Fun And Colorful Comedic Adventure

Bumbling Sinbad sets out to avenge the murder of his parents years earlier by villainous railroad boss James Coburn. Failing miserably the first time around, he learns to fight, shoot, and survive from mountain man Burt Reynolds and notorious bandit Ernie Hudson, before taking on Coburn a second time.Winning performances by the endlessly glib Sinbad and scene-stealers Reynolds and A. Martinez, along with some genuinely funny moments and some good action, make for a truly entertaining movie that surprisingly has a lot to say about friendship and loyalty.The great all-star cast also includes Gregory Hines and Hal Williams. There's great chemistry at work here. Also, look fast for old-time black cowboy star Herb Jeffries in a non-speaking background role.I really wish HBO Films were still making good movies like this!

He followed no rules. He lived by no laws. He had no clue.

The Cherokee Kid is a 1996 made for T. V. Western comedy about a naive farm boy's quest for vengeance after his parents are killed by a vicious land-grabber when he was a child.Most made for T. V. films usually aren't very good, but I've always enjoyed The Cherokee Kid. It captures the spirit of an old west tale of revenge alongside a mix of fun comedy nicely. Sinbad is delightful to watch as Isaiah Turner, a bumbling farm boy who grows up and learns from a great cast of characters how to become an old west gunslinger, so he can avenge the death of his parents and brother. It's pretty silly at times, but never fails to be anything other than entertaining.It's not the best western out there or the best comedy ever, but it's still a good movie that should bring out a few chuckles. If you haven't seen this before, I would recommend giving it a chance.

Western with a twist

The Cherokee Kid is a hoot from beginning to end with a little Burt Reynolds thrown in for good measure. A western told in flashback with narration by Jaun Cortina (A Martinez is hilarious in this over the top performance), you learn the story of Isaiah Turner from boy on the run from the land grabbing railroad tycoon (James Coburn) who murdered his mother to the man known as The Cherokee Kid, a gunfighter out for revenge and hunted by The Undertaker(Gregory Hines). He lives with Otter Bob (Burt Reynolds is almost unrecognizable but gives a great performance) learning the ways of the mountain man until he Bob is murdered by the men on Turner's trail. Isaiah then spends time in jail with Nat Love until they are sprung by Cortina and Isaiah follows Nat back to his hideout. There he learns to ride and shoot and earns the name The Cherokee Kid. He gains fame taking out Bloomington's banks and ends up getting killed in a shoot out with The Undertaker. The ending is a nice surprise with a very nicely choreographed gunfight. I enjoyed it very much and we pull it out of the collection to watch on a regular basis.
