    • Quotes

      [Valley tries to seduce Johnny]

      Valley (Dusty in credits): Johnny, we've been riding together for three hours, and you've hardly spoken to me. Am I that uninteresting?

      Red River Johnny: That isn't it, Valley. I just don't have time for anybody.

      Valley (Dusty in credits): [suggestively] There's always time if you want it.

      [Johnny just stares stoically off in the distance]

    One of the worst westerns ever
    Son Of The Renegade is without a doubt one of the worst westerns I've ever come across. It's an independent production that somehow got inflicted on the American movie going public back in 1953. It is a throwback to the days of all those fly by night studios that gradually disappeared in the 30s and 40s.

    What can I say, the plot is incoherent the direction none existent liberal use of old black and white stock footage. A cast of players none of whom you will ever have heard from so no one could be embarrassed the rest of their lives.

    Pass this one by.
