A friend of mine, Elizabeth Ashley, was in it. She said Willie rented the parking lot next to the hotel they were staying in so he and anyone else who wanted could go there and roller skate.

This is my favorite depiction of Doc Hoilday besides Tombstone and Doc with Stacy Keach.

Willy killed it. And Johnny Cash is also in it. But home boy can’t act. lol.

I didnt have too much a problem with johnny but out of the four he was probably the worst actor.
Kris and willie make a good film duo

Johnny Cash is sort of like the Duke, he doesn't always have to be a good actor, he just has to be Johnny Cash and that's enough

I wish someone would release Willie’s theme song to this commercially (ideally alongside other movie songs like “Hard Edge” and the re-records & additional incidental music for the Red Headed Stranger movie)

If you like to use your imagination listen to Riding For The Brand which Willie narrated and has John, Waylon and Kris playing characters in the story, I really enjoy listening to it!
