Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Crappy film

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

No insult to Ray "Crash" Corrigan (who was one of the great western movie stunt men (along with Yakima Canutt and others), but I disagree with previous writer who dissed Davy Sharpe stepping in for ray Corrigan. I welcome any movie in which Davy Sharpe consented to appear. I don't know, but I guess that Davy Sharpe enjoyed stunt work more than acting, so his "acting" appearances are far fewer than the number of movies he was called upon to double the star and henchmen in dozens of films. No movie cowboy was handsomer than Davy Sharpe or better suited in terms of athleticism and acting chops to be a western star, but, watching him partner Rex Bell so well in Idaho Kid, I have to assume that it was Davy Sharpe's choice to limit his acting roles.

David Sharpe has taken Crash Corrigan's place as a Range Buster. Please come back, Crash! Silly, predictable story line. Alibi's dummy, Elmer, again talks without Alibi near him. The ever present humor is there along with two Range Busters vying for a girl's attention. As usual, neither gets her. There is something strangely appealing about these childhood cowboy heroes. Justice always prevails, but the good guy doesn't always get the girl. With the absence of Crash Corrigan, Dusty King has taken over as the leader. Is it possible Alibi could get top billing? If all Range Busters films were like this one, it's no wonder they stopped at twenty-four. "See you in our next adventure!"
