"Well, some men are more dead than others."

Here's something to think about - the title is "Dead Again in Tombstone", but all the action takes place in Silver River. "Dead Again in Silver River" doesn't quite cut it though, so I guess you can overlook the discrepancy. At least Tombstone showed up on a road sign pointing in the opposite direction from Silver River.

Man, this Danny Trejo doesn't stop making pictures. If you look at his cast credits here on IMDb, he's got more than two dozen going in various stages of production that haven't been released yet. The guy is in his mid-Seventies! I was taken with Trejo's look the first time I ever saw him, can't remember which picture, but he's always a blast. It's somewhat hard to figure what Trejo's character Guerrero is in this picture - ghost, zombie, resurrected human? It only adds to the mystery of his persona. No mystery about Jake Busey's character though. Jackson Boomer is just an out and out badass willing to cut down anyone in his way. No mistaking his look either, he's the spittin' image of his father at around the same age.

The original "Dead in Tombstone" had more demonic elements in it, and Mickey Rourke's presence added a bit more spark to the proceedings, but this was almost on the same level with the grim and gritty. And the Devil's Book hidden away in the Bone Box had a mystique to it, maybe more so in the telling than in the execution. What I thought was kind of interesting at the finale was the way Guerrero's daughter Alicia (Elysia Rotaru) gave new meaning to the term 'horny' when she used the old Lucifer Horn on Boomer after the hatchet job she did on Madame Du Vere (Elizabeth Lavender). The girl could hold her own.

Possibly the best, as well as the most ironic line in the film: Alicia to Guerrero - "Didn't we bury this horse?" I think the horse should have gotten a screen credit.
