Product Description
From Amazon.com
This curiosity from the mid-1970s is breathtaking in its dreadfulness. Directed by Hal Needham, this was an attempt at creating a Roadrunner cartoon with live actors--except that instead of a live actor they got Arnold Schwarzenegger, before Hollywood smoothed his rough edges (and his Austrian accent). He plays the invulnerable sheriff who rides blithely through life, unaware that the evil Kirk Douglas wants to kill him and kidnap his squeeze, Ann-Margret. The stunts are cartoony without being funny and Schwarzenegger shows exactly why he was known as "the Austrian Oak." Douglas works extra hard but effort alone isn't enough to elevate this script. --Marshall Fine

4.0 out of 5 stars
A fun surprise,
By
This review is from: Villain (VHS Tape)
My husband and I watched The Villian the other day out of curiousity and we were pleasantly surprised with how much fun it was. There were plenty of laughs and then it kind of just ended. I love the whole idea of Arnold as Handsome Stranger, Paul Lynde as the Indian chief and Ann Margaret as the super sexy, beautifully dressed, hot to trot young woman. If only Mel Brooks would've had a chance to co-write this movie, it could have been a classic like Blazing Saddles. It just didn't have enough funny stuff, it was short on story and it didn't have an ending. I thought it was still worth watching and a lot of fun.

an all time favorite,

This review is from: The Villain (DVD)
This is one of my most favorite movies. It actually is a family favorite. We made our original "beta" copy when it 1st appeared on cable in the early "70's-. Arnold, Mel Tillis- Ann Margaret, Ruth Buzzy-- Kirk Douglas - (he was amazing) Paul Lynn- Who am I missing-- Oh yeah the horse Whiskey - and road runner- This was hilarious in the 70's and still is. - As we showed it to all of our friends in the 70's-- we present it to all of our friends now- every one must see "The Villain" over and over and over.- cant get enough of it.

I first saw the movie years ago and thought it was hysterical. Sadly this release crops the movie -- if it were widescreen I would buy it in a heartbeat.5 stars for the movie, -2 for poor DVD.
