Last Days of Billy the Kid, Jesse James vs the Black Train


Watched two movies even I couldn't take: The Last Days of Billy the Kid and Jesse James vs the Black Train, apparently filmed back to back. Had many of the same people and same locations. Very cheap. They were just terrible.

The movies weren't like Plan 9 where every problem was blatantly obvious. My impression was that if you were there at the filming, you'd know they weren't Lawrence of Arabia, but you wouldn't realize how bad they were going to turn out.

It was hard for me to tell and this isn't a criticism, but I think a lot of the dialogue was filmed in a studio in front of a green screen. 

I'd feel guilty writing this if director Christopher Forbes hadn't made thirty-eight other movies. 

They had nice cover art.

There was a difference in the user comments on IMDb. There were no clever put-downs. They felt no need to explain or justify themselves. They were brief and to the point. A lot of them paid to see the movies and felt ripped off.

Free on Tubi.
