The gunfighter actually made me thing of Chirstian Bale for a moment there and the rest of the actors would not be misplaced in a Hollywood blockbuster as a major character. If you're in for the genre, this really is the best short movie out there right now.

Formidastic, haha geweldige portmanteau! Tevens een accurate samenvatting van een werkelijk origineel stukje cinema. Beleeft u graag een fantastische dag!

[@kareldebontridder4829]

+ps34evah Thank you for the compliment ! Just a small, but polite question : did you use Google translate by any chance ? Just curious to know... I mean, "porte-manteau" is a word extremely rarely used in describing facts that have nothing to do with clothing... If you did not use Google translate, you are nothing less than a linguistic master, something I admire enourmously (this is NOT sarcasm)...

[@Vanedis]

*Ahem* Well good sir, first and foremost thank thee for thy compliment! I must admit that I did not use google to translate the word, merely to make sure that I spelled it correctly. It was what I felt when I read your comment. By any chance, do you happen to be a native of Belgium or The Netherlands? I assumed your first language to be Dutch by going off your username.

[@kareldebontridder4829]

ps34evah Indeed, my dear friend, I am born and raised in the northern part of Belgium, also known as the Flanders area. My official family tree is documented as from 1743 (they even wrote a book about it, imagine that !). As for the explanation of the name : "bont" = fur and "ridder" = knight or merchand. So my ansisters were fur traders, as where my father and grandfather were cattle merchands which was a very famous profession in the village I come from. So, you assumed correctly...

[@Vanedis]

Karel De Bontridder Nice! I wish I knew as much about my family history, though I might have Spanish roots given that my surname implies we came from Toledo. And how are you doing neighbor of the South! My country of origin is the Netherlands, so I was not trying to translate, but merely wrote in my native tongue.

Funny premise, believable characters, and a Twlight Zone western in under 30 minutes. No too shabby. Golden Spur for best picture.

[@HeliRy]

Whatever you had to do to get Offerman to narrate this… it was worth it 👌

[@kevinrogers4747]

one of the best westerns , or any genre, i have ever seen! GOOD SHOW !!!!

Brilliant. Such originality and great acting. Bravo! Hope Sally made it through the following day.

[@tmarsden1878]

A surprisingly accurate video title by KZbin standards.

[@frankpitochelli6786]

This is priceless. Well done... Surprised this type of comedy hasn't been done more often.

[@Pixiedust8399]

Fleabag did it

This would make a great Adam Sandler movie...😂😂😂

"Best Short Film Ever" is not an exaggeration. This thread delivers!

[@benji8648]

When I read gunslinger and greatest short film, I assumed I was gonna see an amazing modern take on a gunfight. This was much better

[@OfSoulAndSin]

The absolute greatest short story in cinema history!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jeanackle]

I saw this years ago (probably around the time it came out) and thought: This truely is the Best Short Film Ever! And I reckon it pretty much still is.

[@nyazillagojira7079]

Quality never goes out.

[@jeanackle]

@@nyazillagojira7079 Well said.

[@shahooty]

I love you both! (my names in the credits)

[@jeanackle]

​@@shahooty Oh well... Thank you! You, are a genius! And so are the whole team behind this film. It was all so good that I don't even think about the clever ideas behind it, I just watch it and rewatch it, fully immersed from start to end. Thank you for this gem!

[@peterbenson2185]

This might be the one time a "best film EVER" title is true.. 10/10 all round.

[@ajeetsekhar07]

One of the best and most funniest short movies!!! Period...

A smile always returns to my face when KZbin brings this old chestnut out again.
