Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

westernNewt Yes, like many, we fell for the false advertising on the DVD box and paid good money to watch this movie. It takes about 5-10 minutes of watching this movie to realize it should be moved from the 'Western' genre to the comedy category. The movie is more along the lines of a Mel Brooks flick since so much of it is plain laughable! First, exactly how many sheriffs does this town have? And did fat sheriff #4 not get a horse with his job? Instead we see him huffing and puffing after he WALKED to his friend's ranch to warn the wife of danger - that is when he remembered his lines. We didn't know that old west towns had Home Depot windows, used a single person to paint all the business signs and favored the color purple. For all the action this town saw it sure had lovely grass-covered streets. We can definitely see why they needed additional security in this movie since the bank's doors look like cardboard painted by 1st grader who could not color between the lines. We loved the miraculous healing of the dead and wounded. Not only do the dead resurrect and the wounds move to different body parts by the next scene, but they are completely healed by the next scene. The only thing we must note is that the death toll in this movie is pretty low since no one can shoot the broad side of the barn. And finally the hero: the 'sharp' shooter. We are not sure what he was sharp at, but a 'shooter' he was not. We cheered when he finally blew up the pretty little new and blue camp coffee pot from Walmart after going through at least two boxes of shells. As far as David Carradine, he would have been better casted as the dead body in the coffin. I'm sure his training in the martial arts would have allowed him to hold his breath longer and play dead better then the person that held that role. And don't forget the mystery of the long lost daughter - did she morph into the spinster who got all the goods in the end?

umacooter2 Possibly the worst video ever made. Who financed this crud? Criminal use of equipment and bozo talent from the director, down. Even Carradine looks bedraggled and embarrassed for the five or so pointless minutes he's in this bomb. The actors are so amateurish as to be embarrassing. The post-production voice dubbing makes characters sound like they're in a recording studio. The script is simply phenomenally and unbearably childish. Even the costumes are bogus...made-in-china versions of a smattering of different periods, mostly Dollar Store. The buildings are cheap facades or obviously your uncle's vacation cabin. Everyone wears biker's vests...no collars! A few of the sidearms are big and bulky, but this pathetic director has made the saddest Leone attempt in history with enough time, gear, money and people to make at least one blade of grass watchable...and nothing is. Some adults should have manned the equipment and allowed a class of first-graders write and act exactly as they pleased and it would have been "Once Upon A Time In The West" in comparison to this donkey. Actually...maybe it was a bunch of first-graders. Even the beards were stupid looking. Message to director Christopher Forbes: you've managed to make every error in the film world and then some. Learn IMMENSE amounts from this or look for another line of work.

boomeranghandknits I'm not related to anyone in this movie, I myself wasn't in it, and so nobody should be able to accuse me of bias for this crummy review.The acting was bad. David Carradine was bad! The writing was something I could have done in high school drama class as a skit; the scenes were choppy and made no sense. There was one point where a "corpse" in a coffin breathed, which just made me laugh. I didn't get some of the shooting scenes. Really, one guy was had a through-and-through shot in the chest, blood spattering everywhere on the wall behind him, and he dropped like a rock, the next scene he's in he's got his arm in a sling and the bullet's in his arm. Those Civil War sharpshooter rifles were meant to be accurate, but if the shooter is no good the best rifle in the world do you any good.The horses...What can I say? The outlaws' horses looked very well-groomed and well-fed for outlaws' horses. On the up side, they were beautiful horses (aren't they always?).Yes, this was an independent film. Lots of mistakes are obvious, like the lack of sync on the voice and video tracks. Indie films are usually slightly better than this though. I can't even credit Jim Hilton with a good performance, because it wasn't good in MY opinion.I'd like to say something good about this movie, so here it is: While not entirely accurate to the period, the costumes and some props were fairly close. And the "bad guys a-comin'" music wasn't entirely awful. Not great, not awful either.On the whole, don't try it. It's not worth it.

FightingWesterner I'll give this a little bit of credit for not being stupid and not being obnoxious, but a film has to have something to offer other than not being stupid or obnoxious to make it worth watching.I wanted this movie to succeed but the writers seemed to have forgotten one of the first rules of writing a script. Unlike a book that takes place primarily in the character's head, a movie is a story told primarily in pictures.In other words, All Hell Broke Loose has too much talk and not enough action or interesting visuals.The performances of David Carradine and lead actor Jim Hilton are decent, but that's about all this has going for it.What's really and truly sad is that this amateurish production is Carradine's last western appearance, pitiful considering his enjoyable past work in "Kung Fu" and The Long Riders.
