Dead Again in Tombstone (2017 Video) User Reviews

Meh!

[p-jonsson · 5/10 · 25 October 2017]

The first movie, Dead in Tombstone, was fairly okay. Not great but okay. This movie, the second installment, was a bit of a disappointment though. The general idea is a good one. At least it is one I would generally have liked. However, it is really poorly implemented.

Danny is supposed to be the devil's servant imbued with supernatural powers and supposed to kick some serious ass. You know, a bit like Ghost Rider in the old west. Unfortunately he is nothing but. Most of the time he is roaming around sulking and trying to patch things up with his daughter.

He is really not showing much in terms of terrifying presence or supernatural powers. Whenever he springs into action he is just blundering in shooting at everything that moves and usually he gets shot up and "dies" in the process. Afterwards he get's revived and the process starts all over again.

Towards the end of the movie we finally get some supernatural action but it is really too late to save it and not really that impressive to begin with.

On the whole the script is pretty bland and unconvincing. It is more suitable for a TV-show episode than a feature movie.

Really a shame. I generally like Danny Trejo when he is playing bad ass.

Tries so hard

[zebulonguy · 5/10 · 18 October 2017]

I so wanted to like this movie and in some parts it does deliver, there is an excellent stagecoach sequence when the villains are in "hot pursuit". Danny Trego is OK in the lead but I feel he just cannot have enough talent to carry the film through on his own. The plot is discussed elsewhere but the mixture of a western and the supernatural is always interesting and as I said some sequences are rather well done and some of the landscapes are very impressive. The problem is a weak script and the major "downer" for the entire movie is Jake Busey, he may have inherited his father's looks but certainly none of his acting talent. His performance is one of the worst I have ever seen in a movie and has to be seen and heard to believe such bad acting is possible. A shame because the film is a valiant attempt and let down by the second lead.

Why is it that bad of acting?

[javiergarcon · 4/10 · 21 May 2021]

Seriously why is it that bad of acting every time he star in it? Is it on purpose? It feels this is on purpose because by now it is getting to be obvious, I mean Arnold is doing way better with his movies since "Terminator" he has definitely improved through the years but Danny Trejo seems to never improve. I really like him and his characters but he is killing me with his acting.

Terrible film.

[ricknav-06475 · 2/10 · 4 May 2021]

I gave this 2 stars only because I like Danny but he can do WAY better than this. This film was bad in so many ways that it's pointless to elaborate. Please Danny ... don't make any more movies like this. I would love to see you make more serious action/adventure films and dramatic roles as well. You are better than this ese.

Messy sequel

[Wizard-8 · 15 September 2017]

I only thought that the original "Dead in Tombstone" was just okay, but I decided to give this sequel a chance, given my love for westerns and for the fact that Danny Trejo was returning. Most likely you'll find this sequel a few notches below whatever you thought of the first movie, as I did. I admit that the movie looks pretty slick for the most part, though some interior scenes are either severely underlit or overlit, and there is some very unconvincing CGI blood and gore. But the script is kind of a mess. There are a number of plot points that are either vague or unexplained at all, and the result is that there is a feeling that the filmmakers were making things up as they went along. The sorry and clumsy script may explain why stars Danny Trejo and Jake Busey seem to be going on autopilot instead of delivering their lines with conviction and true menace. As for the action sequences, it comes across as standard stuff at best, not directed or choreographed in a way that grabs your attention. The movie is not dull, I admit, but all the same it's quite unsatisfying to watch.

AWFUL!

[gpxdlr · 1/10 · 6 June 2021]

After the first shootout where Danny's 6-shot guns never ran out of bullets, I quit. Don't waste your time, they sure wasted a lot of money on this stupid movie.

Some things should stay dead

[rdamian1963 · 2/10 · 14 May 2021]

There just shouldn't have been a sequel. The acting is horrible, the script is terrible and the shoot outs are awful.

the walking dead with danny trejo

[heirman_steven · 1/10 · 25 February 2018]

Movie reminded me of the walking dead i mean come on zombies in a western movie ?

Little Danny Trejo... to little, to late

[gkhege · 2/10 · 7 May 2021]

At a mere 5'6 inches tall and 73 years old, Danny maybe able to scare someone at the nursing home while playing a board game, but please, a western? Never in a million years is he going to convince he could be a real cowboy.

