Directed by Hal Needham, this was an attempt at creating a Roadrunner cartoon with live actors--except that instead of a live actor they got Arnold Schwarzenegger, before Hollywood smoothed his rough edges (and his Austrian accent). He plays the invulnerable sheriff who rides blithely through life, unaware that the evil Kirk Douglas wants to kill him and kidnap his squeeze, Ann-Margret. The stunts are cartoony without being funny and Schwarzenegger shows exactly why he was known as 'the Austrian Oak.' Douglas works extra hard but effort alone isn't enough to elevate this script. --Marshall Fine Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Arnold in a western comedy? This is a western/comedy as good as Blazing Saddles or Maverick. And oddly enough, it has Arnold in it?! But don't expect his favorite catch phrase "I'll be back". This is much older than Terminator. Rating: - very good i liked to much very funny i never sau arnold like a faget in his blue suit Rating: - Screwball Comedy Slapstick comedy that keeps you laughing from beginning to end. Definitely a movie that could be watched over and over again for a marathon of laughs. Rating: - Good for a light-hearted laugh I have had The Villain on VHS for years and have watched it many times. It is good for a slapstick, light-hearted time. I decided to order it on DVD so it would last many more years. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys the wily coyote type of humor. Rating: - hilarious think road runner and wily coyote in human form,with the exception of arnie,(never been quite sure about him).very very funny.dont think,just sit back and enjoy. see more
