XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
bkoganbing Mesquite Buckaroo casts Bob Steele as an all around rodeo cowboy, proficient at all the events, and a heavy favorite to become champion at the annual local rodeo. His closest competitor is Ted Adams and some gamblers headed by Charles King think they can clean up betting on the underdog.Well if you have honest judges who award points honestly, what do you do to fix a rodeo. The bucking horses and bulls are not terribly cooperative in these endeavors so you kidnap the star and when he doesn't show for his entered events, he's disqualified and your guy wins by default.That's the scheme and if you care to watch Mesquite Buckaroo you will see how it is overcome.I've seen the rodeo fixing premise used before, particularly in a John Wayne B western whose title does not occur to me at the moment, but it was better done there. Mesquite Buckaroo has even less production values than your B western coming out a studio like Monogram or Republic. A lot of stock rodeo footage is used to fill out the normal running time of a B feature film. The padding however is of poor quality and the stitching shows.
