Pluskylang Great Film overall
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Edgar Allan Pooh . . . is titled THE RANGE FU3D, and is included on a Disc Plaza Entertainment "Made in Canada" product labeled "John Wayne Movie Collectibles, Volume One." Besides RANGE FU3D, Vol. 1 includes THE LAWLESS RANGE, TWO FISTED LAW, and THE LUCKY TEXAN (all crammed onto a single DVD with NO Special Feature Extra Bonuses--not so much as a theatrical trailer or still photo gallery). Since I'd already seen these latter three Wayne films on professionally produced American home entertainment offerings, I did NOT try to sit through an inferior Canadian version of them (which I assume sported title cards reading THE BRALESS RANGE, TWO FISTED AWL, and THE DUCKY EXMAN). When Disc Plaza's clowns at "Cascadia Labs" threw FU3D into their Volume One, they forgot to include the original music soundtrack (except for 16 seconds at the very beginning and 13 at the end). Also missing is Mr. Wayne's hanging, which seems to be the whole point of this story. Somehow, the picture goes out-of-frame at the key moment, after the Duck has been Noosed for his Final Dance. Disc Plaza omits a release year on its Volume One package, but I have a hunch that Vol. 2 is due out any day now. Then perhaps we'll see such Wayne titles as RIDERS OF TIFFANY, KING OF THE PECAN, THE LONELY TAIL, and WINDS OF THE WAISTBAND.
alexandre michel liberman (tmwest) This film is worth seeing, first because of Buck Jones, who is quite good, in my opinion he is the best of the cowboys of the 30's. Also because of John Wayne, for a change playing the young guy, eventually in most of Wayne's film his character would be more like Buck's, but it is fun seeing him in the part that would be equivalent to James Caan in Eldorado or Ricky Nelson in Rio Bravo. The sizes of the hats worn in the film are quite larger than what we are used to see. Also the dresses worn by Susan Fleming look more like dresses worn in the thirties than at the time the story of the film takes place. The fistfight scenes also look speed up and without noise. But one thing you can say about the film: you don't get bored seeing it. But the title of the film you see at the beginning: "Range Feud" ???? Where did they get this name???
bkoganbing Young John Wayne appears in support of Buck Jones in Range Feud as a the son and heir of a couple of feuding ranch families. Seems as though the patriarch of the other clan is shot in the back shortly after Wayne came courting on Susan Fleming who is the daughter of the deceased.There's someone who's mighty interested in keeping a range feud going between the two families, a guy who's been rustling from both families and laying the blame on the other. It's up to the sheriff, played by Buck Jones to figure it out and prevent a miscarriage of justice.Buck Jones had a strong screen presence and a very good speaking voice for sound. He apparently made the transition to sound with ease. This was the first time I'd ever seen one of his films and I could tell why he was a success as a cowboy hero.Although there's not much suspense here, you pretty much figure out who's the real villain in the first few moments of the film, still for western fans it's got all the ingredients, riding, fighting, shooting, and the prerequisite ending.And it's an opportunity to see a very callow John Wayne in support of another cowboy hero.
beejer Competent little "B" oater with Buck Jones as the heroic sheriff and John Wayne as his friend falsely accused of murder. When you see Harry Wood's name in the cast, it doesn't take long to figure out who is behind all the rustling and killing.This was one of the Duke's first westerns following "The Big Trail"(1930). It was the beginning of a long apprenticeship in the "B" western field. His parts became increasingly smaller in the balance of his work for Columbia due to a conflict with the legendary Harry Cohn, Head of the studio.On the video release issued by Columbia/Tri-Star Home Video notice the title card at the beginning. It gives the title as Range Fued. How did that one ever get by the quality control people?
