So what do you think? Harrison Ford and Gene Wilder? good action flick combination? good 'Indy/Star Wars' mixed with the Mel Brooks regular? haha well I didn't believe it either but this is the first time I heard that these classic stars were teamed together in a flick, talk abou... read more
This isn't a very well known comedy, but it's very funny and it was interesting to see Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford working together in a movie. If you like either of them, I recommend seeing this movie, it's fun.
An okay western, but funny of a feisty team - rabbi (Gene Wilder) and bank robber (my favourite idol, Harrison Ford).
A great comedy Western with a funny Rabbi (Gene Wilder) seeking the protection of an gunslinging outlaw (Harrison Ford), for a journey from Philadelphia to San Francisco. They run into lots of perils and adventures along the scenic way. A great unlikely buddy picture in the grizz... read more
This movie was GREAT fun and begs for a re-make, but I don't know that it would have the same fun without Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford. As long as the re-make cast didn't try to "re-create" what those two actors did.
1 of my favorite Gene Wilder movies & 1 of the VERY few Harrison Ford movies I actually liked.A great Western buddy flick.I enjoyed it from start to finish.
Apparently I enjoyed this more than most people. Gene Wilder is terrific and very well cast. Just the idea of a Rabbi western is amusing, and that it is! Funny and very entertaining. It's a bit long, but otherwise a great comedy.
pretty entertaining film. a light-hearted comedy with a great spiritual heart. a rather motley assortment of elements--Judaism, the Old West, Gene Wilder, Harrison Ford, Robert Aldrich...a little Mel Brooks-esque comedy, a little action-Western, a little religious drama....all ... read more
Thought it was a comedy, but it has very few funny moments. Still, helps pass the time on a slow Sunday.

Avram: Come here little chicken. I don't want to hurt you. I just want to eat you.
[the chicken flies away]
Avram: I don't want to hurt you! I just want to make you kosher!
Gene Wilder does an excellent job playing a Rabbi quite out of his elemen... read more
Absurd Western spoof, that relies almost solely on its ethnic brand of humor to get over. Full Review
Aldrich's film is a timeless classic with a bevy of super performances.
The Frisco Kid made me laugh several times and smile often... I'd say that makes it at least a mildly successful film and a fairly enjoyable one, too. Full Review
Robert Aldrich's penultimate film is an easygoing work of some considerable charm that relies far too much on ethnic humor to sit quite as comfortably as it might like. Full Review
Cute but forgettable Western comedy.
Ethnic comedy-western with good Wilder-Ford chemistry
The Frisco Kid works thanks to Gene Wilder's jaunty, sweet and convincing triumph of comic bravado. Full Review
Funny, it's not. Sometimes stereotypically offensive, it is.
