Editorial Reviews

Bronson and Marvin star as murderous half-brothers who are running from the law as well as each other. A climatic confrontation proves to each of them just how mean the other can be. "The Meanest Men in the West" is actually an amalgam of two episodes of the hit 1960's TV series, "The Virginian." In one installment, a wealthy man's daughter is kidnapped by a nasty gunslinger. But the crime is only just a means for the ruffian to draw the tough title character into a blood- thirsty revenge scheme. In the second, a drifter burglarizes the Shiloh ranch. Then an unhinged girl relies on the man to aid in her flight from home.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too expensive for an EP tape., August 8, 1999

This review is from: Meanest Men in the West [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I'd advice anybody to stay away from this tape, even Bronson-fans. Don't get me wrong; it's a fine little TV-western, Bronson's good as always, it's a good cast in general, but the picture quality is not very good. -But that's just a minor problem. In fact, the tape's in the awful EP mode. -And at such a hefty price, too. Very disappointing, indeed. Shame on you "Goodtimes Home Video", for releasing something like this, at a price the double of what it's really worth. It would be nice if "Amazon.com" could note the speed-mode of the tapes.

This review is from: Meanest Men In The West (DVD)

I'm still wondering how in the world Hollywood's two of the best stars got into this terrible mess! What a waste! Charlie & Marvin fans should stay away from this one. Regardless of the reviews that I read from IMDB I bought this DVD last year & I'm still regreting it. Take my advise, keep this away from your collection.

2.0 out of 5 stars At least they tried, October 21, 2002

By 

Deaf Smith - See all my reviews

This review is from: Meanest Men In The West (DVD)

What this is is an attempt to edit two seperate episodes of The Virginian tv series into one story. The story line of two brothers (Bronson and Marvin) and the seperate paths they took would have worked better had there been smoother editing. It becomes most painfully obvious during the final five minutes. Beyond that, if you would like to see both actors in their earlier years, rent if possible.
