IMDB

This is a parody of the western genre.  Nobody is faster than Jack Beauregard.  A man named Nobody, that is.  While it might seem like a one joke premise, and in ways it is, it really is more of a regular western movie with some levity.
Nobody is bent on making Beauregard into a hero and he wants him to stand alone against the 150 member of the Wild Bunch.  He does everything in his power to make it happen.  There is a little bit of time in the middle where the film meanders a tab, but it is at least to build up how good of a shot Nobody is.
I used to watch this film as a child.  The scene where Nobody holds a gun to the balls of a guy who is giving him a shave was one of my favorites.  Henry Fonda is great as the aging hero of the west.  Terrence Hill is good, although it seems like he mainly got the part because he sort of looks like Clint Eastwood.  Great soundtrack.  Worth a watch.

7/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
