who knows the name of a comedy in which a cowboy goes back in time as a roman. There is a scene where he is driving a car with horses, the two weels fell off and you see his legs running….
Another scene is, he is standing in a saloon another man enters and wants to shoot him and he is faster because he shoot through his holster. I hope somebody remember this scenes.

I think the movie you want is “Draw” with Kirk Douglas and Lee Marvin – you’re right, a very funny movie!
Great Scout and Cathouse Thursday is an excellent Western Comedy! Should be in the top 20!
Hi, can anyone help with the Title of a Comedy western with scenes—-of a gay indian, –washing a horse and it shrinks,–and painting their Tee Pee with a paint roller, possibly german made ( we think) made LOL , cheers
Can anyone recognize the movie where two cowboys are traveling to do something, the memorable thing about it though is that the younger one keeps accidentally shootin his horses.There is a scene where this cowboy is told to keep his gun pointed to the sky all night to steady his aim, but he falls asleep and shoots his horse when his hand drops. Anyone remember what this movie was called?
Chuck, zoie, & Dave Hazelwood: I think the movie you’re looking for is “Texas Across the River.”
Hi everyone. Odd question, I know, but there is a western that’s a comedy where, at one point, one of the actors–every time he shoots his gun–two indians fall off their horse. He runs out of bullets, THROWS his gun, two indians again fall off their horse. Does anyone know which movie this scene is in? Thank you! Charley (crv2crv@yahoo.com)
Looking for a western comedy movie from the 80′s called ‘Going Back West’
I am looking for an old comedy with an chinese guy ,who swallows a key, and then he had to take it out from his ass!In another scene of the same movie, there are 3 guys in a saloon and they are waiting for they order until one of the guy dies(you can see his bones), and another guy grows like a grandpa!Really very funny western!Please help!
Hi everyone! I’m trying to find this film that revolves around to actors one has black hair and the other is blonde which seems like a normal story but then turns wild!
Includes some kind of hot lava like pond and robot type things near the end!! anyone pleeeees!!!
Dave Hazelwood, I can remember that movie. I sat in his hysterics at the point you have raised.
At the start of the film the key characters save a girl from the local witch doctor I think. The Chief and warriors couldn’t get anything right and it was a very funny movie. Sadly even after researching still can’t find the movies name:/
Help ! Can somebody help me remember a movie?
It was an old comic western.
All I remember about it is this Indian they kept calling “Chief”
and he would appear again and again riding on a horse and he or a cowboy chasing him kept riding into an overhanging limb of a true and being knocked off his horse. The first time it was funny. The second and third time, even funnier.
No much to go on I know but with all the movie fiends here I
am betting somebody will remember it.
I recall it as being black & white but am not positive. Also remember a lot of dialogue in a saloon.
Ring any bells for anyone?
Mack Sennett made some comedy Westerns including two or three two reel talkies with his last sweetheart Marjorie Beebe. One at least of them also had a horse in a starring role. Madcap Beebe and her equally madcap filly run away to a circus where the filly falls in love with a big Arab stallion. When Beebe’s exasperated old father, played by the excellent Andy Clyde, catches up with them the horse tries to mediate between father and daughter. Clyde was about the first in a long line of wonderful old critters in Westerns, a line that includes Walter Brennan and my personal favorite Edgar Buchanan.
hi can you tell me what comedy western this scene is from? three or four actors jump out of a window or maybe a roof onto the back of one horse and tear off. it was very funny. i had thought it was part of cat ballou but have just watched that movie again and found it wasnt part of that movie. any help appreciated cheerio maryanne
Looking for old western comedy with indians and soldiers in it. In one scene the Chief tell the other indian to shoot and arrow on fire to burn a wagon and he sets the Chiefs headdress on fire. In another scene the Colonel tells the soldier to shoot at the idians and ends up shooting the Colonel in the butt. My Dad and Mom got up in the middle of the night to watch this because I was laughing so hard. He is really sick and I would like to find this to watch with him again.
Please help me!!!

Tal–the movie you want is “The Fastest Guitar Alive,” starring Roy Orbison (yes, the singer). It’s available on DVD; I think Oldies.com carries it.
I’m curious as to the name of a western comedy I saw at least 15 years ago. Its about two brothers, in one scene, one is described as being the fastest gun in the west, and his brother is described as being the strongest man in the west, by one of the men’s children. Does anyone know which movie I am referring to? Thankyou
Number 1 has to be My little chickadee. Regards. James
I am trying to find out the name of a movie that was out around 1967 or 1968 . It was very funny, and it was about them bring alcohol across country and several groups were trying to get to the alcohol either to steal it or help it get to area, there was also a group who did not want alcohol and also the indians were trying to get the alcohol it would show a map of them all coverging on the train and it was so funny
Thank you so much bill
Trying to find this movie where the funniest scene is a gunslinger too drunk to stand but needed to help the main character in a shootout in some town. In order to make him look like he has it under control they bind him up on a plank or something and display him in a window as sober. I always thought this was in cat ballou but it is not. I do think it is Lee Marvin that plays the drunk. Anyone recognize this????
Greetings. I am looking for an old movies that I watched when I was young, I can’t remember the names of the characters or the title of the movie.
But here is what I remember, The hero was an antagonist, a nasty cowboy, but decided to go straight for his girl, but in the end his evil way get the best of him… oh and his rival had a guitar gun whom he love so much that he took the bullet that was aimed at it.
Thank you.
Kris: The movie you are referring to is called The Villian, starring Kirk Douglas, Ann Margaret, and Arnold Swarzennegger
The comedy with the horse I think was Lee Marvin in “Cat Ballew”
I’m trying to find a western that my dad watched where the horse was part of the comedy act. It was older 60′s 70′s

please helb me find their names and i will appreciate it very much .
thank u all
Anyone know what movie this is? I remember seeing this in the 1980s,but only remember two scenes in this movie. One scene was a man and woman in a horse and buggy (or it could have been a train) riding through some mountains and they could go through these black tunnel like doors, but when the people following them tried to go through it it was solid. The next scene was this woman kissed this guy and he started to go in really fast motion. Anyone know what I am talking about?
It’s good to see James Garner up at the top, even though Blazing is in first place. Most people don’t recognize his comedic genius.
what about “the cockeyed cowboys of calico county”? If you left that one off you don’t need to be doing this anymore. that’s not only a top ten but also most memorable as well as funny, better than most of those you have listed in the top 10!
Am I the only one who thinks Back to the Future Part III deserves a spot on the list? .__.
The British comedy classic from the Carry On series “Carry on Cowboy” should be up on that list.
The best western comedy is “The Unhanged”.
What? No Silverado? That’s a great Western Comedy, with lots of action. Almost as funny as Cat Ballou.
Um HELLO ?? Why doesn’t this list have “The War Wagon” I think thats one of the best Western comedies ever.
[...] film turns its genre upside down and spits on it. It does for police crime stories what Cat Ballou (1965) did for westerns. From singing iguanas to philosophical drug kings to a hero with a bad back [...]
Hello
What was the best quality and worst movie of 2010 in your oppinion? In my opinion it might have to be:
Greatest: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1
Worst: A Nightmare on Elm Street
All the best
