Delving into the atmospheric depths of A Desert Hero reveals a master at work, the artistic provocations of A Desert Hero demand a follow-up of equal intensity. These hand-selected movies are designed to satiate your craving for cult quality.
The enduring power of A Desert Hero lies in to transcend the limitations of its 1919 budget and technology.
The Sheriff is a "desert hero," so lucky as never to get a scratch amid all the shooting, such a remarkable shot himself that he hits the cuckoo in a clock and causes it to drop into a glass of beer below, converting it to a cocktail. He thwarts all the villains, foils all the plots, rescues the persecuted maiden, destroys the bar, closes the dance hall, and is instrumental in converting a long line of hardened gunmen to lives of usefulness as members of the Salvation Army.
