![]() ![]() They make a point to ride past many landmarks, because of course they do. This is of course the movies main hook, having cowboys running amok in Manhattan. And allowing Pepper to drive his truck full speed into a local bar owned by the gang (his truck seemingly suffers no damage and apparently no one gets killed or injured).Īs the trio chase after the main villain (a snarling, scenery chewing Dylan McDermott who dies quite horribly in the end) they basically end up riding horseback all over places which you simply wouldn't expect to see a horse being ridden. This includes riding all over New York on his police horse waving his gun around. By helping them I mean completely violating his jobs procedures and acting like a wild cowboy. Ernie's character seems to fall under a bit of a man/hero crush with these cowboys and starts helping them on their quest. So this is the part where Pepper acts a bit homophobic because cowboys are real men, grrr! As the plot progresses they meet mounted police office Ernie Hudson who tickets them for camping out in Central Park (you know because they're cowboys and that's what cowboys do). Later on Pepper gets himself into a posh yuppy-esque party for catwalk models (some middle aged woman takes a fancy to him). Oh the hilarity that ensues as Harrelson's Pepper character acts all uncouth (ahem). Somehow they manage to waltz into the Waldorf Astoria unchallenged and then manage to get into the dinning area for a snack to eat. They dress funny, they talk funny, and they act all gruff its all just so.funny. Being cowboys these guys are of course out of their natural habitat in downtown New York/Manhattan. Most of the action we see if also your predictable guff (oh my the stunt doubles!!) which was done way better in that 1986 Aussie comedy. Where as Harrelson's cowboy is the wildcard who loves loose women, drinking and getting into trouble. The only real difference is Sutherland's character is the more sensible, straight laced cowboy with morals. And they are both displayed to be rather butch and sexy over dem city folk. ![]() They both have various stereotypical cowboy skills which come in handy throughout. They both wear stetsons, jeans and cowboy boots all the time. Both protagonists are your absolute cowboys. I'm sure you know exactly what to expect when I say that. In short this is a very weak rip-off of 'Crocodile Dundee' but minus everything that made that movie a classic. So the butch stetson wearing duo must find Nacho and his daughter. In the meantime the gang keeps his daughter in sweat shop slavery. Turns out Nacho owed money to a gang for bringing his daughter into the US from Cuba. The plot centres around two cowboys in New Mexico (Woody Harrelson and Kiefer Sutherland) who must travel east to New York in order to find their Cuban friend Nacho (who went to find his daughter). You had no idea if they were any good but you'd usually rent them because of the cast, and sometimes the neat movie poster on the box. Movies you'd never seen or heard of before but had really good casts its like they just popped up outta nowhere ('Celtic Pride' for example). Back in the day you'd find many of these random comedies on the videoshop shelves. This movie was pretty much the epitome of cloning or ripping off another movies concept, and then see it go straight to video (in the UK at least).
