Hands Across the Border / Billy the Kid Returns Review

I'm not a full fledged expert on Roy Rogers films so when I was reading reviews, the Roan Group kept coming up as the best of the digitizing. Well I've watched both movies on this disk and they are pretty good. In Hands across the border, which in my opinion has plot problems... their is a bit where the lips and the words are not fully synchronized in the first scene at the Ranch. But it may be from the original film, I don't know. It's not a problem though watching the film. Hands Across the border is the movie where Roy meets Trigger. It's not clear that trigger belongs to him by the end of the movie, but Roy rides him as if.

In Billy the Kid returns, we have Roy as Billy, and then again as the man mistaken for Billy. (funny how people in the movie could make that mistake!) But in this movie the plot is fairly straight forward, and easy to follow with lots of gun play, fast and furious riding, and the standard group of bad guys who learned to shoot at "The Empire's storm trooper shooting school." (In other words, they can't hit the broad side of a barn.)

Still these movies are a slice of Americana and fun to watch. And look for the other 2 DVD's that the Roan group did.Heldorado/In Old Cheyenne, Roy Rogers, Vol. 1: Roll On Texas Moon/King of the Cowboys/The Days of Jesse James
