    Great movie!

    I really enjoyed this movie. A good story with some great gun play. I've always been a fan of Lance Henriksen and he does a great job here, as usual. Nikki Deloach was great as well, especially considering she was a young actress with little experience when this movie was made. I first bought this movie years ago on VHS. I sold all my VHS movies when I started my DVD collection. I never could find this movie on DVD. The other day I spotted it on DVD, from Platinum. I usually shy away from movies from Platinum. I guess I've always thought of them as lower quality or something since you can buy them for less. I bought this one and it is good quality. No frills though. No extra features on the DVD menu. Not bad since I paid three bucks and change for it.

    The only western I really like and I love this movie above all others.

    A notorious gunfighter with a conscience who comes to steadfastly resist his past until the true love of his life calls for his help. The feared gunman cannot ignore this plea and despite the danger he will face and in spite of the pleading of another who loves him, he answers the ominous call. This hardened gunman becomes torn by the request of his one true love. His dilemma is further complicated by the curiosity of a smart young lady who admires the legend but is disillusioned by the reality of the man behind it. After facing a near death encounter the gunman exacts a tormented promise from his lost love and skillfully saves a town. His humanity however is the big winner as he sacrifices something more painful than death but finds a reason to live and let live and even more so comes to know even greater love.

    A Good "Fantasty" Gunfighter flik

    This is a very good "fantasy" gunfighter flik. I have watched it many times,yes there are some "goof ups" but it is still 10 stars better than " Gods Gun " which just today played on the Lone Star channel. It is well worth a look.Just don't look to hard at the time lines and there are more than one if you listen closely to some of the dialogs. This is also one of the movies that try to look at least some what the way the old west did. unlike movies like The War Wagon where Kirk Douglas wears pants that look more like tights than anything a man would have worn in those days. So don't look to hard just set back and enjoy the ride, it's fun

    Outstanding surprise

    Q. How to add yet another Western to the world's vast library of movies that is both: (one) not completely predictable and (two) shamelessly plays up to Western hero stereotypes?

    A. Gunfighter's Moon.

    I loved everything about this movie and hope to find a widescreen version of it someday if such a thing exists. Although I have only seen this movie on pay movie channels, I was very impressed by the quality of the sound. Guns exploded. And (specially in the screen where the hero "kidnaps" the beautiful girl) the gallop of each horse pounded like thunder!

    I hope everyone who sees this movie finds enjoyment.

    World Class Western

    Mr. Hendrickson's performance was Oscar Caliber......Film work is flawless.....story was beautifully poignant and melancholy. How this film was overlooked by the public in general is a perfect example of what is really wrong with our society today.....they just weren't "told" that this was a world class film to be cherished for all of time..........so very sad! The camera work when the lone rider is returning to the little town through the open meadow and enters the stream at "full tilt" was superb! You have to know and love horseflesh to fully appreciate the "mechanics" of that scene....the rider and the animal were flawless in execution which is the way it should be. David R. Newman, Texas.
