(revised 3/16/10)
At some point, MILL CREEK ENTERTAINMENT's MEAN GUNS 20 MOVIE PACK underwent a revamp. Cover art was changed and four foreign-made westerns were deleted in favor of some ancient hour-length programmers.

MILL CREEK box sets offer good-to-average-quality audio and video transfers of public domain material at a most reasonable price.


TOUGH GUYS OF THE WEST is a similar set of films.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good value, April 6, 2007

There are a number of pretty good westerns in this five disc collection of 20 western motion pictures, however these movies have not been digitally remastered, nor has the Mono sound been converted into digital Stereo surround sound. DTS would have been nice :)

The Italian western 'Any Gun Can Play' staring Gilbert Roland as 'Monetero', George Hilton as 'The Stranger' and Ed Byrnes as 'Clayton' is well done, coupled with being in 'real' (((wide-screen))) makes this 1967 picture nice viewing.

The 1976 movie 'Mad Dog Morgan' begins in the 1850's Australian gold fields, quickly progressing to the Aussie prison system and expanding to the Outback. This very interesting film stars Dennis Hopper of all people, along with a fine Australian cast. The untamed Australian wilderness is used as a stunning backdrop throughout the movie. 'Mad Dog Morgan' is shown in 'full screen'.

The price for this movie collection is just right!

5.0 out of 5 stars A wholly different set of westerns, July 1, 2007

What makes these foreign made westerns so different from American made westerns is the grit--lots of grit. Keeping clean was not a priority or a possibility in the real West, nor is it in the so-called spaghetti film or those made in Spain or in Australia. So in that sense, the films in this pack are more realistic than Gunsmoke or Gene Autry or Roy Rogers productions. It should be noted, however, that the actors have sparkling snow capped teeth, a fact which stands out in faces that often appear as if they have been slathered with axel grease.

The plots are uncomplicated, which is similar to the American westerns. Bad guys are faced down with good guys and defeated. It's as simple as that. It's just that the good guys are a little more tarnished in the spaghetti westerns. There's little or no love interest to complicate things, and you almost always know exactly who the bad guys are by hat colors and facial hair.

In the most notable film of the lot, "They Call Me Trinity," Terrence Hill (an Italian with an Americanized name) is the best gunslinger that ever was or ever could be, and he has a shirt so sweaty and dirty that it should be put in the Smithsonian. He is so talented with a six-gun that he can shoot people behind him without looking. Honest. Along with his half-brother, an ersatz lawman, they seek to rid the un-named town of villains so that a group of religious settlers can live in peace. There's considerable comedy, to the point that this is a spoof of the western, almost a spoof of itself. The fight scene near the end turns into pure camp. There's never been a slugfest like that.

Dennis Hopper has the title role in "Mad Dog Morgan," a film made in Australia about the real 19th century bandit, Daniel Morgan. In Australia today there are historical markers to show Morgan's grave site and other places where he made his name as a murderer. The movie is a little disjointed, but it is of interest and has great scenery. Morgan's sidekick is an aborigine, sort of like Tonto to the Lone Ranger.

Anyone with an interest in western action films with a touch more of realism should have a look at this collection. It's worth the price, certainly. But art it is not.
