TOP NOTCH McCOY WESTERN!
Richard J. Oravitz | 07/06/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I have a fondness for Tim McCoy's Lightin' Bill Carson westerns, especially when Tim goes undercover using a disguise to solve the case.
This time the case takes 6 years as Tim/or Lightin' Bill becomes El Puma, a Robin Hood-like Mexican bandido. It seems Lightin' Bill was framed for a murder actually commited by Bad-Guy Link Benson (the great Ted Adams). So Bill goes undercover for 6 years...no matter, to get the goods on Benson in a 52 minute slam-bang, hard-ridin' fun-for-all action classic!
I'd rather watch a quickly made no-holds-barred action western like THE FIGHTING RENEGADE any day over a so-called "classic" like HIGH NOON which has way too much talking and way too little action.
McCoy is just great as usual! Ben Corbett plays his old partner "Magpie". Bud Buster plays "Old Dobie", Ace-heavy Ted Adams is perfect as Benson, Joyce Bryant is the heroine and dependable Dave O'Brien is her love interest. O'Brien (Texas Rangers series, CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT serial, DEVIL BAT etc.) always seemed on the verge of hitting it big and moving on to leading roles in A-features. He was charming, witty and had a winning "common-guy" appeal. He will always be one of my favorite low budget heroes!
The ALPHA dvd is acceptable. Some scenes are a tad too dark but over-all it really looks pretty good with lots of sharp images.
Remember,it's directed by penny-pinching cheapskate Sam Newfield, which means tons of low-budget action fun!!!
Enjoy."

"VCI Entertainment and Victory Pictures present "Fighting Renegade (1939)" (Dolby digitally remastered)...relive those thrilling days from the early '30s and '40s when drama took us down the dusty trails and the plains to exciting adventures....some of the best B-Westerns ever to grace the Saturday Matinee Screen......the Native Americans had no better ambassador than Tim McCoy, a former Indian language translator in real life...as Tim McCoy speaks passionately about this country's longtime abuse of its native population by breaking treaty after treaty...just remember double thrills, chills, mystery and suspense...hitting the bull's eye with excitement...don't miss any of the Tim McCoy features loaded with action that will leave you wanting more of his B-Western adventures

Under director Sam Newfield, producer Sam Katzman, screenplay by William Lively ...the cast include Tim McCoy (Lightning Bill Carson/El Puma), Joyce Bryant (Marian Willis), Ben Corbett (Magpie), Ted Adams (Link Benson), Budd Buster (Old Dobie), Dave O'Brien (Jerry Leonard), Forrest Taylor (Prof. Lucius Lloyd ), Reed Howes (Sheriff), John Elliott (Old Prospector). . . . . .our story has our hero Tim McCoy being falsely accused of a killing, so once again he takes on the identity of "The Puma", a Mexican who leads a vigilante group overseeing the territory...is there an Indian burial ground with buried treasure and is Ted Adams our star villain trying to get the best of McCoy...can we see justice done with all the hard riding, shooting and drama that lies ahead...must admit, have a great fondness for Tim McCoy playing the continued role of a Mexican character, it is a pleasure to watch him in action...well, don't leave the theater you're about to find excitement in the last reel in this over the top sound B-Western.

Special footnote, actor Tim McCoy in real life was a sharpshooter and famed for his fast draw...was an expert on the Old West also an authority on Indian folklore could converse in Indian sign language...McCoy was inducted into the "Hall of Great Western Performers of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum" in 1973, also inducted into "The Cowboy Hall of Fame" in 1974.
