Smiley Burnett was a popular character actor in his day but his antics turn what was a decent B western into a C western!

DURANGO KID É MAIS UM ÍDOLO DE INFÂNCIA!!!!

[@tovalieberman6686]

really liked this movie. Favorite part was when Smiley was "beating the cra-p out of the bad guy! Hysterical with fitting music.

[@Marcus538]

Thats quality humour

[@michaelklein5242]

Oh yeah, I laughed like crazy during that scene. Smiley was such a wonderfully versatile entertainer and his musical numbers here show he could sell a song that he also wrote. He'd have been great in a Broadway musical like "Oklahoma!". All those years seeing him on Petticoat Junction and I never knew until now what a talented and well loved screen artist he had been.

[@phillipbuechner6853]

I love the old B grade westerns and the Durango Kid series was usually a notch better than the average one. Charlie Starret cranked out over 60 Durango movies. As it got into the 50's Jock Mahoney took over as Durango's stunt double. His stuntwork was legendary (Burt Reynolds' movie Hooper was based on Jock). The original plan was for Jock to take over the Durango role because Charlie was thinking about retirement but then TV bloomed and the silver screen cowboys suddenly stopped, long about '54. You can see two of the best stuntmen/horsemen at one time if you watch the old tv show The Range Rider. Jocko and Dick West were incredible together. Thanks for making this available!

I prefer that sissy Gene Autry (never could stand his singing, "I'm Back in the Saddle Again")to Durango Kid or Rocky Lane, even though I preferred Roy Rogers to Gene but beggars can't be choosy.

[@GeneRogers-xl9um]

Let’s not forget Yakama Canutt! Started in old B movies and later was the head coordinator for the chariot race in Ben Hur ❤

[@mikenewton474]

Charles Starrett appeared as the Durango Kid from 1945 to 1952, when the series ended due to television competition. Starrett had made a single film as the Durango Kid in 1940. By 1945, the singing cowboys had taken over and something new was needed to pep up the series. They revived the Durango Kid character and a few films later, they brought in Smiley Burnette's whose antics had won him a raft of fans in the South. He was given his own credit screen but had to give up his nickname of "Frog" because it was licensed by Republic. He was known as Smiley in the Durango films and rode his horse Ringeye. He also added his musical talents to harmonize with whatever musical group was featured.

[@fburgdrummer]

Noticed that Jack Mahoney was wearing his Range Rider belt (buckle) in several scenes.

[@robertpage4149]

Jock (aka Jaques at times) Mahoney appeared in a couple 3 Stooges shorts earlier on in his career. He had a western TV series as well. Didn't he also play Tarzan later on?

Um dos derradeiros filmes da série de westerns B da Columbia com o personagem Durango Kid, interpretado por Charles Starrett. Dirigido por Fred F. Sears, teve sua première nos EUA em 22 de janeiro de 1952, entrando em circuito comercial nove dias depois. Passou no Brasil como "O barranco da morte".

[@jdearing46]

A light hearted song to start us off. A laugh then a bit of fists flying, followed by some gun play and murder wild west style. Then we had a us a range fire. Then we got some slap stick comedy. More gun play, and loads of deception going on. Then we top it all off with some explosions and a stampede death scene, while an avalanche of boulders that buries the rest of the bad guys. Guy gets girl back and our hero rides away to fight another day.

[@arieswaters]

Sounds like a show to me!

[@warrenhunnewell6537]

I love it

[@childofthecreatorgod9962]

She says that she wants a range war to stop the sheepherders. The lawman says, "You'll have my help."WOW!, imagine a lawman NOT enforcing the law but breaking the law. LOL! Guy puttin g up the No Sheepmen sign, shot in the back but no bullet hole in his vest or blood. Too bad he was not wearing Kevlar LOL.

[@DavidREllisAZ]

A great movie, but one thing everyone seems to get wrong, sheep don't eat roots and all, and they do better on poor ground.

[@Buisness1]

TIS is the second movie tonight I've seen jack Mahony wanted.

[@marcobispo7399]

gosto de seriado gurango kid onde compro estes dvds original não telecinado

[@Paul-lm5gv]

At about 21:05 the bystander Carl said he saw Mahoney at the window fire a shot. So that means there were TWO shots fired so he couldn't have killed the old man! Didn't the script writers do the math???!!!!

[@jamesgoines7663]

This is a new approach - sheepmen are killing cattlemen.

Unlike cattle, sheep can gnaw the grass down to the ground. It is easier for them to overgraze.

David, these guys were surely kidding but there was a revolver made that DID fire two bullets from every one of the 6 chambers. Here's a link to the Rock Island auction for a Walch Navy 12 shot revolver in Apr of 2016. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHbaaqt5qcdjl7c PS I know these guys didnt have one. LOL