It could be that someone also thought If they dressed him in black, he could pass for a western bad guy.

I closing I will say, this film is just something to watch if you are bored out of your mind..

Actually, undead again

[unbrokenmetal · 6/10 · 1 December 2017]

Colonel Boomer (Jake Busey) suspects that Guerrero (Danny Trejo) knows where a book about black magic rituals is hidden. He threatens to kill his family, consisting of daughter Alicia (Elysia Rotaru) and grandma (Michelle Rios, much too young for the role and therefore covered with ridiculous make-up) if Guerrero doesn't tell him the hiding place. Now Guerrero is undead since his pact with the devil in part 1 and comes back several times from the dead. How can Boomer deal with a man he cannot kill, how can Guerrero save his family, and what does the magic book really do?

The first movie was a horror movie in the disguise of a western, but the sequel - apart from the MacGuffin, the magic book - is a much more traditional western about protecting your family against gunfighters (even if some of them are zombies). The technical qualities are good. For example the scene when Boomer blows up a stagecoach and at the same time, Guerrero is caught in an explosive trap in the town, the two explosions are cut parallel to each other, really elegant editing you hardly ever see in cheap movies. If I voted one notch below for the sequel (6 of 10 after 7 of 10 for the first movie) it's because 'Dead Again' lacks a villain of Mickey Rourke's caliber. Otherwise it is a satisfactory variation of the 'Undead Gunman' theme.

review

[Joop_van_Ralen · 3/10 · 24 October 2017]

haven't seen the first movie, just started and watched this one, i liked the story and it contained some beautiful shots, a bit too much frog perspective if you ask me. Also i think the pacing of the edit is way too slow!!! which makes the movie boring to watch...

next to that, there was a lot of gunfire and not a lot of evading or hiding, combined with bullet impact shots. (then i mean not just people going down, but bullets hitting the wooden stuff)

Costuming looked great, and so were the practical effects! Danny Trejo seemed a bit slow in both movement and acting but that might be the edit (not sure).

Therefore i rate this movie a 3/10

If You Enjoy Spagetti Westerns and Danny Trejo, Choose This

[LouAbbott · 8/10 · 1 November 2017]

If you enjoy spaghetti westerns (but not made in Italy or Spain), you'll enjoy "Dead Again in Tombstone." If you enjoy spaghetti westerns with supernatural overtones you'll enjoy "Dead Again in Tombstone." If you're a Danny Trejo fan you'll REALLY enjoy "Dead Again in Tombstone." Like Italian westerns, the film serves up plenty of action, and there are no heroes. Some reviewers assert that Trejo can't act. They don't realize that Trejo, may he be a good or bad actor, is more than that. He is a force of nature. Every scene he's in, your eyes are on him. Jake Busey as the baddest of the bad guys is excellent as a "Southern Gentleman" and ex-confederate soldier.

Rough Western, but Entertaining

[rutzelb · 7/10 · 13 September 2017]

Col Jackson Boomer (Jake Busey) badgers Guerrero (Danny Trejo) to give up the Bone Box (that contains The Devil's Bible, which will insure he has immense power over the entire world). Guerrero has come back from the Dead as Lucifer has him under control, but he claims he has no idea where the box is or what it is.

This is a somewhat supernatural western story and we will see a lot of shooting, blood squirting here and there and numerous explosions…..and oh, yes, a coming back from the dead too. Supernatural, remember?

In time, the Devil's Bible is given to Col Jackson Boomer, but something is wrong. It is not enough and Jackson figures this out. Something is missing. What could it be?

We see Jackson Boomer hanging out in the brothel run by Madame Du Vere (Elizabeth Lavender) and we also see naked girls making out with customers and with each other, too. Guerrero tries to re- establish himself with his estranged daughter Alicia (Elysia Rotaru) and his mother Zerelda De La Cruz (Michelle Rios) who tells Guerrero he must protect the bone box. Later,we see that his mother is quite handy with a gun too.

The acting is good all around, the music is good, the gun fights are well choreographed, but the cinematography is awesome and almost a work of art on their own. Kudos.

