Movies starring Max Terhune

Ride, Ranger, Ride (1936)

63 mins     Western      

As a western fan when it comes to these early oaters the appeal when watching them now is usually two fold; firstly for the star and secondly the stunt work. You notice I choose to ignore the storyline and that is because mos...

The Big Show (1936)

71 mins     Western      

You shouldn't be able to but there are some movies which you can judge just by reading through the credits and one of these is "The Big Show" from 1936. So to start with we have Gene Autry who is down for two roles which mean...

Gunsmoke Ranch (1937)

53 mins     Western      

Gunsmoke Ranch: The Three Mesquiteers try to aid a new community who have been swindled by a land owner into increasing the value of his land...

The Trigger Trio (1937)

55 mins     Western      

Cue are heroic cowboy riding fast as he gives chase to some men in a car, throw with that some fast paced music and you have one of the many scenes in "The Trigger Trio" which to be blunt did very little for me. And to be hon...

Red River Range (1938)

56 mins     Western      

I know I have watched at least one other western featuring The Three Mesquiteers but am confident that I haven't watched one where John Wayne was one of these heroes. But considering The Three Mesquiteers never had a set in s...

Pals of the Saddle (1938)

55 mins     Western      

As a western "Pals of the Saddle" is nothing special, yes the story which sees chemical smuggling is a bit different but the whole good guy masquerading as one of the bad guys and ending up in prison is as routine as they com...

Trail Riders (1942)

55 mins     Western      

I had better say that "Trail Riders" is my first Range Buster movie and it is one of the last in the series which ran to 19 features between 1940 and 1943. Yes that is 19 movies in three years and yes "Trail Riders" is one of...

Arizona Stage Coach (1942)

58 mins     Western      

Watching some of the old western quickies from the 30s and 40s can be a strange experience if you are not use to them. Take "Arizona Stage Coach" here is a western which not only features some western friends having some hors...

Thunder River Feud (1942)

58 mins     Western      

I've only watched a few Range Buster movies but I quickly learned that these movies were made with two sides. Whilst there was always the typical western side which would see the friends defeating the bad guys whilst one of t...

The Long, Long Trail (1942)

56 mins     Western      

I am trying to recollect if I have ever watched a western which merged into a WWII war movie and I can't. It has to be said quite a curious combo especially when the movie in question is "The Long, Long Trail", which also goe...

Land of Hunted Men (1943)

58 mins     Action , Adventure , Western      

I wonder if anyone who is a fan of these old 60 minute westerns have come up with the idea of doing a comedy around them being made. I say that because it feels like every series of these short westerns featured the same stor...
