Two! Two! Two Kirks in one!.......2006-12-02

Wait, isn't that Kirk?! OMG, look! That's Kirk too! Aimlessly clicking around the dial one evening, we were quickly sucked in when this movie aired on Turner Classic Movies. This is a delightfully bad 60's-era double-cheesey Kirk McWhopper featuring James T in a dual role as both cowboy and Indian! Yes! Identical twin brothers except (oh, the delicious plot twist...) one is good and the other is bad!!!!11!

Filmed in Spain between the 1st and 2nd season of Star Trek, this movie boldy uses the same bad music, bad dialog, bad editing, bad camera work, and obviously the same bad acting as the original Trek. Blonde-Indian-Kirk eats peyote, does some war-whoops, and even busts into a god-like reverb as he tries to get the Comanches riled up. As a special bonus, some actors are dubbed, and some of the audio is out of sync. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this movie. If you fancy yourself a student of Bad Cinema, whether or not you enjoy The Kirk, you owe it to yourself to get this movie. Good clean fun.

Sample dialog: "Everywhere I go he follows, with his thieving and his killing, until I cannot live in peace!"

Brothers keeper.......2005-11-10

This is a Story Written by Robert I Holt and the Famous Frank Gruber who gave us Stories such as "BROKEN LANCE" AND "BIG LAND" and many others.This story is about a family of twin brothers born to White Father and an Indian Mother.One grew up in town yet respected the Indian Values and the other with the indian's but gone wild,Both played by William Shatner.Only diffrence to tell them apart was by the colour of their eyes,one with black eyes was called Notha killing and plundering and living wild with his renegade tribe, while other was of blue eyes called Johnny Moon, always getting mistaken,punished , beaten up for the crimes of the other .Till one day he could stand no more so he asked Notha for a showdown to finish this once for all in the town of Rio Hondo where the sheriff Logan played by Joseph Cotten.It is a Battle bitween Good and and the one gone astray.William Shatner acted very well in this one as always but this movie lost the grip and became a routine half way down.

Yikes!..Shatner In A Dual Role.......2005-03-19

"White Comanche"...1967/Color. Oy Vey...This was bad. Even a die hard oater lover like me had a hard time with this one. I thought with Joseph Cotton and William Shatner, I would find some redeeming value, but alas I did not.
Twin brothers who are half white and half Comanche(both played by Shatner, and I forgive him for this), have conflicts between them and with their identities as well. Probably worth the view for a few good laughs..

If you love these old oaters, you should check out the Great American Western series put out by Platinum Disc. There are about 25 volumes of the series, with four flicks on each disc. They may be purchased individually or in sets of anywhere from 2 to 10 discs. "White Comanche" may be found on Volume 20 of "The Great American Western Series", (also included in Vol 2 of the 10 pack set). Volume 20(asin - B00009MEI6) also includes, a fun look at an old Roy Rogers flick, "The Bells of San Angelo" and a great documentary about the John Ford Western, starring "Pappy" himself, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda. Don't expect anything like a big studio transfer, or the attention that is paid to the classics on these sets(although some look pretty good). The do show their age with some scratches, "White Comanche" looks completly faded out, and there are even times in the films when the voices don't match the lips. They all have pretty decent sound though and are all enhanced In DD 5.1. They are priced right, and is a better way to go than buying all these old westerns separately.

William Shatner as a Comanche?.......2005-01-15

Have you ever wanted to see Star Trek star William Shatner as an Indian? If so, this is the movie for you. Shatner plays Johnny and Notah Moon, two half-breed twin brothers; their father was white, their mother a Comanche. Johnny is your average two-bit gunman while Notah is the leader of a group of renegade Comanches who have left their reservation. After years of fighting, the brothers decide to meet in Rio Hondo, a small Texas town ravaged by two rich landowners. They know that when they do meet, one of them will die. This movie was made on a small budget, which is quite obvious, and made during the peak of Star Trek's popularity. If you're a fan of the show or Shatner I recommend this movie, but at certain points, it is unintentionally bad.

William Shatner's performance as Johnny is pretty decent, but his role as the peyote-smoking, murderous Notah is laughable. To look and sound like an Indian, Shatner speaks in a slow gruff voice and wears a headband and war paint. Joseph Cotten plays Logan, the sheriff of Rio Hondo who tries to keep his town as peaceful as possible. White Comanche also stars Rosanna Yanni as Kelly, the saloon girl, Perla Cristal as White Fawn, Notah's squaw, Vida Molina and Luis Prendes as Garcia and Grimes, the two warring landowners. The copy of the movie I saw was pretty brutal, washed out colors, horrible tracking, so beware when buying this movie. For a western with dual roles by William Shatner, check out White Comanche!