Notable: Dean McDermott as Dr Goldsworthy who we suspect is something more than human and he tries to have Guerrero reject Lucifer's hold on him. Supernatural, remember?

This is no holds barred western and is quite rough, but very entertaining. (7/10)

Violence: Yes. Sex: No.. Nudity: Yes. Language: Yes.

The sequel died in Tombstone.

[filipemanuelneto · 1/10 · 15 December 2022]

If the first film already seemed quite cheap and didn't bet so much on quality, this film is even worse and more miserable. They are both niche films, oriented to satisfy a certain part of the public that looks for raw action films, and not that elegant and classic cinema that almost everyone likes. However, I don't know if this was even able to satisfy the audience for which it was intended.

The problems start with the script, miserably written, and the poor and slick conception of the characters. After abandoning the service of the Devil, Guerrero (in essence he is a recycling of the Ghost Rider, minus the flames and bones) remains immortal and doing justice around. But in this film he'll have to go further and effectively protect a mysterious evil relic that's endlessly sought after by Jackson Boomer, a former Confederate colonel who's hell-bent on unleashing absolute evil upon the land, and who won't hesitate to threaten Guerrero's daughter to get it.

In addition to the endless errors of anachrony, capable of making the mind of an American history teacher boil with indignation, the film falls into successive clichés that make it dull and a little absurd. Furthermore, the action is so intense that the film feels like a gigantic video game, and we never feel any real emotion. If the main character seems purposeless, now that he is doggedly protecting a relic without any sense or religious basis, the villain is even worse: I had already noticed in some films that it is interesting to give the villain the uniform of the Confederates ("The Hateful Eight", for example), but has everyone already forgotten that in wars, and in armies, good and bad men fight on both sides of the barricade?

Danny Trejo doesn't add anything here that he didn't do better in the first film. He's not a bad action actor, but he's a ham in the sentimental scenes, especially when he tries to play with Elysia Rotaru, who plays the hero's sexy and not-too-defenseless daughter. Jake Busey isn't particularly good either, and never poses a real threat no matter how hard he tries, and Elizabeth Lavender is sidelined for most of the film.

As with its predecessor, it bets everything on cheap and permanent action, almost turning into a rock movie or a video game, given the amount of auditory and visual noise, and the poor quality of what is presented to us. It's a rather unfortunate film that would have done better had it never been released.

Wow. Another movie that sucks and blows

[snuggybearkids · 2/10 · 30 November 2021]

It's unfathomable that these kind of horribly cringeworthy movies get made. Eye rolling, vomit induced writing, dialogue that even Helen Keller would detest, overused slow motion tropes, directing out of bad westerns 101, the continuity of a passing lane's yellow broken lines and for the most part, wasted actors (meaning they were probably wasted when they signed on to this). The first Dead Again chapter that this sequel follows wasn't that much better but at least it didn't make me want to go to the bathroom as much as this turd. Everyone thinks they're a screenwriter, everyone thinks because they've gone to a film class that they can make a good movie. Well, anyone can break eggs, but not anyone can cook them to where you want to eat them. Another Netflix acquired trash. They should have called it Brain Dead Again in Hit in the Headstones. Oh, and the title? It doesn't even take place in Tombstone. Figure that one out. And don't forget to throw in some living dead, who don't really make much effort, a Madame trying hard to be like Doc Holiday's bitch and other tropes stirred in, including a buffalo for like a minute, (I guess figuring they needed something for Danny Trejo to ride into town on when his horse is blown up), never running out of bullets guns and rifles that miss their close range targets more than Stevie Wonder would, some sort of doctor who may be an angel inserted in an attempt to create redemption, and more plot points than at a cemetery. I don't what made me sicker, the money they spent to make it, or that I watched it.

it's Danny trejo

[mrrebel-80382 · 3/10 · 5 January 2022]

Gotta love the 20 shot six shooters.. but it's Danny Trejo. Who seems to have a magical way of making anything he's in watchable. Not much of a plot at all, but like I stated.. it's Danny Trejo. So just put away the history crap, sit back and watch a half decent movie.

What Did I Just Watch?

