The comedy tends to draw you out of the time the film is set in as it all seems very current, but overall it's good fun. The amount of stumbling blocks along the way is probably it's biggest problem, as it piles them on. Semi-spoiler: During the intensity of a poker tournament, why not pile upon some extra tension by adding a bolted room door to Mel Gibson's worries during the 1-hour break in the finals. No. There's tense, and then there's plain annoying. A lot of it's the latter.

Fun, very good repartee. Mel just isn't as good as James Garner was being Maverick. Jodie Foster was most excellent as the 'madam' - one very sharp cookie!

This movie, with BTF III, turned me on to westerns. After this i saw the Cherokee Kid on HBO and Clint Eastwood in The Outlaw Josie Wales on cable. This was the funniest though.

This is a film that dont try to be anything else but fun with a couple of neat little twists.
