I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

*** This review may contain spoilers *** The Outcasts was such a good TV western, I wish it had lasted a few more years.It takes two bounty hunters, who are at times against each other, and other times, with each other and puts them in difficult situations. They travel the West searching for wanted men. I think the rivalry really works in this show and it is very caustic and cynical. Something very refreshing to see for the time.Don Murray (Bus Stop (1956), The Plainsman (1966), and These Thousand Hills (1959)) was always a fabulous actor. Otis Young as Jemal was also in The Last Detail (1973) with Jack Nicholson.The music was really exciting, Hugo Montenegro did it.Some of the writing was corny, particularly the American Indian episodes. They make it seem like they are idiotic, and can't hunt two men on foot (The Apache Indian episode). By the way, the actor Robert Phillips (he played pro football for the Chicago Bears and the Washington Redskins), who played an Apache Indian in this episode, also played the same Apache Indian in "Kung Fu" The Predators (1974), and Mackenna's Gold (1969). "A Time of Darkness" episode also makes the attacking Indians so inept as to not be able to kill two men in a cave.Nonetheless, I really "The Outcasts" when it came on in 1968.

At times the series was just an ordinary western/ ]But at other times / it became a very interesting psychological drama / could two people from very different circumstances /one confederate veteran who literally lost everything as well as the war and an ex-slave who was also a black veteran learn to deal with each other/ in a world that resented and hated both rebels and blacks/ they were indeed outcasts !/ the series also dealt with violence against women/ Indians and questioned ethics and morality of post civil war America as well as in our own time . Don Murra y and Otis Young were excellent in their roles . Are VHS tapes available ? The premise would make a great movie/series is now available on DVD!/ / fans of this series were not wrong it was excellent

I really enjoyed all of the previous comments.This was a good western.It reminds me of Ned Blessings of the late 80's.I thought Otis Young and Don Murray were really good actors along with the late Gloria Foster.She never really got her appreciation in the Mannix series.Murray had a recurring role on Knots Landing.The only show I saw Young in was the Last Detail with Jack Nicholson.I would like to see this on DVD or VHS tape.It would be nice to have an address of the copyright holder to get them to publish the show on DVD,VHS or laser disc.This show really showed how the old west was really made too,so that children can grow up with a good historical perspective of American history.Sammy Davis starred also in a movie about a bounty hunter with Ernest Borgnine looking for a kidnapped girl of a rancher.

I have seen probably half of the 26 TV episodes. My comment is in the form of a question. Are the TV episodes on VHS tape/DVD; if so where may I acquire these episodes.I consider this TV series one of the better westerns TV series produced at the time. The series was ahead of its time based on the social culture at the time. I thought the series was well produced and directed. If I'm not mistaken the series lasted all of one season. I thought that the series was good enough for someone with insight could produce a full length movie with intelligent writing.Thanks much.