[dudewholikesthepits · 3/10 · 27 May 2021]

This comes off like the script was written in a single, drunken sitting. It has a decent concept, but the execution is as bad as the one.to which Delacroix was.subjected in The Green Mile. Horrible acting (I'm looking at your hopeless, stereotypical "southern gentleman" accent Busey). Not even a fun popcorn flick as you'll find your mind drifting.

Not as good as the first, but visually stunning and very entertaining.

[paulclaassen · 6/10 · 6 December 2020]

Here we go again! Danny Trejo returns as Guerrero for another round of killings. This time the antagonist is Jackson Boomer (Jake Busey). He was a friend of Guerrero's stepbrother and is now in pursuit of a box containing a book that will give him incredible power.

The film follows on the events of 'Dead in Tombstone'. We learn more about Guerrero's family and meet his daughter and mother, and also realize there was a reason the Devil made a deal with him in the first film. With Roel Reine returning as director, this is another visually stunning treat - visually even better than the original film. The cinematography is STUNNING. The photography and aerial shots are FANTASTIC. There are some films I'll watch again and again for the sake of the cinematography - and this is such a film. It's one amazing shot after the next. Some shots are breathtakingly beautiful. It's the type of photography you expect from big budget productions.

Just like 'Dead in Tombstone', 'Dead again in Tombstone' is fast-paced and filled with action, adventure, suspense, gore, fantasy, and there's that great score again. As the film progressed, it became more intense with incredible scenes. The carriage chase sequence was stunningly well done. The final act is very supernatural and fantastical, but the film nevertheless remained interesting and exciting. It might not be as good as the original film, but this was good in its own right. I certainly was entertained!

Would I watch it again? Yes.

Hilarious

[connerpdavis · 8/10 · 10 July 2021]

The plot is hard to follow at best, and the physics make no sense. However, watch this movie and enjoy it for what it is. An absolutely hilarious compilation of what is happening moments. From the unlimited ammo to the explosions and the flying bodies, this movie had me laughing the whole way. I love how random and almost off the cuff the entire thing is. Overall if you want a serious movie this isn't it, but if you want to have a good time watching an inhuman force destroy evil, this is the movie for you.

Dead again? Undead again is more like it...

[paul_haakonsen · 6/10 · 9 June 2018]

This was actually a surprisingly nice movie! Especially when taking into consideration the synopsis for the movie, and the fact that it has Danny Trejo and Jake Busey starring in it.

I will say that both Danny Trejo and Jake Busey were performing quite well in "Dead Again in Tombstone". And they were nicely cast for the two roles.

The storyline was rather entertaining as it was a classic western, spiced up with some supernatural elements. And there was also lots of action throughout the movie. So what's not to like?

Sure, this is not a major Hollywood blockbuster, but it definitely was a surprisingly nice movie. Sure, I didn't have much of any expectations to begin with, so I was easily surprised.

I found "Dead Again in Tombstone" to be entertaining and enjoyable, and I can definitely recommend it if you like watching movies with Danny Trejo in it.

Trejo kicks behind and that really is what you are here for

[Warren-Watched-A-Movie · 7/10 · 22 September 2020]

Danny Trejo returns once again as the western outlaw Guerrero. The movie opens better than the first one did which I like. It is much more ominous and feels like they are discussing a legend. A mysterious and bloody cowboy rides into town and walks into a saloon and tells the story of Guerrero de la Cruz and what he does. Perfect execution there.

Guerrero is still doing the Devil's work by sending the damned to hell. Strangely the Devil is not ever seen in this movie in any real form. It is a real disappointment because Mickey Rourke was pretty good in the first one. He is talked about a lot, but you never see him. Not even a flashback clip. This film is sorely missing the presence of Mickey Rourke as the Devil. He was menacing and dark and a good foil for Trejo.

Dead Again in Tombstone also rehabs Guerrero by making him a dark good guy who was tricked by the Devil. I find fighting for your soul much more interesting than being God's hitman. Then again, I guess if you cannot get the actor that played the Devil in the last movie you need to do something that takes the character out of the narrative.

While Trejo was a little more tough here, I am bothered that they made him work for God. It is a serious rehab that could have been left for a third film rather than the second. It would have been better to have him fight the Devil's mechanizations than to have been tricked. I think it steers the film towards those boring Pureflix movies. If the reason for this was indeed the loss of Mickey Rourke in the part then send another demon to do his bidding as a middleman.

