Product Description
He was a legend in his own time...and for all time. Jeff Bridges portrays Wild Bill Hickok, the hard-drinking, quick-shooting gunslinger who lived on the edge. Hickok's amazing story is told with a stunning visual style and lightning-fast pace, illuminating one of the most exciting heroes of the American West. Wild Bill is "an action-packed masterpiece" (Paul Wunder, WBAI Radio). In the town of Deadwood, South Dakota, Wild Bill must face his most lethal enemy. A mysterious stranger (David Arquette) has arrived announcing that he will not leave until Hickok is dead. Wild Bill finds comfort in the arms of sexy Calamity Jane (Ellen Barkin), but he is haunted by the memory of the one woman he truly loveda longing that could ultimately bring about his downfall. As Hickok andhis opponent near their explosive confrontation, the stage is set for a powerful climax unsurpassedin high drama and edge-of-your-seat excitement.

They're all here--all the characters who crossed paths with Bill. Calamity, Charley Prince, Buffalo Bill Cody, Will Plummer, California Joe, Dave Tutt, Phil Coe, Dave McCanles, and more. All straight from the pages of history. Of course some minor liberties may have been taken in translating history into film, but it's all in the name of art, and it all seems to be readily justifiable.
If Bill had a weakness, it wasn't women and it wasn't liquor and it wasn't, surprisingly enough, cards. It was his own insistence that others treat him with the same respect and dignity that he offered them. Some of the characters with whom he crossed paths never did come to embrace that realization, and their stay on earth ended far too ignominiously, if predictably.
Still, one of the deadliest characters to darken Bill's doorstep proved even more dangerous--and far more formidable--even than John Wesley Hardin, with whom Bill had a brief falling out. It was the glaucoma with which his eyes were stricken. The shooting pain he endured forced him to turn to liquor for solace--and then to less palatable, more debilitating substances, such as opium. Throughout it all, Calamity stood by him, loving him in her own peculiar way perhaps more than even she realized at the time.
The story of Wild Bill is one that many people know; the story of the man behind the moniker is unique. Bridges, Barker, Bruce Dern, and the other accomplished actors in this Walter Hill-directed tale of love and life are worth watching over and over again. Highly recommended.
This movie gives the impression that he and Calamity Jane had a hot and heavy romance in the past, but he only made it with her one time in film. This movie did cover Wild Bill being killed after being shot in the back of the head while playing cards. I recently saw a historical biography on Wild Bill Hickok, which covered in more detail the life of this famous gunfighter.
In conclusion, this is an excellent western action film that will be of interest to anyone who loves western movies.
Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Predator Hunter: A Warrior's Memoir)

Die drei Genannten Western Masterminds haben auch kleine Filme gemacht, Ride the High Country, The Wagon Master und The Tin Star,
die trotzdem heute kleine Meisterwerke sind. So auch Walter Hill. Wild Bill ist so ein kleines Meisterwerk. Jeff Bridges spielt hervorragend, schließlich spielt er gegen sein Naturell. Als er dies ein zweites Mal tat, 2010 im Remake des John Wayne Films True Grit, gewann er sogar einen Oscar, genauso für den Neo Western Hell or High Water wurde er erneut für den Oscar nominiert.
Ich hätte mir ein wenig mehr Laufzeit mit flüssigeren Übergängen gewünscht und die geballten Action Sequenzen am Anfang, die der Vorstellung des Charakters dienen, ein wenig über den Film verteilt. Dann hätte Wild Bill ein Epos sein können. Da Hollywood 1995 immer noch kein Geld für Western ausgab, wurde es ein kleiner nicht perfekter Autorenfilm und trotzdem ein kleines Western- Meisterwerk des vielleicht letzten Westernregisseurs alter Schule. Übrigens fast alle Walter Hill Filme sind Western: Ein Stahlharter Mann/Bronson, Driver/O'Neal, 48 Hrs/Nolte, Extreme Prejudice/Nolte (ein Wild Bunch Remake), Last Man Standing/Willis oder auch Red Heat/Schwarzenegger neben den unterschätzten echten Western: Long Riders, Geronimo und dem herausragenden Epos Broken Trail.
Unter Cineasten und auf Festivals erfahren Hills Film gerade ein Neubewertung und entsprechende Würdigung.
Auf diesem Hintergrund konnte ich dem Film sehr viel abgewinnen, da sich offenbar auch die Showrunner der Serie dort inspirative Motive geholt hatten. Leider fehlen Seth Bullock und Al Swerengen, aber schließlich ist Wild Bill die Hauptperson, dessen Lebenshöhepunkte in dem Film quasi posthum rückwirkend aus der Sicht der Beteiligten rekapituliert werden, ohne natürlich in einem völlig überzogenen und den tatsächlichen Begebenheiten in keinster Weise entsprechenden Showdown zu münden. Denn dass der wilde Bill ins Gras beissen muss, weiss jeder spätestens nach den ersten 5 Minuten, auch wenn er die Figur noch gar nicht kennen sollte.
Achso, und Keith Carradine kann wirklich alles spielen! Kenner der Serie werden wissen, dass er darin den Charakter des Wild Bills verkörperte - und zwar mindestens ebenso gut, Jeff Bridges hier im Film; der Habitus ist fast vollständig adaptiert. Im Film hat er einen kurzen Auftritt als Buffalo Bill Cody, was ein netter Cameo wäre, wenn der Film nach der Serie entstanden wäre.
Jeder, der Deadwool nicht gesehen hat, sollte hingegen lieber Appaloosa von und mit Ed Harris gucken. Das ist ein sogar noch neuerer Western, der in meinen Augen auch klasse gemacht ist, aber nichts mit Deadwood zu tun hat.
