Buffalo Rider has changed my life!
2 January 2012 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I recently managed to get ahold of the unrated of this film. This version is the director's cut. From watching over 75 hours of bonus features, I found that Paul Verehoeven actually directed this under a pseudonym. To put it simply, Buffalo Rider is a gritty psychological thriller about a cop named Jake Jones, whose rookie partner is killed by a gang at a bar one fateful night. Jake, driven to revenge, goes out and decides to saddle (no pun intended) his trusty buffalo he had rescued many years ago and raised. Jake goes out on his buffalo and tramples those who killed his partner, officially becoming "the guy ON a buffalo".

The explicit sexuality in this film really adds to the film's overall greatness, causing more tension than I have ever seen in a film in my long life. If you find a copy, pick it up immediately, I can assure you that it will change your life, as it did mine. Not only did I have to choose between forty six women breaking down my door, but it has also depicted the old west so realistically, it has given me a new lease on life, as well as a successful and rewarding career as an old western writer.

Signed, Louis L'amour.
