Leave your thoughts about Johnny Yuma.
| User ReviewJohn R130511: Quite a good film. The last 20 minutes is nothing but gunfight action and violence, some of it unexpected. Though Johnny Yuma is the hero, he gets really close to villainy at times. His wrath is felt Samantha and Thomas Felton, one of who fares better than the other, though neither fares well thanks to LJ Carradine. Unique conclusion. On a side note, what's with the pistol that shoots from the detachable holster? Along with that classic music and sound effects, it seems gimmicks always play a part in spaghetti's. This is one of the better ones I've seen as of late. |
| User ReviewMichael WLike most spaghetti westerns you learn revenge is never easy. |
| User ReviewChristopher SEntertaining tongue-in-cheek spaghetti western tells a decent story with style and energy. Not among the very best, the tonal shift from comedy to (surprisingly graphic) violence can be awkward at times, but fans of the genre will appreciate it. |
