White Comanche
Certified Crap. CrapScore 65, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
William Shatner plays feuding twins, giving this western twice the opportunity for dramatic emphasis. The opposing brothers move toward a showdown through pulp plotting and painfully dated Native American stereotypes. The double Shatner is the draw; the cultural caricatures are part of the film's baggage.

Synopsis and movie facts
William Shatner plays two roles: cowboy Johnny Moon and his ruthless Indian twin brother, Notah. Notah likes peyote and gets the crazy idea that he's the Comanche messiah sent to lead the Comanche nation against the white man but more specifically the dusty desert town of Rio Hondo. Moon, estranged from his brother, decides to stop Notah either by words or by bullets.
