Painful rip-off of 'Hannie Caulder.'

Just watch the 1971 movie instead.

If you've never seen "Hannie Caulder," find a way to do so asap. It's what this movie tried to be, except it's great.

Oh come now, Hannie Caulder is mediocre at best.
It's better than this trash but it certainly isn't "great".

A 3-D Spaghetti Western rereleased to theatres cominatyanoir3d.com Comin' soon!

Agreed, Hannie Caulder was not a great movie, but it was entertaining. Robert Culp's portrayal of Thomas Luther Price, the corollary to Frank in this movie was very, very good, but Culp was always good, and unfortunately very under-rated as an actor in his time (may he RIP). The villains, sort of an evil version of the 3 stooges, were also quite original, menacing, scummy, but funny.

6 Guns wasn't terrible, it was an OK diversion, but certainly not original and an inferior copy of the aforementioned Hannie Caulder.

Painful is right. The Lee Horn character was the only one that was believeable. Mears was terrible. When it came to shooting her gun, I didn't think she could hit the ground in three tries AFTER she had been trained. Hannie Caulder was no prize, but at least they had real actors in it. Robert Culp is always great and the "bad guys" were believealbly hateful. Welch was okay and did her part by showing a little skin.When Mears was being raped, she looked about as upset as if she had just lost a hand at bridge. I'm sorry I wasted my time.

Well, It wasn't Seven Samurai by Akira Kurosawa, but it was darn good all the same! Nor was it The Magnificent Seven by John Sturges, but it was darn good all the same!! I liked it! Enough said!!!

Actually, it has a much better ending than Hannie Caulder, as the good guy doesn't die with a knife in his belly! And killing the evil bums gives her a definite sense of closure!!!!
