Score 3/6

In 1882, 20 years after an almost forgotten massacre took place, the only living witness to the crime, John Slaughter, returns to the town where it happened. Now finding the town run by the man behind the terrible act, Slaughter teams up with the mysterious gunslinger Savannah Starr to try and rid the west of one of it’s great evils.

Okay, I suppose that now is a good a time as any for a revisit. For those of you wondering I last reviewed in August of 2017. I know 3 years is far since the last review is far to short for a revisit but times like this you need to watch movies that make you smile.

I suppose what originally attracted me to Ghost Rock was the combination of the American Old West and martial arts. As far as I can remember I haven’t come across a movie that has done anything like Ghost Rock, though it should be noted that there are movies out there with better martial arts sequences then Ghost Rock. A recurring thought that I had while watching this was the fight sequences seemed slow. Even if you hold it up to some of the things that Steven Segal has done.



It’s always fun Gary Busey cast in a movie, though I will admit that Jack Pickett is not my favourite Busey role that would have Pappas from Point Break. I enjoyed both Michael Worth’s and Jeff Fahey’s performance though I don’t think that I have seen them in anything but Ghost Rock.
There are a lot of little things to like about the movie the opening sequence which set the tone of the overall tone of the movie right around mindless entertainment with beer and pizza on a Friday night. One of the other things that sold me about this movie was the plot line involving Savannah Starr portrayed by Jenya Lano, who seemed to keep the movie going into territory almost every revenge seems to go.
I also have a soft for the soundtrack particularly the songs Johnny Come on Home and Follow the Light Soon Hee Newbold and Melanie Monroe.
