GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

dogismygod If you like esoteric and dream-like 60's movies, this is an awesome flick! The James Gang rides again in this one and there is a surreal, 60's flavored feeling that features some sweet folks from that era, musician having fun acting!!!. Think of Easy rider turned into a Spagehetti Western that was made in the USA for trippers and folks that love a flower power trip back to the old west, with a Grateful Dead feel, they do not appear, but their spirit is there and you will love this soul searching -find- yourself film that hearkens to a more innocent time when imagination and music was all that was necessary.. find it and rent it! Take a trip down on Haight St. in a Western dream!GROOOOOVY! Peace!

bneyman I've read the comments of the other viewers posted here, and I agree that the film is fun (if a bit silly) and the music is great. The Siddartha angle is interesting, and I think the script by Firesign Theater is very entertaining. But I ask you: Am I the only viewer to notice the sexual tension between Rubenstein and Johnson, and to pick up on the gay sub-text? Yes, Zachariah tries to renounce violence, but could it be he's really just denying his attachment to Matthew?

sgar323 I first saw this film on its first run back in '71 or '72. Saw it on a date with a nurse from the hospital where I worked in Plantation, Florida. Had known very little about it beforehand. Was blown away. Spent the rest of the date (at restaurant) explaining Hesse's Siddhartha and all the points of congruency. Also recognized names of Firesign Theater. Was convinced they'd retold Siddhartha, which is Hesse's retelling of the Buddha story of spiritual enlightenment, mixing American West gunfighter myth and rock and roll--two key archetypes/myths of our generation: ingenious premise, well-executed. My conviction was confirmed absolutely when I saw it again later and recognized Zach's response to Belle as verbatim Siddhartha's response to the courtesan in Hesse--trying to avoid spoiler here.Of course the movie is somewhat dated now, 30 years later. But it was clever and even profound in its day and still worth seeing. I'd recommend reading the book first in order to fully appreciate what they were doing.One other comment: I see a parallel between Zachariah's pairing of Old West gunfighters and rock and roll and the Eagles' Desperado song story--especially apparent in the song "Certain Kind of Fool:""I saw it in a window, the mark of a new kind of man; I kinda liked the feeling, so shiny and smooth in my hand; I took it to the country and practiced for days without rest; And then one day I felt it: I knew I could stand with the best."Is "it" a six-gun or a six-string? Yes. Whenever I heard this song I pictured Zachariah out in the desert practicing his shooting.See the film if you can. Enjoy the music. Follow the story. It's worth it.

Infofreak Oh, how I love late 60s/early 70s Hollywood! When the studios figured to capture the turned on youth market, but had NO CLUE what was really going on! Great era when almost anything could be passed off as psychedelic, and weirdos like the Firesign Theatre could co-write a movie and GET IT MADE. Grooovy!'Zachariah' is a unique, rock'n'roll western, which is so lame brained and misguided it turns out to be one of the most entertaining movies of the period. Just check out the cast! Pretty boy Don Johnson, TVs John Rubenstein, Country Joe and The Fish, and DICK VAN PATTEN! Add to that a Who-inspired James Gang (with a young, clean shaven Joe Walsh) and Coltrane's legendary drummer Elvin Jones, and you've got a truly, er, UNIQUE proposition! Make a great double-bill with 'Tommy'!
