5.0 out of 5 stars More Pristine McCoy Movies PLEASE!!!, June 22, 2005

By 

BVT (Paranaque City Philippines) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Texas Cyclone (DVD)

The currently available B western movies of Tim McCoy are far and few in between. Texas Cyclone from Columbia is presently the best of the lot. This is remastered in high definition (whatever that means). For an early 30's film, the images are sharp and clear with nary a sign of deterioration so common among the other economical B western products. Tim McCoy fans are lucky to have this one. But this is essentially being marketed as an early John Wayne western. Duke was not lead man but a supporting character to McCoy. But that's marketing for you. Columbia should release more B westerns kept in their vaults. The two Charles Starret releases are moves in the right direction. Another good Tim McCoy copy is Ghost Patrol by Alpha. The other Alpha Tim McCoy releases strain the eyes. I still have to try the VCI Mc Coy movies though frankly, I was disappointed by their Buck Jones releases which are not of the same high standards seen in Texas Cyclone.

2.0 out of 5 stars JOHN WAYNE IN MINOR ROLE, July 22, 2000

By 

[e-mail] (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Texas Cyclone [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is essentially a Tim McCoy film and a darn good one, too. The "Duke" has a minor, supporting role in it, due primarily to the fact that Columbia's Harry Cohn didn't like Wayne and was giving him bit parts. He later "escaped" to Mascot where he made three serials before landing the Western series at Warner's. And of course, the rest is history. The "Duke" also had a minor role in another McCoy film, "Two Fisted Law," both released in l932.

5.0 out of 5 stars More like this one, please!, November 9, 2005

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Texas Cyclone (DVD)

This one is remastered in High Definition; which proberly means that a great more care was taken during the process. The end result is a sharp, clear, black and white print that may have been filmed only yesterday instead of in 1932, the 73 years differential isn't at all apparent. Infact, if this one had been filmed yesterday the critics would be full of praise for the black and white photography, it's really that good.

John Wayne has a supporting role, (third in the credits after Shirley Grey) but his screen presence is already very evident throughout.

Tim McCoy's steely eyed presence really screams out that he is the star of this one, and rightly so. I've not seen a weak movie with Tim McCoy, oater's maybe, but all have good scripts with good plots. Not so well known today, it is unfortunate that his rising star coincided with that of Tom Mix and Buck Jones, and although he made some excellent films in the 1930's and '40's he was overshadowed by Gene Audrey, Johnny Mack Brown, Roy Rogers, and others, including of course "Hoppy". He left the excellent Rough Riders series to serve his country in WW2 (he was in the Army Reserve) and on his return, as far as I am aware and I must look it up, his movie career then passed into oblivion.

Back to the movie. It is also great to see a 1932 Walter Brennan, his screen presence also grabs you to take notice. It is great to see Bud Osbourne, (not credited) one of the reliable bad guys from yester-year, without all the wear and tear scratches that one usually sees in old "B" Westens from repeated showings.

I only received this one today, then played it, and then I couldn't wait to review it. Highly recommended, buy it, even at the relatively high price for a "B" movie of this vintage, the experience is worth having. The five stars are for the exceptional quality of the print. I would give the film three and a half for story and production values.

It's worth noting, for non Region 1 viewers, that although this one is marked as Region 1 on the cover it is in fact uncoded and will play anywhere in the world.
