DVD Synopsis

The made-for-TV Once Upon a Texas Train offers us the once-in-a-lifetime teaming of Richard Widmark, Willie Nelson and Angie Dickinson. Nelson plays a veteran outlaw who robs a bank less than 6 hours after being paroled from jail. He uses the money to reunite his old gang, then sets about to repeat the train robbery that had gotten him arrested 20 years earlier. This time, however, Nelson is himself targetted for theft by a young, hungrier band of desperadoes. Widmark plays the lawman who caught Nelson before and intends to do so again. Written and directed by the reliable Burt Kennedy, Once Upon a Texas Train premiered January 3, 1988. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A fun western starring old time sidekicks like Dub Taylor, Ben Johnson, Jack Elam among others as an over the hill group of outlaws and lawmen with a history.

This is a funny Western.
I enjoyed it.
It's funny.
Because this old gang of guys are trying to rob a train, that's gone.
Super FUNNY

This is actually a sort of SPOOF. I don't know if they intended it to be that way, but I ended up laughing through it all! The dialog is CORNY as all get out, but hey it has Willie Nelson in it... and he only sings once. (Don't worry it isn't a long number either)

Pretty lame, but if you like westerns, or simply want a good laugh out of one this is the movie for you.
