  1. Yeah…that is a strange pairing Jack Palance and Calamity Jane (I’m presuming that you are referring to the Doris Day Calamity Jane) LOL

  2. Definitely, it is very funny but not poking fun…if that makes any sense :S but then I know nothing about westerns xD
    Lol ahh City Slickers, it’s a childhood favourite of mine and God knows why any kid would watch that but I did religiously! Still got the DVD! USed to watch Calamity Jane religiously also…strange child I was.

  3. Exactly! More of a loving homage to the genre with a very humorous slant to it. I LOVED City Slickers just for Jack Palance’s character! I haven’t seen that film in ages!!

  4. Loved this film 😀 Some of the characters were so adorable!…I don’t think I’ve ever watched a proper western! The closest I’ve got to a Western is City Slickers haha
    Definitely agree it’s not really a parody, a pastiche maybe but it wasn’t really taking the piss like you’d expect of a parody!
