Written AND starring Paul Hogan, as the bank robber Jack Kane in the old west! Fun co-stars Cuba Gooding (Jerry Maguire) and Beverly d'Angelo (Vacation). When a bank job goes wrong, Jack takes mute errand boy Doyle (Gooding) with him and shows him the ropes. But Doyle is teaching Jack more than Jack is teaching him! A whole lot of corny jokes. Never really goes anywhere. Tiny part for Roger Daltrey, who didn't have any shows to do that week. Hogan had already done Dundee One and Two, and would make one more a couple years after this! This one is a snoozer. I like what he tried to do, but... oh, did I doze off? Some comanche folklore, which may or may not actually be true. And a five minute training course on how making love to a woman is like riding a horse. It's a bit much. The required bar room brawl. This one is no big deal. Directed by aussie Simon Wincer.
