Roy’s in for the showdown of his life before he rides off into that sunset!
Acting
It's ok, but had it been a little better it could have brought the movie up to the next level.
Gore
An arm and head are severed, and a women is crushed by her car's hood, lots of gunshpts.
Sex/Nudity
A women is completely nude coming out of the shower, a women is seen topless trying to get her husband to come to bed, and there's a few topless strippers.
Final Thoughts
While by no means a great movie, Cowboy Killer is an enjoyable and entertaining movie throughout. It's one of the rare horror-comedy's that's actually funny more often than not (Though it still has some misses). Although its not overly gory,the cheesy solidly written story is entertaining, and provides a good 80's throwback. I do however feel it's very modest budget hurt it a bit, as i think had it had someone like Bill Moseley, William Forsythe, etc.. it could have made it a true b-movie classic. Still worth your time and money either way.
