★★★★★ · One more time Range Busters · jimelena · 2006-11-15
The Range Busters again. I really want to like all they do, they are likeable characters. Here youâÂÂll find more gun shots than script.

Not a bad western, just typical. I prefer the Range Busters with Ray Corrigan - cowboy sized, cowboy voiced - rather than with Pint-sized, squeaky voiced David Clarke.

★★★ · "Trail Riders" Worth Watching · porterville · 2011-06-05
This is well worth watching for those who enjoy "B" westerns. The plot was good, progressing nicely to a satisfactory conclusion. The comic relief was not irritating as it is in some westerns. The actors did an acceptable job in their respective roles.
