Most people know about one of Arnold's other movies before he got really famous, a awful movie titled "Hercules in New York", but this one was the more enjoyable film. Granted it was not anything great, a bit of a weak version of "Blazing Saddles", basically a cowboy comedy with Kirk Douglas as the title character and doing a very nice job of it. Arnold is not really all that impressive, but for what his job is in the movie he does fine. Basically a goodie two shoes type that is way to good to be true. The comedy is basically a live action Road Runner cartoon as Kirk Douglas and his horse try to spring one trap after another on the handsome stranger and the lady he is escorting and it usually ends rather badly for the villain. Whether it is a boulder rolling the wrong way or his faithful horse basically sabotaging the trap by moving the wrong way or at the wrong time this jokes work rather well. It also has a rather funny conclusion to it too. However, at times the movie moves a little slowly in-between traps and so it is a bit boring in places too. Still, for the most part it is worth a chuckle or two.
