Lucky Luke .. one of my childhood cartoon heroes! Really dug the comics and remember them fondly. Having said that, some of the decisions made here, especially casting wise do not check with what I remember. Beginning with Terence Hill, whom I love not just as a "sidekick" to Bud Spencer, but he's especially good in those movies.
I only watched this real life adaptation and not the sequel it spawned ... they might have done some things better there once they learned the ropes ... I did watch the French version of this ... which was especially funny because of the way they pronounce Lucky Luke ... I never thought of it be uttered that way. Anyway back to this and the movie is quite ok/decent, but not really that great. You got some interesting mannerisms by Hill and some throwbacks to the comics. One I especially liked was the "talking horse" (well it's more thinking horse, but we can hear its thoughts ... Jolly Jumper for the win) .... I was missing Rantanplan to be honest - but again maybe the sequel had him in it.
