Terence Hill rides again!!!, 3 October 2003
Author: A. Squadrilli from Virginia, USA

Don't expect a huge budget or flashy camera work.. This is a mild take on "Lucky Luke" the famous Comic/Cartoon. Luke is played by Terence Hill, that Trinity guy. This is good for the entire family since Hill keeps up his tradition of films without violence, sex, & language. Try finding that these days.. It is great to see Neil Summers as Lukes Deputy Sheriff. Summers played Squirrel in My Name Is Nobody (Remember the scene in the bar where the fella is shooting glasses before they hit the ground.. always grinding his teeth..). Good stuff, Good music too.. The late Roger Miller provides the opening theme, the narration, & the voice of Jolly Jumper while the ending credits has a Arlo Guthrie song. I know a lot of people will not like Lucky Luke, but it's not for everyone, but if you are looking for something for the whole family to enjoy or if you are a big Terence Hill fan it is worth watching.

For "Trinity" fans, this is a must see..., 27 October 2000
8/10
Author: jxf-3 from Michigan, USA

In the 60s, Clint Eastwood rose to fame starring in a series of Spaghetti Westerns as the "Man With No Name" Observing their success, a young Italian actor changed his name to Terence Hill and started cranking out his own version of the wild west. They called him "Trinity" and over time, the Trinity series acquired a cult following. Trinity was an affable, absolutely filthy (although clean shaven) drifter who wandered the Wild West with a smile on his face, fearing nothing. He WAS the fastest gun in the West. If they didn't back down after seeing his dazzling gun play, he set them up for somebody else. Trinity didn't say much, never swore, and never killed anybody. With dubbed English and hoakey fist fights, these films were absolutely stupid! Henry Fonda co-starred in one of the films. Looking a bit older, Terence has ditched the filthy clothes and changed his characters name. Even so, except for the talking horse, it's still a "Trinity" classic. This film strays from the original series in that it was filmed in the US (New Mexico) and utilizes a mostly American cast. Also, they actually spent some money on the soundtrack. Roger Miller wrote and performed the "Ballad of Lucky Luke".

A lot of fun and laughs. This film demonstrates that it IS possible to have humor without sexual innuendoes, foul language, or off color jokes. Disney could learn something here...

a hoot!, 23 August 2004
Author: yooper-1 (yooper@att.net) from Washington

Lucky Luke - a great family film!

I really enjoy this film. It is zany and fun for the whole family! I am proud to have this film in my video collection - the humor is just perfect! It is hard to find a comedy that is free from explicit violence, foul language and sex - but Lucky Luke is just that - pure wholesome fun.

I am not familiar with any prior Lucky Luke cartoons or comics, so I don't know what sacred ground is being tread on, but without that knowledge, Lucky Luke can be enjoyed again and again for what it is!

Terence plays the role just right and Jolly Jumper is a hoot! Sit back and enjoy a prize film!

Great fun Family Film!!, 15 March 2009
10/10
Author: hobo14-1 from United States

This film WAS obviously filmed in the United States. In fact it was filmed in my own home state of New Mexico and in the neighboring state of Arizona. I recognize much of the landscape and could tell that most of this film was made in Northern Arizona surrounding Monument Valley on the Navajo Reservation.

As for the rest of the movie, it is a wonderful Terrence Hill comedy and I loved every minute of it. Roger Miller adding the Voice of Jolly Jumper was great. This is a great fun family film and I'm happy to share this movie with my young nephews and friends who have young children.

One of my fav Terence Hill movies., 23 August 2009
9/10
Author: Mr_GrowlTiger from Canada

I don’t really understand all the negative comments about this movie. First off, how do you expect to make a serious impression out of a comic book that didn't even take itself serious? This movie is not to be taken serious, it’s a comedy. (com•e•dy n. pl. com•e•dies 1. a. A dramatic work that is light and often humorous or satirical in tone and that usually contains a happy resolution of the thematic conflict. b. The genre made up of such works.

2. A literary or cinematic work of a comic nature or that uses the themes or methods of comedy. 3. Popular entertainment composed of jokes, satire, or humorous performance. 4. The art of composing or performing comedy. 5. A humorous element of life or literature: the human comedy of political campaigns. 6. A humorous occurrence.)

I read all of Morris and Goscinny’s work when they were at their best. In addition, there was always with a twinkle in their eyes creating this hero what he is today.

IMHO Terence Hill makes a great job capturing that from the comic books and here for those that think Morris made a mistake. (All the movies he was in had an angle with tongue-in-cheek perspective). Why would they continue their collaboration if he (Morris) had not approved of Terence Hill and the screen writing. Terence Hill doesn’t take himself to serious and that shows in his movies. No cussing or questionable “nude” scenes, just pure good old fashion fun. As a movie buff I enjoy a good movie and I don’t judge how and who and why this and that is awful or faithful to whatever the source of a movie. I watch a movie to be entertained without to have to dissect every move or scene I see. This one is great, full of humour and with a tongue-in-cheek kind of way. Life’s too short to grumble about how bad this is etc. Enjoy the show, grab a bag of popcorn and kick back in your favourite chair or couch and just have fun.

Appalling!, 28 April 2008
2/10
Author: cgprogrammer from South Africa

This has to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen!

For a start "Lucky Luke" didn't look remotely like Luke from the comics, Luke has dark hair, the clothing was all incorrect! How hard could it have been for them to have at least used the correct colours for Lukes clothes? What about his cigarette? Lucky Luke doesn't even stop smoking when he talks!

Then we have the Dalton brothers, only Avril was any good, Joe was terrible, he ought to have been throwing continuous tantrums, the actor also has a completely "un-Joe" like build.

I nearly keeled over when I saw the Indian's sending smoke signals, never mind the Indians themselves who didn't sound remotely like Indians.

Overall this movie was terribly produced.

Don't waste your time with this one, 22 December 2002
Author: conclave1 from New Mexico, USA

This movie is very bad. The only reason I rented it was because I know someone in it. And by the way, it WAS filmed in the United States (it was filmed here in New Mexico). I think this is supposed to be a comedy, but it was only stupid. Since Terrance Hill directed it too, he has himself in almost every shot. Long, long shots of him just riding a horse or walking or a long look into the camera. This is just a waste of time.

What was Morris thinking...?, 15 June 2000
3/10
Author: Mr_Peur (mrpeur@hotmail.com) from Montréal

I remember what happened. Terrence Hill fell in love with the superb Lucky Luke cartoon and comic book series. He was a movie star, not a big one though, he made only two flicks since this one. He succeed in contacting Lucky Luke's creator, Morris. The cowboy father agreed to let the italian actor do his movie version and a subsequent tv series based on the most popular adventures of Lucky Luke.

What a mistake it was !

I love Lucky Luke but god do I hate this stupid movie. It is obvious this wasnt even filmed in the united states even though its supposed to take place in a western universe, with cowboys and indians. Everything is bad, Luke's love interest, the famous Daltons and overall Terrence Hill, he is NOT Lucky Luke, he dont even have the same and famous outfit. Not worth the curiosity, avoid this piece of crap. Dont go near it... Beware !
