You need to be a Lonesome Dove fan. If you are, you'll love this too.

"Streets Of Laredo" here on Amazon dot com - if you do a rated NC-17 search, this western is among that group. I think they meant PG-13, because I've seen more graphic violence in John Wayne westerns, and there is absolutely zero female nudity anywhere start to finish. Zero. Technically, the actual listing says this movie is rated "NR" or not rated at all. Keep in mind it was a TV mini-series, part of "Lonesome Dove."
That having been said, "Streets Of Laredo" is a 1995 film (TV mini-series) based upon a 1993 novel by Larry McMurtry. The cast members I recognized are James Garner, Sissy Spacek, Sam Shepard, Ned Beatty, Randy Quaid, George Carlin, James Gammon, and other familiar faces such as frequent western portrayal of Indian tracker - Wes Studi, and Mexican lady portrayal - Sonia Braga, but the stand out here is Alexis Cruz as the train robber bandito character in this film. Alexis Cruz is the same young actor who portrayed Skaara/Klorel in the Stargate SG-1 episodes. The point being made here is that there are many accomplished actors and actresses in the making of this DVD.
This is a 2 DVD set, it takes 3 hrs and 44 min to watch, and although it qualifies easily as a western, I'm not so sure I can say there's anything remarkable about it enough to make it worth collecting unless you're a big fan of the "Lonesome Dove" series (books or TV mini-series).
I suppose the lure of a young man having a sharp shooter's rifle and being an unfeeling killer makes Amazon dot com want to list this 2 DVD set (Streets Of Laredo) among the extreme censorship rating search criteria because of all the media hype lately about how TV shows and Hollywood movies seem to encourage violence in real life for impressionable young people. If you're hoping for anything even at "R" rating out of this movie for flesh, forget it. It was a TV mini-series, not a HBO sex classic.
I don't care much for James Garner because I didn't ever like the TV role "Rockford Files" character. But having seen him in 1969's "Support Your Local Sheriff," I guess if none of the more believable western actors like Tommy Lee Jones, Sam Elliot, Robert Duvall, Kevin Costner, Gene Hackman, Tom Selleck, Terrence Hill, Bud Spencer, Ed Harris, or Clint Eastwood are available, then I suppose James Garner will do.
Is it a family film? Do you let your kids watch the evening news broadcast? If your family can tolerate the six o'clock news, they can easily handle "Streets Of Laredo."

The Real Sequel to Lonesome Dove.

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2002

Verified Purchase

This is the real, Larry McMurtry written, sequel to Lonesome Dove (not Lonesome Dove II), and it has all of McMurtry's specialities: well-drawn characters, absolutely viscious and unredeemable villains & murderers, and complex protagonists with a hell of a tale to tell.

Tommy Lee Jones was the perfect physical embodiment of hard-bitten Texas Ranger Woodrow Call. A small man, ramrod straight with a ferocious temper and will of iron that made him SEEM like a bigger man. But TLJ didn't make this trip for whatever reason. Instead, we have James Garner taking over as Woodrow, and he IS a big man and inately likeable. No matter, Garner is too good an actor not to win you over, and we quickly adjust to him as an older, more tired, laconic, but still mean as hell Woodrow Call.

Peaeye is now Sam Shepard and Lorena is Sissy Spacek and she has passed by all her would-be suitors and married the taciturn Ranger, become a school teacher, and together they have 5 children. Peaeye is called out of domesticity by Woodrow to chase down a teenage psychopathic killer, Joey Garza, with a sidetrip to chase down another bad bad man named Mox Mox whose specialty is burning men, women, children & animals alive for the fun of it.

And so it begins, with much emphasis on character and wild "characters" and with a casual understanding of the hard lives and brutality of the Texas of that time.

If you liked Lonesome Dove, you will like this. The cast changes were made with excellent people stepping into the familiar roles, and you will soon accept them and be caught up in the story. If you didn't like Lonesome Dove, too bad for you, and you definitely will want to skip this.

Though the advertising says it is compatible on all formats when I start up the dvd I see no way to change format.
I would appreciate an answer back from the seller.

Second best of the Lonesome Dove movies

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2015

Verified Purchase

A tough western in tough country (southwest Texas). The movie has some great characters that McMurtry is well known for adapting or creating. Captain Call is at the end of a bygone western era.

I went out to southwest Texas to see Big Bend National Park in early spring 1996. Very interesting.

Anyway, one day we took the River Road to Presidio. They had built the tiny village (Garza home) right by the Rio Grande just for this movie. It had been abandoned and cows were walking around the area. We drove on to Presidio and went to an old small fort. Some of it was utilized for the movie. In the yard was the wheel stone that Garner was using at the end of the movie. I tried it and it was warped to hell.

They filmed some in Big Bend National Park and in Bracketville where John Wayne filmed the Alamo. It was strange being at the lonely Alamo Village. For many westerns, it was a grand place to shoot.
The original Judge Roy Bean saloon was down the road and that was used in the film for the shots with Roy Bean.

I returned to southwest Texas in early spring 2009. The little village on the Rio Grande is now part of the Texas Parks and Wildlife. No cows and the miniature village looks nice.

Stark and Realistic Portrayal of the West

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 8, 2011

Verified Purchase

The 'Streets of Laredo' is my second purchase in the Lonesome Dove collection, which i am following up with 'Dead Man's Walk' and finally 'Commanche Moon', the latter has recently been shown on DSTV in South Africa and i thought to be far better than 'Streets of Laredo' and nearly as good as 'Lonesome Dove'.

James Garner's portrayal of Woodrow Call is a fine performance, in fact it is as good Tommy Lee Jones's performance in 'Lonesome Dove'. But the real stars of this film are the women and Sissy Spacek's role of wife to Call's friend Corporal Pea i thought was outstanding as was Sonia Braga as the Mother of the Mexican bandit played by Alexis Cruz, who 'Call' has vowed to hunt down. The women of the West were heroine's in their efforts to carve out lives for themselves and their families, no matter what their background.

I always imagined this aspect of women portrayed in Western films to be far fetched, but Larry McMurtry's women were REAL and this i found underscored as i am reading a biography of 'Nathan Bedford Forrest',the great Confederate Cavalry General in the American Civil War, whose Mother was as hard bitten as those portrayed in many a Western.

In fact this film is very much about the role of Woman in the West and in this respect the film succeeds admirably. However, this film is no 'Lonesome Dove' as there were too many coincidences and the young cold blooded bandit seamed out of place to the normal bandits shown in the Lonesome Dove sagas. He was too young and his gun shooting
too good to be true as was his rifle that was used.

I enjoyed the film as it was a stark and realistic portrayal of the West(Save for the young cold blooded bandit)
and am glad to have it in my DVD Library, but would only have given it *** if it had not been for brilliant portrayals of the Women and James Garner's performance. It is a must purchase if you are want to follow the complete series of 'Lonesome Dove' but do not expect the same involvement as 'Lonesome Dove'.

The picture quality and sound were good but being slightly hard of hearing would have appreciated English sub titles as there were parts that were not easy to understand.

A first rate western in the classic tradition. Although it deviates slightly from the magnificent novel of the same name by Larry McMurtry, it is still tremendous entertainment. James Garner does a great job as Woodrow Call, although out of character as the grouchy old so and so that Call is. Highly recommended for fans of westerns and/or Larry McMurtry.
