When I first saw "Rustler's Rhapsody" some 20 years ago, I loved the movie, a clever Western spoof with tons of charm, wit, and clever gags. This is not a manic, "Airplane"-type, gag-a-minute spoof. The satire is driven by character and is at times very subtle, such as when angry townfolk surround the hero to berate him for running out on a fight, calling him a "libertine" and a "free-thinker." Rustler's Rhapsody has some terrific moments, and I thought it was hilarious. HOWEVER... the version of this film making the rounds now was edited with a meat cleaver. In particular, the ending was inexplicably changed, and one of the funniest scenes removed. For those of you familiar with the film, it is the scene where Rex, the singing cowboy hero, disappears behind a rock to resolve his problem with "confident heterosexuality" with the barmaid. I say inexplicably because there was nothing graphic about the scene. The scene was critical to the film's resolution, not to mention very funny, and the fact that it was removed nearly ruined the movie for me. Other scenes from the flick have also been removed and/or altered, seemingly to appease conservatives (for example, scenes involving some sort of psychedelic "root" the cowboys found remain in the film, but have been watered down). If I could find the original version of the film I would buy it immediately, but not this watered-down version.Read full review
One of the Funniest Spoofs of the 1950’s Western Movies ... Gentle “Adult” humor gets some really good laughs with a storyline that is thoroughly entertaining! Will become one of your Favorites!

A quite often forgotten comedy that came out in the early 80's. I particularly remember this movie, because I was managing a six-plex movie theatre during college, and this was one of the demo movies that the Surround Sound Installers had included on the test real. Good and fun, and in particular, clean western comedy. Primarily a spoof of the B-Westerns that were produced in the thirties, forties, and fifties. Tom Berenger and several other 80's regular actors, I can not remember all the names, and also stars Andy Griffith and Fernando Ray as bumbling bad guys.
Had seen this movie years ago and wanted to share with someone else. Good cast, great fun, worth a watch. Better than a lot of the sludge coming out of H'wood now.

Very witty spoof on old westerns. I grew up in the 1950s with Roy Rogers on television. This movie completely captures the spirit of those old westerns. Super funny. Great cast
