Here's the other half of the Durango Kid 10 Movie DVD set.
Lightning Guns 1950 Typical rancher against rancher. The Durango Kid and his alter ego Steve Brandon set things to right with little help from Smiley Burnette. There's the usual shootin' and ridin' with a bit of romance too.
Snake River Desperadoes 1951 The Durango Kid is investigating the sale of rifles to the Indians. Local businessman and pillar of the community is really the baddie. Who would have thought? He's got his gang dressing up as Indians in order to stir up trouble and drive the land prices down. Smiley Burnette is still TDKs sidekick. I'm getting a bit tired of the man.
Bonanza Town 1951 Steve Brandon is on the trail of a supposedly dead guy. He stole a bunch of money and died. The money was never found. Recently some of the marked bills turned up in Bonanza Town. Steve's soon on the trail of the baddie and he always gets his man.
The Hawk Of Wild River 1952 Steve's on the trail of stolen gold. Clayton Moore plays The Hawk, he's causing trouble for the locals. Steve gets tossed into jail with The Hawk and helps him break jail. He's in the gang and on the trail of the gold. Smiley Burnette nearly cocks things up but that's comedy.
The Kid From Broken Gun 1952 This is the last of The Durango Kid pictures. It's kind of sad, nut just for it being the last picture but for the poor job they did on it. Much of the picture is borrowed from a 1946 Starrett picture called The Fighting Frontiersman. Not a bad story but oneI'd mostly seen already. The Fighting Frontiersman is also in the same set.
A good batch of watchable and typical Westerns. There are 65 films in The Durango Kid series. It would be nice to have them all in one set. I'll be on the lookout for some more down the road.
