"
One of my favorite westerns and, easily, one of the best ever made. All the brothers in the film are played by real-life brothers - which is something I've never seen before or since in film."
"The story of The James and Younger gang, with the Keach brothers (James and Stacey) as the James brothers, the Carradine brothers (David, Keith, and Robert) as the Younger brothers, and Randy and Dennis Quad as the Miller brothers.
This is a rare western that doesn't bother to deal with good and evil, right and wrong, but merely tells a story about the three families during post civil war America.

"Kuinka monta Carradinea tarvitaan yhden westernin tekoon?"
Hyvän länkkärinhän Walter Hill on leiponut, mutten silti suurena spagu-fanina pysty olemaan vertailematta Lainsuojattomia italian serkkuihinsa. Onhan se totta, että vaikka spaghetti western yleisesti ottaen onkin omiin kaavoihinsa kangistunutta eksploitaatiota, amerikkalaisversioissa on useimmiten monipuolisempi juoni ja toisinaan omaperäisemmät hahmotkin, jään silti kerta toisensa jälkeen edellisten parissa kaipaamaan t"

The Jesse James legend is another popular Western movie subject. They usually focus more on the legend and less on the historical facts.
This version is best remembered for the gimmick of casting 3 sets of real life acting brothers as 3 historical brothers involved with the James-Younger Gang and for the the soundtrack of original music by Ry Cooder.
James and Stacy Keach as Jesse and Frank James
David, Keith, and Robert Carradine as Cole, Jim, and Bob Younger.
Dennis and Randy Quaid"

Oikein miehekäs länkkäri, jossa on kolme Carradine. Idea on Hilliltä varsin erikoinen, mutta onnistunut. Pistää useampi tosielämän veljes esittämään elokuvassa veljeksiä. Toimii pirun hyvin, koska nyt hahmot jotenkin läheisempiä ja hiessä on tietysti samaa näköä. En oikeastaan keksi mitään kovin suuria heikkouksia, vaikka elokuva tarinan kerronnassa ehkä vähän hiomista olisikin ollut. Poukkoileva tarina ei aivan pidä otteessaan koko kestoa."

Really interesting film. Until this point the only thing I knew about Jesse James was gleaned from 'The Assassination Of....' and as such it was kind of jarring to see the James and Younger gang in their prime and in a traditional sort of western. Lots of great performances in this and some fantastic direction by Walter Hill makes the film move along even if there doesn't actually feel like there's a lot of meat to the story. "
