Stage Ghost. Very low budget… And cheesey… But fun…

Master Gunfighter with the actor from Billy Jack. Not really any supernatural or Sci-fi elements but all the gunfighters also carry around samurai swords and have Sword/Gunfights. An interesting cross-genre movie.

There's also The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr…. which I thought was on Hulu but isn't.

Blazing Saddles. He does invent the candygram, after all. And it's got Prussians in Picklehaubs (dancing, but even so).

IMO, the weirdest movie set in the Old West is "Greaser's Palace"; it's in the running for weirdest movie ever with "Eraserhead" & "The Forbidden Zone".

Excelent, keep em coming

"Django the Bstrd" aka "The Strangers Gundown" is said to have been the inspiration for "High Plains Drifter".

Brisco County Jr. was an awesome show! Highly recommended!

Pale Rider. The shootout at the end where he keeps disappearing and reapearing next to the guys then guns down the lead "marshal" by shooting him repeatedly then finishing him off with the holdout gun has to be the creepiest shootout ever. I have been meaning to incorporate that into a game.

If its just weird you want, how about 'The One About the Travelling Piano Saleslady' with Phyllis Diller. 'Support Your Local Sheriff' & 'Support Your Local Gunfighter' with James Garner. TV series 'Wildcats' with the heroes driving a Stutz Bearcat (?) with twin Maxim guns on the bonnet, set in just pre-WW1 in the West.

'Copperhead'. Mining community vs. a horde of venomous snakes – with some surprises…

"Django", previously mentioned, is worth watching just for all the un-intended laughs. If you really want to laugh just watch the commentary from the major principals discuss how they thought they were making a really great film… "Tremors", though it is set in the modern day. Many of the characters live by the moral code of the West however. I see someone mentioned there is a "Tremors 4" – I'll have to see if Netflix has it.

>>"Django", previously mentioned, is worth watching just for all the un-intended laughs. If you really want to laugh just watch the commentary from the major principals discuss how they thought they were making a really great film…<< Nobody mentioned "Django" in this thread. Are you talking about "Django", "Sukiaki Western Django" or "Django the Bstrd"?

Thanks every one this should get me started :-) -Ben
