Release

It opened at the Prince Charles Cinema on 24 November 1995,[1] and debuted in the United States 20 years later at the Cinefamily in Los Angeles as a midnight movie.[2]

The film was never commercially available on home video in either country, although Wright said in 2015 that he hoped to "finally release it [...] with a commentary and everything."[3]

Reception

Derek Elley of Variety said the film showed "more wit and invention than most of its no-budget Brit saddlemates."[4] Time Out said, "Wright may not be in the class of Robert Rodriguez, but he has talent", and said the film was "[b]est seen after a couple of beers."[5] Nick Allen of RogerEbert.com called it "...delightfully dorky, irreverent and scrappy, the exact kind of project a young filmmaker would make if they just wanted to make fellow nerds laugh and were pretty good at doing so."[6] Ethan Anderton of SlashFilm said, "What makes [the film] so delightful is that it's a spaghetti western send-up that respects the genre as much as it makes fun of it."[7] Stark of Pornokitsch said, "As a Western, it's good fun, and as a debut, it's a hell of an effort."[8] Ramsey Ess of Vulture said, "While [the film is] missing many of the trademark editorial flourishes and camera tricks that would be adopted by the time Shaun of the Dead came around, it's still a well-constructed, quickly paced piece of work."[9]
