I read somewhere on IMDB about a RS western I think was called Hour Of The Gun.
Purgatory 1999 Uli Edel
Nice movie a very good way to pass some time in front of the screen. I didnāt see the SW connection or feeling, but itās also your average western modern or old, it works more like a fantastic film in western style. The shoots outs and characterization are excellent, the acting are pretty much good for a TV film with Sam Shepard and Randy Quaid two very experient actors, Eric Roberts and Peter Stormare (did not know he was from Sweden) are pretty nice baddies and believable ones, the rest of the cast itās just average, but normal for an American TV film.
The story is pretty much predictable but even so a good one, and the director did a good work, always keeping the film interesting, without any lack of pace, he was the director of Christine F and Last exit to Brooklyn so we have some quality here.
In conclusion not a waste of time, by the contrary.
3 out of 5
The Winds of Autumn (1976).
Young boy arrives home to find all his family have been killed, and goes on the revenge path. Acting is poor with routine story, but with good scenery.
The Burrowers.
Posse is formed to find some missing people, and the enemy is a strange kind of fellow. Horror western which has itās moments, but could have been better. Alot of the action happens at night, which made things difficult to see for me even after turning up the brightness on my T.V. Would have liked to have seen more of the creatures earlier on, as did like it when they were all getting killed. Interesting idea though.

A few people have written some things about this movie:
man with a name:
I have seen the Burrowers and have it in my collection it's ok but could have been much better in my opinon. the western elements work better than the horror ones.
Scherpschutter:
Burrow ā n., & v.i. & v.t. (Make or live in) hole excavated in earth, as of foxes, rabbits, etc.
- The Concise Oxford Dictionary
An unusual blend of horror and western. A family of settlers has vanished under mysterious circumstances; people think they have been abducted by Indians, so a rescue party is organized, led by a racist army colonel. I wonāt say itās a masterpiece, but itās well-made and atmospheric and I most certainly enjoyed it. I agree with āman with a nameā that the western elements work better than the horror. Thereās a short, sudden and violent action scene somewhere halfway the movie that is among the best Iāve seen for quite some time in āIndian westernsā: thereās definitely a good western in this director. Iād say the horror elements work well as long as theyāre presented in a suggestive way. The finale is far too explicit, even a bit laughable. Overall Iām a bit more positive than āman with a nameā.
A pleasant surprise, worth a look
Corbucci: Companeros
-Apart from some silliness and continuity problems this is just a perfect film for me. Great cast, great entertainment.
just watched āThe Grand Duelā with Van Cleef for the first timeā¦holy crap!..what a great movie! my only complaint is the music over the closing creditsā¦didnt fit the tone with the rest of the movieā¦the flashback sequences were excellent though
THE SCALPHUNTERS (1968). Hollywood crap and to a certain extent racist as well.
I watched Martin Rittās remake of Akira Kuroswaās Rashomen (1950) today, The Outrage (1964). Having already seen the classic original, I knew it wouldnāt be able to match up to it, but I was pleasently surprised to find, that although it wasnāt as good as the 1950 film, this Western about a rape and murder committed (or was it?) by a Mexican bandit played by Paul Newman against type and very good at it, and the four differant versions of what actually happened, and while it stuck pretty close to Kuroswaās film, it still had a number of interesting points, like the fantasic cinematography by James Wong Howe, the effective editing, good if not great direction by Martin Ritt and Edward G. Robinson as a cynical con-man. It has flaws, but by no means should it be dissmissed as a pale remake.
Didnāt Newman look a bit ridiculous as Mexican?
No, I didnāt think so. i thought his accent was convincing as well.
Was able to watch Hannie Caulder, in takes
Maybe the best of the American āspagsā (the ones made in Europe with American Actors and directors), at least one of the best (from the ones I saw) nice revenge story, nice acting, (fantastic cast by the way). Kind liked the final appereance of the men in black, it was a nice and unexpected toutch.
Have the DVD in a long time bought it almost for the cover, but just now was able to see it, and even so in several takes.
The director makes good use of the Almeria landscape (beautiful land)
I had no problem with the accent either as I only watched the German dub. 
Many, many. many, many years ago.
But I remember it as an ambitious failure. Only the photography was on the level of the original.
I noticed this not only in this one. The American directors made mostly a much better use of the Spanish landscapes than the European directors.
They seem simply to have a better eye for the composition.
My theory still is that most of the SW directors had a zero interest in filming landscapes.
Yep it so seems. 70% have green landscapes.
Never notice, but now that you mentioned quite true, perhaps Corbucci may be an exception I think that at least in the Mercenary he makes pretty good use of background.
Maybe a more theatrical background or influence on European directors itās the cause for it.
And this means ā¦ ?

Well, I watched it in its original English.
I suppose you could call it an ambitious failure, and I do agree that the photography is on the level of the beautiful 1950 film, but its a much better movie than most ambitious failures. I need to dwell on it awhile, but at the moment I think it could just be as good as The Magnificent Seven.
Well, Iām not a great fan of Mag 7 either.
Good but far from great western, which is mainly remarkable for its missed opportunities. Sturges made many better westerns imo.
I actually really like The Magnificent Seven (the fact is was the first Western I ever saw probably had something to do with that), so me saying The Outrage is about as good is high praise.
Which Sturges Westerns do you prefere (I really like his Gunfight at the OK Corral)?