Jake Busey is pretty good as the villainous Jackson Boomer. He plays him as a little bit of a cocky jerk which is more or less how he plays most of his characters. Boomer is very much a Southern gentleman here of old-style Westerns but also very evil. He apparently learned of the bone box that is the focus of everything before the beginning of the film from Guerrero's half-brother Red Cavanaugh. From my perspective there was implied supernatural knowledge by Red in the opening scenes of the original, but nothing ever came of that. It felt like Boomer was tossed in at the last minute because they could not get Hall to show up. I think if they had waived a little bit more money in the face of Anthony Michael Hall he could have been brought back, and we could have had another showdown between Trejo and Kavanaugh.

Mother de la Cruz (Michelle Rios), Guerrero's mother, looks younger than Trejo. Something about her just did not look older than Trejo. Elysia Rotaru as the daughter Alicia was not too bad. She was a tough character and gave as good as Trejo.

Guerrero gets some help this time from Dr. Goldsworthy (Dean McDermott) who resurrects him when he gets killed by Boomer. Boomer joins forces with a local brothel owner named Madame Du Vere (Elizabeth Lavender). That alliance along with this woman's ability to "see the truth" feels a little out of left field. It just happened. Even more awkward was that this prostitute seemed to abruptly become the arch nemesis of Guerrero's daughter. She had a few bad things to say about Alicia but nothing suggesting they would punch it out in the end.

I draw issue with the interior shots which were very dark. Night or day it was hard to see. Get some lighting in there. We accept a little unrealistic lighting in film but usually in the direction of seeing better. I am not sure if Reiné felt that serious darkness added authenticity or the lighting guy quit before those scenes were done.

The story is not too bad but a little disjointed. Some of the events feel made up as they went along as if they could not film what they wanted but still had to do something since the cameras were there. The acting is better than you would expect from a direct video release. Trejo once again is great as a Western tough guy. But then again Danny Trejo is always good.

Dead Again in Tombstone is a decent supernatural Western. It is not Academy Award material, but it is not a complete waste. They play up the supernatural elements a bit more here than in the last film which is good, but we are missing Mickey Rourke which is not so good. Enjoyable but far from perfect.

Machete Dead Again In Tombstone

[nikola17 · 9/10 · 17 September 2017]

Never Knew It Was Going To Be A Sequel Out of First Movie Dead In The Tombstone Never Knew That Was Coming I Thought Sometimes When First Movie Ends It's Feeling We Know Theirs No Sequel On Works But Now In This Year With New Sequel Of Dead Again Tombstone And I Thought It Still Kicks Ass Mind Blowing I Bought Film From EBAY On Blu Ray Region B. Thank God It Turned Out To Be Very Good Fun Sequel Their Is Moments Shows Events From First Movie. Now Roel Reiné Is Good Director But He Needs To Stop Doing Cash Grab Directing Movies Based On First Film Turn Into A Low Budget Like Death Race 2, Death Race 3, Hard Target 2, Condemned 2, The Marine 2, The Scorpion King 3: Battle For Redemption, 12 Rounds 2: Reloaded Witch I Didn't Like, The Man With The Iron Fists 2 OK I Like These Movies But I Wish It Could Be A Bigger movies bigger Budget Together But Cash Grab Sequels Really Needs To Have A Bigger

Budget He Has Made His Own Movie Like Pistol Whipped With Steven Seagal Witch I Loved And Dead In Tombstone Franchise Good But Needs A Bigger Budget. Now Danny Trejo Is Really Enjoying Himself Playing In This Franchise Like Machete All Of His Another Movies Looks Like He Is Enjoying It. Plot Start's From Guerrero (Danny Trejo) Leaves Town He Travels To Another Town And In This Story It Shows He Has A Daughter And Mother So In His Character It's Telling Little More About Him. He Tries To Re- Establish himself Meaning Re- Connect With His Estranged Daughter Alicia (Elysia Rotaru) And His Mother Zerelda De La Cruz (Michelle Rios) Who Tells Guerrero He Must Protect The Bone Box. Later, We See That His Mother Is Quite Handy With A Gun Too Witch I Thought That's A Strong Family. New Villain Is Jake Busey and Again Who Knows Their Will Be a From Dusk Till Dawn Season 4 He Is Their To Get Paycheck In This Movie (Jake Busey) Colonel Jackson Boomer Wants Black Box With Some Book Relic Which Will Ultimately Cause Hell Upon Earth. Guerrero Dies Again Shot Buy Jackson Army. Thats Why It's Called Dead Again In Tombstone But It Doesn't Show Him Going To Hell Again Because It Was Annoying When That Happened. So Doesn't Do That He Keeps Coming

