Editorial Review: Twin sons of a white man and a tribal woman must struggle with their conflicting identities. White Comanche Reviews: Has what it takes to be Camp Classic  2008-12-26 - MST 3000 and Ed Wood revivals prove there is a market for astoundingly bad movies, and that is where this one should be categorized. Totally out of the league of Shatner's "pro" work, or real westerns for that matter. It apparently was a throw-away, purely for the foreign market (note the excessive violence). What does it offer the howler devotee? Let's try to list it: 1) Awesome script. (The sheriff had better not interfere while I fight with myself.) 2) Leering, clownish supporting cast. 3) Horseback riding to mood music from a Vegas floor-show band. 4) A couple of pompous Omega-Glory style speeches delivered by Shatner standing on a mountain, with Sun records tape echo. 5) Outdoors dialog all dubbed in from sessions taped in a small, hard-paneled room. Some Spanish actors apparently redubbed from American stand-ins. 6) Shatner's Texas accent vacillates between Sacramento and Belfast Ireland. 7) Bar-fight destroys all the furniture, then the lawman orders the surviver, "sit down!" 8) Horses continually skittish, veering to one side while trying to walk forward, you would swear they are embarrassed to be filmed. 9) Horse rides into the middle of the frame and disappears, turns out he walked behind a large mirror sitting in front of the old hotel, attempt at Hitchcock cinematography? 10) Shatner, all posing and dramatic pauses, on screen for the whole blasted thing - Friends, our family hasn't laughed so hard since we saw Airplane for the first time. Get out your credit card right now; you won't be disappointed.
The Shat is cheesy in this too  2008-10-14 - The only reason to buy this film is to see William Shatner's pompous acting and laugh at his erroneous self-confidence. It is decently entertaining but I wasn't feeling any real "part Comanche" in his acting.
