Summary: 'Charming, just charming'
Review: The Villain is a curiosity piece. After sitting through the whole 90 minutes (believe me, that's one hell of an accomplishment with this film), I've come away wondering who is this film aimed at? Part Road Runner film, part cowboy film and part comedy. Most of the humour is too silly for adults; it's mainly aimed at 5 year olds apart from when Charming Jones (Ann-Margret) is on camera - she is the only genuinly funny character which the adults can laugh at, she openly mocks her own endowments and frustrations by the lack of 'attention' shown to her by Handsome Stranger.Arnold and Kirk are both lost with their characters. The real stars are buxum Charming Jones (Ann-Margret), Lucky (the horse) and Nervous Elk (played by a very funny Paul Lynde). I give the film 2 stars - 1 star for a very funny performance by Ann-Margret and the 2nd to the horse trainer!

Summary: The Villain
Review: This has become one of my favorite movies. It is hillarious.I have shared it with others and they never knew it existed. Is this a sleeper or what? Everyone agrees that this is a keeper for sure. I have watched this one over and over. I've never seen Kirk Douglas this funny. Great all-star cast.

Arnold, Mel Tillis- Ann Margaret, Ruth Buzzy-- Kirk Douglas - (he was amazing) Paul Lynn- Who am I missing-- Oh yeah the horse Whiskey - and road runner- This was hilarious in the 70's and still is. - As we showed it to all of our friends in the 70's-- we present it to all of our friends now- every one must see "The Villain" over and over and over.- cant get enough of it.

Summary: TAKE HOLD OF THESE
Review: This looney-tuned influenced cartoon movie came before BLAZING SADDLES, RUSTLER'S RHAPSODY, THE AIRPLANE MOVIES, etc., etc., so compared to these, it's pretty lame. But if you remember this was one of the early spoofs, it's not so bad. As mentioned, it's a live action Road Runner cartoon, with Kirk Douglas standing in for Wile E. Coyote. Douglas is a very versatile actor, and he tries very hard in this movie, but he's not comic enough to be convincing. Arnold Schwarzenegger? Well, this is an early film and he provides the muscle without any acting chops, but he's unobtrusive. Ann-Margret in an underwritten role is great, especially with her innuendo lines like leaning out of the train and asking Ahnuld to "take hold of these."
It might have been better had there been MORE slapstick scenes and less of things like the countless vistas showing the wagon, or the inclusion of Paul Lynde as a Paul Lynde Indian. They tended to slow the action down, except for the great scene where all the Indians fall off their horses. Ruth Buzzi in a parody of her dirty old lady Laugh In routine adds a little sparkle; Mel Tillis is irritating with his stuttering, always has, always will be.
THE VILLAIN is funny and seeing Kirk Douglas bounce all over the roofs in the end is sidesplitting. But the movie just ends, and you feel a little cheated.
But, it has some laughs and it's good to see Ann Margret any time!

Summary: Enjoyable and Fun
Review: This movie is highly entertaining and just plain fun. It isn't intended to be an epic, like Spartacus or Cleopatra. It's simply fun. In many ways, this movie is reminiscent of Coyote and Road Runner, but with Kirk Douglas and Arnie Swartzenegger in the lead character roles. It is very camp, and if you enjoy comic camp, this is a really entertaining film. It does not allow itself to fret over such trivialities as political correctness. It just sets out to be loony fun. And for the purpose it seeks to achieve, it does so wonderfully. If you want good, hearty laughter, you could do far worse than this modest little film. Good clean fun and sappy slapstick all the way. Certainly you will agree, if you see this movie, that the outlaw's horse is much smarter than his master. The purpose of film is to entertain, and this little sleeper can deliver. This is not a movie for everybody, but those who appreciate camp should enjoy it.
