"I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy."

[@matthewwilson9656]

That's what Bob said

[@the_rover1]

Wasnt' that "but I did not KILL the deputy" as far as I remember?

[@ChazLeeRox]

I tip my hat in respect to the entire cast & crew! Mighty fine job gentlemen.

[@Jeff-ne1lh]

That rooftop fall was a good gag don't see that much anymore.

[@mediamattersismycockholste562]

Finally, something to replace all those Star Wars lightsaber duels..

[@lyndonbrookins5300]

LOL!!!!

[@harrisquicksilver6595]

Finally a video that doesnt suck and doesnt look and sound like it was filmed on an iphone.

[@AussieTay23]

What a brilliant short film! I rate 11/10! Loved this so much, and can I say that the acting & stunt work was phenomenal 🙌

[@JB-yb4wn]

There are numbers higher than 11, you know. Yee Haw!

[@dannyfisher6681]

Yep!

[@JB-yb4wn]

@nedkelly3436 I am not an ignorant Yank, I do know what it means, it is like giving 110%. FFS go back to your window licking.

[@pillowcatt]

Woahhh, the action sequences are fantastic! You always know it's good when the stunts leave you wondering "How the heck did they pull that off?" Love this!

[@JWheeler331]

That sure was some fancy gun play. Love the deputy’s hat.

[@moodykrazy1302]

I'd run a scenario for free!'

[@rhonferry6853]

Very impressive action choreography.

[@gavinator.3587]

The stunt work was incredible! Much better than I'd ever expect from a short film.

[@austinyoder5247]

The special effects are flawless, feels like a real movie

[@chrisharrell5945]

Right!! was great

[@myrnaskogland1268]

Well done cast and crew, done in the true spirit of the West.

[@erik1836]

This is the second of your brilliant, wonderful shorts, Michael, (The Dentist being the first) that I have watched and you did not disappoint. Remind me never to make you angry when you are near a gun! Keep up the good work you, your talented cast and crew are producing for us because, we inquiring minds want to know what we don't know! My other favorite in your genre is The Gunfighter, which is soooo fabulous with its use of humor.

[@desert_jin6281]

That is a better story, writing and cut than about 9 out of 10 Hollywood action movies. Applause !

[@appalachianexploration5714]

Absolutely fantastic film everyone involved on every level! Wow! As an Appalachian cowboy and someone who lived in Arizona for years, I certainly do love a good western.

[@BrentTouchstone]

This was awesome and something to aspire to. Makes my first western short look like a kindergarten project. One day I will work with a crew like this instead of writing things for one or two people projects.

[@НиколайМалеченко]

7/10 the scene where he uses the guy as a human shield still blinked i dunno man but good short film

[@D1stDrInternet]

He did earn it Mr. MBR. Just got to watch this one a few times!

[@lifeinpapuanewguinea]

The reason I subscribed was because for a short film the action and gunplay was equal to none. This is by far the best short action movie ever! Keep it rolliing!

[@karlwarner1348]

I discovered your site just yesterday. I have never left a KZbin comment before for any KZbin site either. Michael these are 1st class mini-movies. My friends are impressed also. The stories (The Dentist) combined with your high quality camera work/action sequences keeps you on the edge of your seat. Please keep on doing what your doing. The Actors and Crew should be very proud of what they have created. Very Groovy.... KW

[@Methadone4Life]

Ditto!!

[@NothingMaster]

They killed more people in this short movie, than Clint Eastwood killed in his entire movie career. 😂

[@danielcain1118]

And a rip roarin' time was had by all! Great video. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@joseywales8277]

Thats some good shit here. I'd like to see a full length movie from these guys. Great job.

[@lonewolfbikergear2937]

Damn great job. Better than a lot of the newer Hollywood westerns. Eventually I would like to make my own westerns or work with someone already set. I have ideas.

[@wimsele]

Excellent short fella's! Great choices and work in all departments. A joy to watch.

[@D1stDrInternet]

He did earn it Mr. MBR. Just got to watch this one a few times!

[@PumpiPie]

Soo good. Should have millions of views :/

[@BadKarma714]

I would like to see more of your short films if you’re ever in Southern California maybe you can do a short film at Knotts berry farm and I would like to volunteer and help.

[@michaelellams9105]

As an Aussie who loves westerns got to say that was awesome well done to all.

