WATER HOLE #3

AN ENJOYABLE WESTERN WITH A BAD GOOD GUY OR A GOOD BAD GUY. HOW EVER YOU PREFER TO LOOK AT IT. COBURN IN ONE OF HIS FIRST STARING ROLLS CREATES A CHARACTER WHO IS A LIKEABLE SCOUNDREL WHO WONDERS IF WE TAKE GOLD TO SERIOUSLY OR NOT SERIOUS ENOUGH. IT IS AN ENJOYABLE WESTERN WITH GOOD SUPPORTING CHARACTERS LIKE CARROL O'CONNOR, AND CLAUDE AKINS. IT IS WELL WORTH THE VIEW.

Educational Film?

Watch the film with the English subtitles ON. You will learn a lot about "The (Comic) Code of the West" from the theme song. In his first scene, James Coburn teaches you the dangers of competing with a "Professional Gambler" and he illustrates the best way to survive a gunfight. The "education" continues throughout the film, including the philosophy revealed in James Coburns last line. It is a comic romp that is not dated, it is as funny now as when it was new.

Classic spoof on Western movies

This classic takes the stock western situations and turns them around. The hero doesn't walk down the middle of the street for a pistol fight, he stands behind a horse and shoots the 'bad guy' with a rifle! He would have been killed doing it the 'western hero way'. It is a fun comment on western movies.

Waterhole #3

I hadn't seen this movie in years so I purchased it because I thought it to be a funny movie. After viewing it I realized why this is not a movie widely shown on TV. It's not a bad movie, it's just not a good movie. Coburn is certainly likable as is O'Connor. Margaret Blye is definitely eye candy. But I found the Roger Miller song interjections to be intrusive, distracting & padding. This is a relic of its era; simply Hollywood making the Western irreverent & irrelevant. James Coburn is NOT James Garner who was very successful at doing this. The quality of the DVD is very good but there aren't any extras or bonus features.
