    Justice is being... served

    No pun intended - it was quite interesting to watch. I am not used to see Michael Ironside being a good guy - well if you can call him that ... kidding aside, yes you can. And there are more great actors in this one. And if you are a fan of western movies and the genre in general ... well you don't need my approval to watch this.

    The tropes are clear and this is quite predictable to say the least. Yes we get the beginning where our main character gets misstreated - can you blame him for holding a grudge? Especially considering what he thinks happens to his family ... not easy to swallow - even worse when you are blamed wrongfully - again crazy that it happens to be Ironside ... anyway, the end may have shootouts, but there is a clever twist in there too ... I liked it.

    I'm not dead, but I would like some revenge

    Ok. This could have been a good film if it had a total rewrite. And a different director. Plus a few decent actors would have helped. I mean, Randy Travis? As a ranger? PLEASE!! This guy has the acting ability of a seed tick. And the voice of bullfrog that has went 'rivit' one time to many. He needs to stick with what he is good at. I hope that one day he finds out just what he is good at. This was a corny, unrealistic picture about the 'good' prevailing over the 'bad'. I felt like puking.

    Adult Western in the Genre of High Noon

    Not since Gary Cooper starred in High Noon has there been an adult Western like "Dead Man's Revenge" which starred Bruce Dern and Tobin Bell as the "bad guys," it also starred Doug McClure, this was his last movie prior to his death from cancer, he was brave up to the last and always in good spirits on the set! Also in this motion picture was Larry Polsen as the bartender who added so much as a character actor with his distinctive gaunt looks. Herbert H. Booker 2nd (Sarge) was the Piano Player, a ruggedly handsome longhaired bearded character, who like the bartender, added so much to the background colour of this remarkable film. Vondie Curtis-Hall turned in an excellent portrayal of an African-American in the old West in a role that was not servile and demeaning, but pride and dignity to the role of the black cowboy, he would rank with Herb Jeffries, the Bronze Buckaroo! Believe it or not, Michael Ironsides who is the main star is also the good guy! Melora Walters plays Bunny, a strong woman who ranks among Barbara Stanwyck and Kathrine Hepburn. This is a "must-rent" or own movie available on VHS video and DVD. This is the best Adult Western since "High Noon" and "Shane."

    Ironside and Dern are the only reason to watch this ........

    Bruce Dern is the bad guy (what a "surprise") and Michael Ironside is the GOOD GUY (surprise!), in this failed mish-mash of a western. What starts out as a gritty revenge tale, eventually deteriorates into a ridiculous swindle scheme. The murky plot is rushed to conclusion, with very little character development of the numerous players. Believability is stretched to the maximum, and beyond the always interesting Bruce Dern and Michael Ironside, there is little here to like. I would have preferred a simple shootout instead of this convoluted western, which tries to be clever but fails miserably.................. - MERK

    Booker's critique on the money!

    Booker's critique of Deadman's Revenge was right on the money! I own a videotape of this film and have watched it many times and indeed, the character actors of Booker the Piano Player and Polsen the Bartender are both unique and depict the people who inhabited the Old West so accurately and look as though they were lifted from the photographs of the U.S. South West of the late 19th Century. Michael Ironside played his role extremely well and it was a surprise to see him as the "good guy" for a change! Randy Travis added luster to this film well directed by Levi who also directed other memorable films and t.v. series, Doug McClure was superb in his role though short it was, he got the most of it and ended an unsurpassed career , especially in Westerns. Vondie Kurtis Hall added the African-American cowboy element left out of earlier Westerns. Like Herb Jeffries, Hall contributed a realistic image of the black cowboy. Oscar Micheaux would have been proud of him! The twists and turns were really great and held me in suspense when I saw it for the first time and was amazed at the transformation of the main character played by Michael Ironside from a youthful man with a full head of hair to a mature man who was unashamed of going bald. Bruce Dern was excellent as usual and knows how to portray the "bad guy." I'd highly recommend this film to all Western fans for its realistic portrayal of the Old West! I buy copies of the video and give them to friends and relatives as Christmas stocking fillers and for gifts at Channuka and Kwaanza too! If you see this video on sale, buy it because when you go back after deciding, it'll be gone and in some other luck soul's video collection. Hope it comes out on DVD soon! Booker had it right!

    • Trivia
      As noted by the person who reviewed this movie, this was Doug McClure's last movie before he was lost at the early age of 59 to cancer. He played a gun hand for Peyton McKay (Bruce Dern) and his character name was Granger. In The Virginian, his character Trampas worked for John and Clay Granger at the Shiloh Ranch. Rest in peace, Mr. McClure.