[@jackdeth37]

Pretty cool film! Although I think the Deputy should have punched the Sheriff in the arm to say thanks!

[@ryancawdor8083]

The sheriff, Mr. Woods and his wife Heather (outlaw girl) are a regular on Arizona Ghostrider's channel and frequently do live shows on that very set.

[@Kobor_Tamas]

Bravo! But... at 3:20, the deputy's right hand was injured. At the end, his hands are unharmed. Why? I missed something?

[@AlexaLake7]

Another great short by MBR. It grasped my full attention for every second of the film.

[@rocketracoon9424]

Is that John Wick ancestor ?

[@smallfoxstudios]

Oh my word, that was epic!! I hope I can work on projects like these someday!!!

[@ELFATTYLOCO]

You only got 18k subscribers!!! Dude when i saw these vids i thoght you would have around 100,000.These videos are danm good i just watched them all

[@michaelbrianrawlinsactor]

Thank you for the kind words! I’m trying!

[@mcschneiveoutdoors3681]

Dang.. I’d like to be the undertaker in THAT town!

[@firestarter1567]

Amazing!! Cant wait for the TV series!...

[@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164]

It will be "Woke", it will suck and not in that fun, spanky way.

[@livyintheskywithdragons]

Those shorts are amazing!! Please make some more ❤❤😍😍

[@laurajanetexascigarmaven6788]

Bravo, gentlemen. Ya done yerselves proud with that bit of film!

[@DavidMartinez-ce3lp]

This was awesome! Honestly, i could see this as a full length film. But at the same time, y'all did a better job than a lot of modern full length films.

[@iamrichrocker]

Hollywood needs visionaries like you...

[@mohannarayanan9649]

Short films have become so good ..

[@michaelclemons8298]

Man! You are doing some great stuff. Somebody get this man a Hollywood contract. 👍👍

[@Abzy886]

The moment when he hits his own guy with an axe 🤣🤣🤣

[@peachypie8018]

thanks for this, his dad would've been proud.

[@atlantianson515]

Love all the vids you've posted. EXCELLENT Work put into all of them. Love to see more!!! Keep your boots on and your six shooter loaded!!! Can't wait for more videos! Thanks!

[@charylliss1721]

I'm 68 years old and I've seen gun fights from El Dorado to Kung Fu to Equalibrium. Yours was one of the best, most interesting most impressive I've seen yet GREAT WORK, GENTLEMEN 🎉

[@toddy2519]

Loved the deputy's "Stagecoach switch" gun handling from one hand to the other! I gave it a "like" and subbed. Thank you Mr. Rawlins for such fine entertainment.

[@jerseyred9554]

Woahhhhh pard, ..... That was wicked kool

[@krb5292]

Wait until you see Day #2, kid.

[@bradnutter41]

Just blown away, no Amateurs here! Everything about it was as good if not in my opinion better than feature Films. Awesome

[@hitman5782]

"Hey, darling how was your first day on the new job?" "Well..."

[@ReyBanYAHUAH]

Always remember we must repent of our sins (sin is transgression The Law Of Yahuah The Father in Heaven. The Law are The Books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy). We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins! Come to HIM🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@dawnmccormick9387]

Enjoyable to watch.

[@ryansullivan4298]

Great job! I love that place.

[@thenebraskan6977]

What an awesome and amazing film. Everything was superb!

[@dt7065]

This was a terrific short. great acting and stunts. comparable to big budget movies. What an explosive ending..

[@StephenJEscobedo]

Y'all had way too much fun making this one!

[@michaelarrowood4315]

Great video! Pushing all the boundaries of the Hollywood Western movie shootout tropes, including I few I hadn't even thought about. (Dynamite finale... whoo-boy!) :) New cinema, indeed.

[@guyfox1206]

That Was Awesome!!

[@joeygar1]

Loved it..... great casting, will written and well directed. Everyone was great........... thank you.... hope you keep making more films like this one.

[@lonelion924]

Great fight scenes! I loved the energy conveyed

[@craigwilliamdayton]

I enjoyed this very much. Thank you for making it.

[@karlbrady5453]

GREAT movie

[@betonarchese]

Nice hat Jerry. Great video.

[@azdesertdog]

Old Tucson Studios nice. Good to see it. I liked the Indiana Jones style rope v lever action gag.

[@jimlassiter749]

Fantastic except the end where the deputys right hand gunshot wound mysteriously disappears.... Make more please.....

