Well done.
I bought the VHS version many years ago for my husband who loves the movie and the TV series. I have to admit that Gibson did an amazing job of being a Maverick. Loved him and Foster was pretty good as well. A great cast of famous stars and an enjoyable movie.

Not worth it.
It was silly, and it was filled with bad language. The story was good, but the spoken words were awful. Even though BLAZING SADDLES had some bad language, it was much better than this. I am surprised that Mel Gibson helped produce it.

Just a great movie and……
Just a great movie and sort of a remake of the original western tv series. It’s entertaining and funny. Casting to this is superb including James Garner who was in the original TV series many years earlier.

Replacement
A fun watch. Due to space issues upgrading the old VHS to DVD, loving the change and the movies. Impressed with the movie condition upon receipt.
