

Just what I expected

Great Film overall

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

"Dead Man's Revenge" opens like a tragedy before it turns into a sly comedy. Railroad speculator Bruce Dern plays a truly villainous bad guy, like Michael Ironsides is cast as the rancher good guy. As things unfold, Luck Hatcher (Michael Ironsides of "Starship Troopers") has a ranch that Payton McCay (Bruce Dern of "The Cowboys") wants badly, so badly that he has his dastardly henchmen gun down one of Hatcher's children. In a grandiose show of villainy, after he has run off Hatcher, McCay smothers Hatcher's wife to death. This western has a good cast, but writers Jim Byrnes of "Gunsmoke" and David Chisholm of "Longarm" have penned a saga that changes horses. Ultimately, this switcheroo western resembles an episode of "Alias Smith & Jones," but it is as well done. Ultimately, the only thing memorable about "Dead Man's Revenge" is the casting of Michael Ironsides as a wrongly accused hero.

Bruce Dern is the bad guy (what a "surprise") and Michael Ironside is the GOOD GUY (surprise!), in this failed mish-mash of a western. What starts out as a gritty revenge tale, eventually deteriorates into a ridiculous swindle scheme. The murky plot is rushed to conclusion, with very little character development of the numerous players. Believability is stretched to the maximum, and beyond the always interesting Bruce Dern and Michael Ironside, there is little here to like. I would have preferred a simple shootout instead of this convoluted western, which tries to be clever but fails miserably.................. - MERK

Not since Gary Cooper starred in High Noon has there been an adult Western like "Dead Man's Revenge" which starred Bruce Dern and Tobin Bell as the "bad guys," it also starred Doug McClure, this was his last movie prior to his death from cancer, he was brave up to the last and always in good spirits on the set! Also in this motion picture was Larry Polsen as the bartender who added so much as a character actor with his distinctive gaunt looks. Herbert H. Booker 2nd (Sarge) was the Piano Player, a ruggedly handsome longhaired bearded character, who like the bartender, added so much to the background colour of this remarkable film. Vondie Curtis-Hall turned in an excellent portrayal of an African-American in the old West in a role that was not servile and demeaning, but pride and dignity to the role of the black cowboy, he would rank with Herb Jeffries, the Bronze Buckaroo! Believe it or not, Michael Ironsides who is the main star is also the good guy! Melora Walters plays Bunny, a strong woman who ranks among Barbara Stanwyck and Kathrine Hepburn. This is a "must-rent" or own movie available on VHS video and DVD. This is the best Adult Western since "High Noon" and "Shane."

Ok. This could have been a good film if it had a total rewrite. And a different director. Plus a few decent actors would have helped. I mean, Randy Travis? As a ranger? PLEASE!! This guy has the acting ability of a seed tick. And the voice of bullfrog that has went 'rivit' one time to many. He needs to stick with what he is good at. I hope that one day he finds out just what he is good at. This was a corny, unrealistic picture about the 'good' prevailing over the 'bad'. I felt like puking.