[@wickedchef]

Great Short film. Action & choreography absolutely well done.

[@cowboygeologist7772]

Excellent!

[@hogtied12]

fight scenes were really good well done

[@theultimatehunt]

First time in my life of 31 years, I've seen a cowboy pull out a whip and use it as a weapon

[@fylosofer]

So you haven't seen High Plains Drifter then.

[@theultimatehunt]

@@fylosofer give it a watch

[@HootOwl513]

Lash LaRue's weapon of choice in the '40s matinee westerns. Later he taught Harrison Ford for some Spielberg movie.

[@ragrag5470]

God, I love short independent movies. So much better than what Hollywood has to offer these days! GREAT JOB!

[@cookworms]

Dear MBR, We need more stuff like this. You blew my mind. It's phenomenal.

[@rosrider93]

This one is much better than other wild west films in the Hollywood. Great job👌

[@dartdom]

Brilliant Again, how much practice is enough practice? Bring on the feature length, action packed adventure. You've earned it. 🤠

[@raymondfrank9202]

good one

[@josephharris3001]

Brilliant!

[@damocsell]

Great short video I would enjoy much more if it ever became available.

[@mrshifter8220]

Kept me watching.....not into the fancy gun play, just didn't happen that way.........seen better, seen worse.

[@AnthosKlox]

The Deputy got shot in his right hand (3:05) and then at (6:10) there's not even a hole in his hand left! Miraculous healing took place during the gunfight... Relatively good concept for a short action western but falls short on the logic and technicality of the Deputy's wounded hand.

[@Prof.Tarfeather]

Wonderful Coreogragphy played out here in what must have taken months of practice to execute timing .I so enjoyed watching this.

[@damonbrown5233]

Seeing the stunt show cast of Trail Dust Town doing a non comedy was pretty cool. Thought he was going to toss Heather through a window for a second, but I'm guessing you weren't allowed to break one. 😁

[@oneandahalfdreams]

Brilliant. I don't usually bother with Westerns but this was superb.

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

That short was better than some 3 hour western movies I've seen. Keep up the great work!

[@ironmanduck]

great western just did a reacting i be uploading soon tyvm for making it

[@carreteFILMSPro]

Gorgeous! Love the 2.35.1 aspect ratio :)

[@lorenzogomez4144]

The deputy hero was shot in the hand on an earlier scrimmage yet at the end his right hand was miraculously cured.... low budget could not afford more make up or story line consistency manager????

[@oldguysmusic2929]

5 guys shooting 10 feet apart and no one hits anything. That's almost as funny as cowboys shooting while galloping their horses and the bad guys fall even though they are 1000 yards away.

[@laluna5192]

I have been watching westerns alot lately, I like the shooter from 1997 the best.... this is awesome! I will soon Act myself! im a songwriter so far! cool stuff

[@mariadankone836]

Hilarious! "Next time could you watch my back? Watch your back!"(gets attacked)

[@olmose]

Man, talk about your bad day at the office! Well played gents!

[@billyblackmon4796]

stunt men having a little fun with making this. goofy premise but great action. i keep a little derringer revolver all the time ike the one the prinsoner had. and in winter also a keltec 380 in my carhart. with a long fixed blade knife with a hilt. so i got a real kick out of all the weapons especially flipping that pistol from hand to hand. really a fun little movie to watch. thanks

[@SIXPACFISH]

About as realistic as a live action ghost town shoot out show. But it was actually entertaining. Even with the bad camera work. Tried too many silly camera tricks. Better to just shoot the thing clear and stable.

[@le_nirnoy]

I have watched 2 of your videos by now. The content is MIND BLOWING.

[@maximusaugustus6823]

WOW, this is unbelievable, a fantastic job. I would have watched the feature film of this.

[@michaelburton7219]

this guy who created this is going somewhere ! dude keep it up you could be a full fledged big screen film director someday! I enjoyed this

[@BatMan-oe2gh]

That was cool. Need to make a full length Western. Great acting and good humour as well. Loved the ending.

[@citizen0076]

not bad but!!!! please take note of the importance to place music or sound into the actual motion ... off beat is off beat,,,,can you play off beat???

[@michaellopez4746]

Story was great, the action was awesome. Dialogue and acting was ok but all around i see great potential in this work. Overall, it was great. 👍
