How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Normally I love westerns, enough so that I am frequently forgiving of any shortcomings that they may have. However, "All Hell Broke Loose" is so unbelievably awful that I couldn't find any enjoyment out of it. The first clue as to its awfulness is that it's made by Barnholtz Entertainment, who are notorious for making and distributing shabby product. The second clue is that David Carradine was in the movie. In the past he made some entertaining movies, but towards the end of his life he was in one stinker after another, including this one. Though he is top-billed, you should know he's actually just in a minor supporting role. He doesn't seem very enthusiastic, and looking at the rest of the movie you'll soon see why. The photography is often washed out and murky, there's a cheap look to every shot (even those taking place in the wilderness), some of the actors are VERY OBVIOUSLY dubbed, the action is almost non-existent (and boring when there is "action"), the story is confusing, and the movie is so gosh-darned DULL. There is NOTHING of merit in this movie, and the movie's badness is not of the so-bad-it's-good type, so there's no reason to watch this movie, even if you are a Carradine fan.

David Carradine may have appeared in many Classic "B" movies that were enjoyable to watch. A four time nominee for the Golden Globe Award he had to be completely broke to have joined up with Christopher "B flop" Forbes. What a shame after all the good work he did over the years to fizzle out in a wreck of a film.This is the bottom of the barrel of movie making. no.. better yet, kick the barrel aside a dig underneath is where this high school style acting, ketchup splattering gun shot movie rests.Christopher "B flop" Forbes wishes he had the talent and style of Ed Wood yet this film proves he is a close runner up to Larry Buchanan (one of the worst filmmakers of all time). "All Hell Broke Loose" was boring and tedious, containing some of the most uninspired acting I've ever seen. It lacks entertainment value despite the fact that a competent director could have probably done a good job with the material. It's a sad fact of life though that directors like Christopher "B flop" Forbes are a necessary evil. If there weren't people doing it wrong, then how would you know who was doing it right?I think I will go watch a Kill Bill flick to get the taste of this movie out of my head. RIP Mr David "Jack" Carradine

I'm not related to anyone in this movie, I myself wasn't in it, and so nobody should be able to accuse me of bias for this crummy review.The acting was bad. David Carradine was bad! The writing was something I could have done in high school drama class as a skit; the scenes were choppy and made no sense. There was one point where a "corpse" in a coffin breathed, which just made me laugh. I didn't get some of the shooting scenes. Really, one guy was had a through-and-through shot in the chest, blood spattering everywhere on the wall behind him, and he dropped like a rock, the next scene he's in he's got his arm in a sling and the bullet's in his arm. Those Civil War sharpshooter rifles were meant to be accurate, but if the shooter is no good the best rifle in the world do you any good.The horses...What can I say? The outlaws' horses looked very well-groomed and well-fed for outlaws' horses. On the up side, they were beautiful horses (aren't they always?).Yes, this was an independent film. Lots of mistakes are obvious, like the lack of sync on the voice and video tracks. Indie films are usually slightly better than this though. I can't even credit Jim Hilton with a good performance, because it wasn't good in MY opinion.I'd like to say something good about this movie, so here it is: While not entirely accurate to the period, the costumes and some props were fairly close. And the "bad guys a-comin'" music wasn't entirely awful. Not great, not awful either.On the whole, don't try it. It's not worth it.

This truly is one of the worst, if not "the" worst westerns I've ever seen for various reasons. I like most westerns and I would likely give some leeway for theatrical mistakes or bad camera work. But this one hits the mark on all things bad. The actors, perhaps with the exception of David Carradine and Jim Hilton, for the most part wouldn't make it in a dog food commercial. The dialog was dry and the deliveries were worse than a "B" rated porno. As for the location scenery, it was very good. But the set design and construction was right up there with current building standards. I did not realize they had plywood and parquet flooring back then. You can even see attic venting made out of aluminum.As for the main actor (Jim Hilton) being an expert at shooting a long rifle, his ability at the dramatic scene lets the viewer somewhat dumbfounded. Come on, ten shots from 20 feet and not one man drops? The story line is taken from several other "Great" movies and blended with pure amateur high school movie making.Again, I have to say, don't waste pop corn money on this one.
