Worst Portrayal

[TallTallMan]

Is that The Crab Mosters?

Yep.

 

[Bentonville]

Is that the one with John Wayne as a Union cavalry officer who barricaded a wide street of a western-looking town, and then a train pulled up on a track that ran perpendicular about a block away with a boxcar centered in the street. Then it's door opens and a bunch of Confederates come charging out with a flag bearer in the lead and the Union cavalry wipes them out before they reach the barricade and the whole battle is over? At least that's the way I remembered it. I was about 6 years old when I saw it and thought the scene was stupid. Who would jump out of a boxcar and run completely exposed down a street at a protected foe? Sounds more like something a Russian would do at the beginning of the movie "Enemy at the Gates."

Yep.

That is one of my favorite bad films.

 

[Bentonville]

Yes. Best movie ever made about giant crabs with telepathic powers menacing the professor from Gilligan's Island.

Excellent way to sum up that film.

Roger Corman, the director of it and Little Shop of Horrors with Jack Nicholson, just passed away. He was 98 and was known as the king of Grade B movies.

If you think The Horse Soldiers was bad, check out Dark Command!

Doesn't that have Randolph Scott as the guerrilla?

It's going to be a sad world without Corman. I reference his 'Yeah, I can get that done in a week' ethos.

Nope, Walter pigeon as Quantril. Also has John Wayne and Roy Rogers

My mistake. How I get Scott and Pigeon confused so of then I'll never know.

He did play Sam Starr in the movie "Belle Starr". It was almost as factual as Dark Command!

Actually Pidgeon played a character named Cantrell instead of Quantrill. How's that for history?

LOL-as I said-it was "factual"! Plus my hearing is not what it used to be-just watched it this past weekend.

 

[Richard Appledorf]

It has both Quantrill and his mother being shot during the Lawrence raid (say what?).
