★★★ · fullscreen or letterbox? · guyzilla · 2009-09-22
I have never seen anything like this submitted before. One minute it's letterboxed and the next minute it's fullscreen. Looks like someone had re-edited this from pieces of different prints of this film to put together a complete movie. It's a Franken-western!
★★ · Eccentric and Bawdy · bearpuf · 2009-04-01
Fighting, sex, mass zany behavior of the entire town and ecclectic music hallmark this potpourri of disjointed storyline. It's a little humorous in a light-hearted way, but barely worth the time to watch it, even if James Caan did become a pretty good actor eventually.
★★ · a fine example of 1970's smug liberalism · plobplob · 2010-02-03
A bored and smug liberal attempt to critique and undermine the Western genre, Gone with the West rips off Blazing Sadles and Support Your Local Sheriff but without the humour of either. The glib hippy sentiment of the movie, that street theatre can win against a town gone evil is itself crtiqued in the Zombie classic "Messiah of Evil": where a character is eaten alive in the cinema by the townsfolk while watching a trailer for "Gone With the West".
