Bronco Billy Audience Reviews

BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Hollywood_Yoda This is one of the most underrated films that Clint Eastwood has directed and also starred in. It was not one of his greatest films overall, but the story of Bronco Billy proves a great dramatic story. Sondra Locke also stars as Billy's love interest, Antoinette. The story is about a wild west show, much like Buffalo Bill Cody's wild west shows of the late nineteenth century, set in modern times.With interest in his show dwindling, and no money to pay the performers, Billy must find a way. A run of bad luck takes them to an asylum where they are received by the administrator. It is there that Antoinette parts ways with Billy. Loneliness sets in, and Billy is drowning in his own drunkenness, until Antoinette returns to him.Its not the Bridges of Madison County, so don't look forward to high expectations. However, if you are a fan of Clint Eastwood, you will be entertained, no doubt.
Rainey Dawn Clint Eastwood is back in a gun-slinging western role - but this time he's funny with it. This movie is quite funny and well worth watching. Billy is full of comedy, action and a great all around adventure film. Bronco Billy is not your average Clint Eastwood movie - it is a comedy. This film proves that Clint Eastwood has a fine sense of humor and that he's more than just a good gunslinger on film.Bronco Billy is one of movies that makes great manatee. If you liked the films: "Blazing Saddles", "Every Which Way But Loose" or any of the serious Western films starring Clint Eastwood - then you might enjoy Bronco Billy.7.5/10
dworldeater Bronco Billy is one of Clint's favorite films. It is also somewhat overlooked or under-appreciated. Bronco Billy is part of a traveling wild west troupe out to make a living by entertaining the kids. Sondra Locke is his love interest yet again and is joined by other regulars that appear in various Eastwood pictures . Also the great Scatman Crothers is joined also and delivers one of his best performances. This is more of a family friendly film and a change of pace to the usual violent Eastwood movie . That does not mean it lacks depth as the story is good and the characters are interesting.I find Bronco Billy somewhat similar to Overboard ,which is also a funny ,heartwarming comedy with another real Hollywood couple that is fun for the whole family . Bronco Billy really is a solid movie and proof to any naysayers that Clint is not a one dimensional filmmaker,or only good as action star. He made a lot of movies that drive that point home throughout his career , this is one of his best of those films.
longcooljolie From the beginning of the movie to the end, this movie strongly seems like a movie Clint Eastwood and his friends did for fun. It could be considered a "sleeper," since it was not heavily promoted around the time of its release and many people, possibly even some Clint Eastwood fans, may not know it even exists. Yet "Bronco Billy" seems to have gathered a following, for good reasons.Clint plays a character very different from the one depicted in his westerns and his cop movies. In a cynical time, he and his pals travel around the west performing a "Wild West Show" complete with a native American snake dance, a wrangling exposition, and a showcasing of Billy's sharpshooting talents.Things get complicated when Miss Antoinette Lily, a runaway heiress, gets unwillingly involved with the show as a desperate gesture. While she's prettier and more lively than Billy's other assistants (hilarious early scenes show the other girls goofing up), she causes friction with her willfulness and certain misfortunes fall upon the Wild West Show.But the ending of the movie is joyful and happy, containing wonderful touches, such as the Wild West show performing under a tent made entirely of American flags. Bronco Billy implores youngsters to "obey your mom and dad, because they know what is best," and to "say your prayers at night." A Clint Eastwood movie with a strong message about loyalty and getting the courage to become whatever you want to be. That fact alone makes the movie refreshing. It's easy to see why Clint Eastwood counts this film among his personal favorites.Only a few contrived plot points concerning Antoinette Lily and her estranged husband and step-mother add nit-picky elements to what is otherwise a wonderful and enjoyable movie.
