An African-American man living on the prarie is befriended by a scheming drifter. (Josiah Howard, "Blaxploitation Cinema: The Essential Reference Guide.")

• Richard Pryor’s lines were mostly ad-libbed.

The movie does have a cool theme song, but you’ll get tired of it afterabout the 40th time!

2) The ever-solid and charming Fred "the Hammer" Williamson stars as arugged itinerant gunslinger who becomes the reluctant constant patsyfor slick'n'shrewd con man Richard Pryor. The crafty duo experience aseries of goofy misadventures in the Old West in this amiably inane andinconsequential piece of low-budget blaxploitation sagebrush fluff.Competently directed by Williamson (who also wrote the slight, butwitty script), the rambling narrative saunters along at a pleasinglyrelaxed rate, the tone remains pleasant and playful throughout, andthere's a winningly breezy'n'easy chemistry between the two leads, withWilliamson engagingly playing the long-suffering straight man toPryor's smartaleck joker. Moreover, Williamson stages the expectedrough'n'tumble fisticuffs, heated shoot-outs, a daring jailbreak andfrantic horseback chase sequences with a reasonable amount of skill andbrio. Popping up in nifty supporting parts are Thalmus ("Blacula,""Cool Breeze") Rasulala as a rascally old coot with two hot daughtersand former Tarzan Mike Henry as a dumb, ornery cuss. Both Luchi("Friday Foster") De Jesus' cool soulful score and especially the funkyR&B theme song really hit the groovy spot. Granted, "Blazing Saddles"this picture sure ain't, but it's a satisfyingly lightweight andgood-natured diversion just the same.

3) i found this movie for a very cheap price and thought,how bad could itbe.right off,i could tell the budget was next to nothing.at least itfelt that way.it is supposed to be comedy,but from what i watched,itwas not funny at all.i also noticed that the same manufacturer anddistributer were also behind "Dan Candy's Law".i think the productionvalues are better on this film.at least the movement of the lips andthe words matched,unlike "Dan Candy's Law"but i also thought the actingwasn't very good.Richard Pryor and Fred Williamson are the maincharacters,co the movie should have been funny,but to me it was not.imight try and watch it some other time,and maybe i will have adifferent opinion.but for right now,i didn't like it.
