Texas Rangers is a 2001 United States drama/western film directed by Steve Miner. It is about a group of Texas Rangers set in the post-American Civil War era. Ten years after the Civil War has ended, the Governor of Texas asks Leander McNelly (Dylan McDermott) to recommission a company of Rangers to help uphold the law along the Mexican border. Aside from a few seasoned veterans, the recruits are young men who have little or no experience with guns or policing crime. The antagonist of the story is John King Fisher (Alfred Molina) who is stealing cattle from Texas cattle barons like Richard Dukes and Victor Logan and driving them into Mexico, where he sells them to the Mexican army.
After McNelly and his men pursue Fisher for a while, they fall into a trap, where many of the young and ill-trained Rangers are killed. Defeated and low on morale, the men fall back to a ranch house and attempt to set up an ambush for Fisher. After being double crossed by a woman (perhaps unwittingly), the rangers remain one step behind Fisher and his men. Two of the Rangers follow Fisher and his men to the Mexican border, where they wait for the rest of their company. Once the entire Ranger force arrives, they plan their final attack. In a final gun-slinging showdown, the Rangers face off against Fisher and his men that will either tip the state of the border country in the direction of either chaos or justice.
With origins dating to the earliest days of Anglo settlement in Texas, the Texas Rangers form the oldest law-enforcement agency in North America with statewide jurisdiction. They often have been compared to four other world-famous agencies: the FBI, Scotland Yard, Interpol and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Scores of books, from well-researched works of non-fiction to Wild West pulp novels, have been written about the Rangers. They are part of the history of the Old West, and part of its mythology. Over the years, a distinct Ranger tradition has evolved.

"Now remember, men, your pistol contains six bullets, so before you advance on foot across open ground towards a defended position, remember to fire two of them into the air as a warning."

I think the Sombrero budget nearly bankrupted this film

[@bryanpinto4051]

nobody holds a trigger with that part of the finger

[@the_cursor]

So...Mexican stormtroopers? Thanks for posting this. Now I won't accidentally watch the movie.

[@pantarei8382]

Dr octopus has a weird family tree for a scientist. .. octaivious

[@mattmarzula]

You wonder why you didn't see a movie 20 years ago and a 9 year old video on KZbin reminds you.

[@mattsmt20]

All that stuff he told the Captain about being the better men and taking men to trial and he empties his gun for revenge into King Fisher

[@drelliott2833]

I could have single handedly took on that whole fort and won. But then again I'm a badass!

[@michaelnash1067]

There are two stand out characters... this is either Dylan's chance to "Practice" at trying to act... OR ... Kelso having a wet dream in the Wild West?!

[@somerandomguy1119]

this reminds me of red dead redemption

[@lesliem.dowden2092]

❤

[@mikefranklin1253]

Was this a si-fi flick?

[@toddholm408]

Dylan McDermott ruins yet another movie.

[@kavishkakulathunga6914]

What is the movie?

[@DaveWuzHere]

Announcing that you're out of ammo was a pretty silly thing to do when others could hear

[@udohirschmnn1479]

Dave Here Well, He wasn't.

[@kettch777]

He was trying to fool the guy. He didn't realize he had an empty chamber under his hammer. (Either that or his bullet was a dud.)

[@evanabbott2737]

“I am completely defenseless right now!!!”😁

[@gregdark9980]

Think it was a trick...do get the shotgun guy to get over confident

[@txgunguy2766]

He was trying a trick that Captain McNelly had used successfully earlier in the movie.

[@jimbishop8667]

I've probably seen a thousand westerns...….this is really bad. 1 star!

[@IzzyTheNose]

lol, I was just about to make a similar comment. Alfred Molina really phoned it in here. And Jesus Christ that score is fucking awful. Horribly choreographed shootout. That nonsense with the dynamite and charging the gate was ridiculous.

[@johnboykin3128]

I came here to say, what a shit Western. Looks like I'm in the correct group.

[@barryloughran3632]

make believe can be sometimes Silly and non sensical

[@ianferguson4439]

Camper than a Brighton bus stop 🤔

[@miracledesign7389]

[@forestjohnson2524]

[@johnboykin3128]

World's shittiest Western, ever. For real.

[@donaldtalton1357]

WE BE SMOKIN' DAT GOOD Sh@t in Hollow Wood.

[@willtobin6531]

What’s the name of this movie

[@txgunguy2766]

'Texas Rangers '

[@barnabywild2215]

This was utter pants and unbelievable. What? Men in sombreros can't shoot straight?

[@hadb9084]

More like Americans can't hit shit and Mexicans love tunnels?

[@alvinkarpis5755]

first gay western

[@MrBudcole]

Problem with this film: Soft-faced, soft actors. Nobody would believe in a single one of these manicured actors in their roles. Bad - exceptionally bad - casting.

[@flitsertheo]

If only Sergio Leone could have done the casting.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

Somebody help me out here, please. I don't understand what happens from about 3:10 to 3:40. The third guy to appear (Dunnison?) gets the drop on Fisher (played by Alfred Molina), who is holding his gun on McNelly, the guy on the ground (played by Dylan McDermott). So far, so good. But then McNelly tells ... who? ... to kill ... whom? And why? I can't catch all of the dialogue. There's a long hesitation ... why? Why doesn't Fisher just drop his gun? The other guy standing has him dead to rights. And then -- and this is what puzzles me most -- Dunnison (?) takes a leap into the frickin' air because ... WHY? Fisher sees a chance, takes it, and loses. But why did the jumper give him that chance?

[@topbreak38]

McDermott says, "Kill him, Mr. Dunnison," meaning he is willing to die if it means Fisher is stopped. You're not wrong for not understanding it. The writer, director, and editor screwed up. It's called having bad continuity, bad choreography, bad writing, and a bad movie.

[@sugarnads]

Yeah that was shit

[@LoderMike]

is this the worst casting of any film outside of porn?

[@shooterqqqq]

You don't realize how bad the movie is until you start cheering for the bad guys to win. Then you realize, yep, this is awful.

[@davidlinihan3626]

Lame!

[@michaelashcraft8569]

JUSSST, a little overplayed, and, overacted,,,maybe!

[@SuperPsychoterror]

Looks like a pretty gay movie, I understand why I've never seen it.

[@tat2edsinner]

This movie is terrible

[@julianmarsh1378]

Gosh, another bad western.

[@thirdactwarrior317]

This was about the worst Western I've ever seen. I was surprised I made it all the way through. It really had nothing going for it.

[@gutermonddugehstsostille5592]

I like watching movies, but now I have to insert a word for Jesus: Jesus did not have a revolver and still defeated the devil. Prices go the Lord of the wonderful ways. He was lonely but better because he was stronger with his Heavenly Father. He is the truth who can afford to be defeated. Say a prayer of praise!

[@thomasatkinson6551]

"God" IS the devil.

[@barnabywild2215]

Uhuh? Then why is our world so fucked up?
