My rating:  4/10

Will I watch it again?  No.

Ugh, was this slow and boring and it took about twenty minutes of it before I realized that this probably wasn't going to get better but I stuck to it.  Every aspect of this was just below average.  Even Johnny Texas' multiple disguises and trick weapons/props (like his crutch with a built-in gun) didn't help much.  The disguises were high school theater quality.  The bad guys were morons for not seeing through them.  This picture smacks of low rent at every turn.  The comic relief from the mute and the dwarf are too broadly played (as was the norm back then) and the horrible "funny" music in those scenes makes it more excruciating.  The audible noise was too much, man.  I'm a big Spaghetti Western fan and this is one of the many that needs to be avoided.