Back To Alive Again Witch I Wish It Could Happen In First Movie Rather Then Him Dying Again Showing Him In Hell Keeps Coming Back Too Many Times Oh, Yes, A Coming Back From The Dead Too Supernatural In West kind Of Thing. (Dean McDermott) as Dr Goldsworthy who we suspect is something more than human and he tries to have Guerrero reject Lucifer's hold on him. Supernatural, remember that ? Jackson Boomer and and his gang of army goes to bar and we also see naked girls making out with customers and with each other. so that's what they do Jake Busey did a great job he did good in film not best villain but he least he was good. the action is great still have Danny Trejo kicking ass shooting up bad guys in wild west style i like he still sends people to hell still. i thought Daughter Alicia (Elysia Rotaru)was strong female daughter i liked her but she made a bit silly decision but she still did good in movie i didn't mind it. The CGI all that looked horrible

looked so bad see it yourself but i don't hate movie so badly of that it's still fun flick it kicks a lot of ass. This is a somewhat supernatural western story and we will see a lot of shooting, blood squirting here and there and numerous explosions. and it's badass looking Danny Trejo dressed like Undertaker Wrestler thank god theirs not much CGI in this movie it's so good not to have so much CGI i

thought looked horrible in this movie. so their was bit of it. script doesn't make bit sense when In time, the Devil's Bible is given to Col Jackson Boomer, but something is wrong. It is not enough and Jackson figures this out. Something is missing. What could it be? but rest of Script is good but hey don't hate it just because of that sometimes in films writers will sometimes miss something like that. but hey it's still fun flick I Loved still but don't get bothed with CGI and missing bits of scripts enjoy movie try that if you seen the first movie then watch this it's really entering movie it's so good 9.10 it's fun wild west film with high body counts and loads of action

And the horse you rode in on

[nogodnomasters · 6/10 · 13 September 2017]

This is the much awaited sequel to "Dead in Tombstone." Oh how do they come with such clever names? If you missed the first film, you can pick up of the gist of it early on. Guerrero (Danny Trejo) is back from the dead, killing for the devil. There is no bike, no flaming skull head, and best of all, no Nicklaus Cage. Colonel Jackson Boomer (Jake Busey) a former Confederate officer leads a band on men into town (which is not Tombstone BTW) wanting to get "the box" that will unleash satanic powers and save his life. He also has the help of the local madam (Elizabeth Lavender).

So now we get the backstory, not knowing there was a backstory. It is the same shoot 'em up, slow motion swagger, "I'm not dead yet" type of stuff we see in most action films. Plot is straight forward and kind of makes you wonder which side is the devil on? But Busey explains that in a sober moment.

Guide: F-word. Implied sex. Nudity (Elizabeth Lavender, Gwyn Auger +uncredited)

"Well, some men are more dead than others."

[classicsoncall · 6/10 · 29 March 2019]

Here's something to think about - the title is "Dead Again in Tombstone", but all the action takes place in Silver River. "Dead Again in Silver River" doesn't quite cut it though, so I guess you can overlook the discrepancy. At least Tombstone showed up on a road sign pointing in the opposite direction from Silver River.

Man, this Danny Trejo doesn't stop making pictures. If you look at his cast credits here on IMDb, he's got more than two dozen going in various stages of production that haven't been released yet. The guy is in his mid-Seventies! I was taken with Trejo's look the first time I ever saw him, can't remember which picture, but he's always a blast. It's somewhat hard to figure what Trejo's character Guerrero is in this picture - ghost, zombie, resurrected human? It only adds to the mystery of his persona. No mystery about Jake Busey's character though. Jackson Boomer is just an out and out badass willing to cut down anyone in his way. No mistaking his look either, he's the spittin' image of his father at around the same age.

