Description

It's 1850 and new rabbi Avram Belinski sets out from Philadelphia toward San Francisco. Cowpoke bandit Tom Lillard hasn't seen a rabbi before. But he knows when one needs a heap of help. And getting this tenderfoot to Frisco in one piece will cause a heap of trouble - with the law, Native Americans and a bunch of killers. Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford are one feisty team as rabbi and rescuer in this rough-'n'-ready romp that rivals Wilder's earlier Blazing Saddles in Wild West hilarity. Director Robert Aldrich is a seasoned hand at blending roughhouse and laughter, as fans of his earlier The Dirty Dozen and The Longest Yard will attest. With a full posse of screen talents, The Frisco Kid rides tall in the comedy saddle.

    Do yourself a favor and don't tarnish your fond memories of Gene Wilder with Frisco Kid. Watch Young Frankenstein again. Now. That's a funny movie. This is not.

    This is an absolutely delightful movie. I highly recommend it. Give some nice positive view of Jewish culture and the ability to be a blessing and light in a world of pain and darkness.

    Meh… cool to see Gene and Harrison in their younger days, still developing character. But the script is HORRIBLE, boring, and so formulaic.