The original "Dead in Tombstone" had more demonic elements in it, and Mickey Rourke's presence added a bit more spark to the proceedings, but this was almost on the same level with the grim and gritty. And the Devil's Book hidden away in the Bone Box had a mystique to it, maybe more so in the telling than in the execution. What I thought was kind of interesting at the finale was the way Guerrero's daughter Alicia (Elysia Rotaru) gave new meaning to the term 'horny' when she used the old Lucifer Horn on Boomer after the hatchet job she did on Madame Du Vere (Elizabeth Lavender). The girl could hold her own.

Possibly the best, as well as the most ironic line in the film: Alicia to Guerrero - "Didn't we bury this horse?" I think the horse should have gotten a screen credit.

Just as much fun as the first film & it's great to have Danny Trejo back Guerrero!!!

[lukem-52760 · 6/10 · 11 July 2021]

The chilly & cold ruggedness of the grim Wild West is back for this Cool sequel of the Cult hit favourite, which i liked as it's got a real stark grim look of those harsh times & back with the bleakness is the excellent Danny Trejo as Guerrero, who is by now a Mythical warrior of vengeance & Trejo is Awesome once again.

Another B-movie star JAKE BUSEY (Starship Troopers) makes for a really slimy & nasty villain for Guerrero to go up against as Jackson Boomer & Busey who is in so many Direct-to-dvd films starred in another Good Trejo movie called REAPER, well worth checking out. Busey is have fun playing this evi leader of a gang who wants a hidden treasure that is a powerful ancient old book, the book of the dead, that will heal him & give his powers to control the dead & the living so a typical movie villain thing to want but it's fun.

With this sequel we get to know Guerrero more & meet his family & we get more a sense of his character here & that he's not a totally evil guy & we like him more so.

Trejo is such a good actor that his lines throughout the whole film feel so natural like it's what you would say & doesn't even feel scripted & i loved him even more so for that as his Guerrero felt real & natural even in this fantasy world. Trejo brings his natural rugged charm to Guerrero once again & as said i felt more for him here as a man & a human even though the devil still commands him. I did miss Mickey Rourke as the devil from the first film as he wasn't here but the film still was decent & hey i liked Jake Busey as the bad guy more here than that of Anthony Michael Hall in the first so both have their better bits & not so good bits. The usual big shootouts without ever reloading is back again but that's usual for a low-budget B-movie anyway especially a cheap Western.

Although a low-budget movie the old western town looks great as it did in the first film, so the production is very good & the music is often moody or frantic depending on the scene & usually works fine. I actually like these "Tombstone" films more than Trejo's "Machete" films because these are more serious & gritty adventures without the over silliness & comical moments that his "Machete" films are known for, i like the more natural flow of these films as grim 'n' gritty Supernatural Westerns with a few laughs sprinkled throughout but not over-the-top silliness.

There is some decent action that is similar in style to the first film but i did like the Magical Book mythology here that is steeped in old evil rituals & satanic cults & devil worshippers & stuff & even zombies!!!! That was all fun & interesting. This Awesome Avenger Guerrero should have his own franchise of films but i know Trejo now is in his late 70's so I'm just thankful & grateful that i have two Awesome Dead in Tombstone films to cherish & Trejo is now a Legend, a hero of Cult Cinema & all round well known nice guy who cherishes what he does & i love the happy energy he gives in his interviews as you can feel how happy he is to be an actor & how lucky he knows he is to here doing this!!! Trejo is a Gem of an actor & a fantastic screen presence & i actually think this sequel "Dead Again In Tombstone" is my favourite of his lead-starring films. Guerrero is definitely my favourite Trejo character followed by "Machete" of course. Yep a whole franchise could be built around Guerrero because he's such a Cool Bad-Ass Character.

So Dead again in Tombstone is an Awesome sequel with a more Mythical Danny Trejo as Guerrero & with an even more Supernatural & Exciting storyline, so enjoy.

Both "Tombstones" are Awesome flicks & both as good as each other in their own ways but this sequel is slightly better in my opinion.
