  Maverick (1994)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Maverick: Well he doesn't eat much, but he's a regular jackass.
After making entertaining movies such as the "Lethal Weapon" movies, "The Goonies" and "Scrooged", Richard Donner the man behind all those movies, brings us "Maverick", an excellent and fun 'modern' western with a fun story and entertaining characters played by veteran-actors who seemed to have lots of fun working on this movie.
Yes, "Maverick" is a real fun 'no worries' movie.

And what makes this movie a must-see (because the plot leaves much to be desired) is the ability of the on-screen characters to create a personal connection with the audience.

 Movie Critique
Abit disappointed in the movie, i'm not sure if the copy i got was a cut version or not, there was not much for disturbing scenes, and if its not cut, people with weak stomachs dulled the integrity of the film.
This movie, omfg, i was squirming in my seat, not because it was scary, not because it was horific, because the victims was really fucking retarded, you'd think the deformed mutants were smarter.
I never heard of this movie until it was already out, but all i needed to know was that Mickey Rourke himself was one of the main characters, and a beautiful Keira Knightly, formally from Pirates of the Carribean, all i know is its about bounty hunters, which should make for a very interesting film.

 Maverick (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maverick is a comedy-western television series created by Roy Huggins that ran from September 22, 1957 to July 8, 1962 on ABC and featured James Garner, Roger Moore, Jack Kelly and Robert Colbert as the poker-playing traveling Mavericks (Bret, Beau, Bart and Brent).
Maverick bucked the trend by not being a particularly fast draw with a pistol, but like all TV cowboy heroes of the era, he was almost superhumanly impossible for anyone to beat in any sort of a fistfight (perhaps the one cowboy cliché that Huggins left intact, reportedly at the insistence of the studio).
Which Maverick brother happened to be the oldest was purposely left ambiguous, with both Bret and Bart emphatically claiming to be the youngest whenever the topic came up in conversation with a woman, but Jack Kelly was a year older than James Garner in life.

 Maverick
Maverick premiered on 22 September 1957, and pretty soon won over the viewers from the powerful opposition of CBS's The Ed Sullivan Show and NBC's The Steve Allen Show, two programs that had been Sunday night favourites from the mid-1950s.
Occasionally, both Maverick brothers were seen in the same episode, usually when they teamed up to help each other out of some difficult situation or to outwit even more treacherous characters than themselves.
A theatrical film version, Maverick, was produced in 1994 with Mel Gibson starring as Bret Maverick and Garner appearing as Bret's father; Richard Donner directed the Warner Brothers release.

 Maverick/Brian W. Fairbanks-Writer/Movie Reviews from Movienutz
Maverick, the big screen revision of the classic 1950’s TV western that brought stardom to James Garner, was named one of the worst films of 1994 by Entertainment Weekly, but it isn’t quite that bad.
Although there is plenty of charm and wit on hand in Maverick, there are also too many drawn out scenes in which the humor is so labored that it’s embarrassing.
If Maverick did nothing more than to pay homage to the fictional western heroes of the past, it would be well worth the viewer’s time.

 "Maverick" (1957)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Maverick was unlike any western that had been on television before.
Maverick was no coward, but he never went looking for trouble and he never would look for a face to face confrontation if a little back channel maneuvering would work as well.
James Garner was the original Bret Maverick and later Jack Kelly was brought in as brother Bart.

Maverick is a gambler, who'd much rather con someone or bluff his way out of a situation than fight.
This movie is full of "fun stuff" to watch for, from Danny Glover's cameo appearance as a bank robber (listen to that underscore, folks), Mel Gibson's brother Donal in the final poker game scene, and a host of country/western stars and familiar Western faces, too numerous to mention.
And he says the antic comedy of the movie owes much to Donner and Gibson's rapport from their collaboration on the "Lethal Weapon" franchise as well as the fact that a female character, Foster, has been added to the mix.

 BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Tarantino: Return of the movie maverick
The first film's notorious ear-slicing scene has passed into movie legend, while his gangsters' hip dialogue and knowing pop culture references have been imitated to the point of pastiche by lesser directors.
The movies had a huge cultural impact and led to Tarantino being feted as a genius - the most important US director since the likes of Martin Scorsese, Brian De Palma and Francis Ford Coppola 20 years earlier.
His love of kung-fu, noir and blaxploitation movies was formed as a lonely child growing up in suburban Los Angeles, often skipping school where he saw himself as "the dumb kid who couldn't keep up with the class".

Maverick's trying to raise the $5,000 needed to join the high-stakes contest, but that's easier said than done due to a lot of unscrupulous competition and a twisting plot of tricks and deceptions.
It's also fun to see the rapport between Gibson and Garner, as if the present and former Mavericks were a kind of surrogate son and father, bonded by their mutual skill in charming and conning their way through tight spots.
Maverick is a hilarious, enjoyable and fun film to watch and bears well over several viewings.

 Movie Maverick   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Perhaps the greatest honor Hollywood has unwittingly bestowed on Corman is the phrase "Corman film." It's something that is heard constantly in the low-budget circles of Los Angeles, where the febrile desire to direct a film, any film, hangs in the air as palpably as the burnt sienna smog of August.
A cheap, fast, exploitation movie that will be hell to make and sure doesn't pay anything, but could well be a ticket out of desperation.
While George Lucas launched a whole new movie technology with the demands of his Star Wars trilogy, Corman's pinched budgets required that the giant man-eating plant in The Little Shop of Horrors be operated with all-too-obvious fishing line.

THX 1138 has from the outset been hacked apart, Warner Brothers made cuts from the movie George Lucas gave them before it entered the theatres and has been lost forever because of their short-sightedness at the time.
A shot of workers making police robots has been added, this creates a larger scale to the operations and magnifies the fact that THX is just a drone in the operations and the system.
This is a testament to the original movie that it can still be viewed today without looking too 70s.

 Movie Info for Maverick [TV Series] on MSN Movies
By season three, the pattern of Maverick was fairly well set, with Jack Kelly handling the more serious and action-oriented episodes (which became fewer and farther between) and Garner doing the funny stuff.
But by the time the series entered its fifth and final season, the only Maverick on screen was old reliable Bart, who starred in the handful of episodes that were filmed to fill out what had essentially become a portfolio of reruns from the James Garner days.
The final episode of Maverick was telecast on July 8, 1962; however, the property would be revived on TV in 1979 as Young Maverick, with Charles Frank playing cousin Ben Maverick, and in 1981 as Bret Maverick, with James Garner reviving his original role.

 DVD Review - Maverick
Expert poker player Bret Maverick (Mel Gibson) is days away from the big poker championship game which, if won, stands to make him half a million dollars (that's lots of dead presidents for the late 19th Century).
During one of Maverick's stops, he meets up with the lovely "Mrs." Annabelle Bransford (Jodie Foster), and Marshal Zane Cooper (James Garner, who played Maverick on the original TV series from the '50s) - both of whom are on their way to the big game as well.
And as any movie fan knows, a great good guy deserves an evil bad guy - Angel (Alfred Molina) is one mean and tough hombre who must stop Maverick from making it to the big game.

Note/Comments: I don't believe that you have to have seen Maverick, the movie, to enjoy the story, but it is a great movie, and Mel Gibson is in it.
Anyway the idea for this story came from watching the character of Annabelle Bransford in the movie and thinking that she could very well be a young Maude.

A TV show that aired from 1957-1962, MAVERICK was an unusually formatted show.
The three leads rarely appeared in episodes together; instead they took it in turns to steal the limelight by featuring in a constantly-rotating format that saw each actor taking turns as the lead man in each episode.
The boys, Brett (James Garner of THE ROCKFORD FILES infamy), Bart, (Jack Kelly) and Bo Maverick (Roger Moore, AKA James Bond) were poker players who drifted across the country, trying to make a living from the game while also encountering a fair share of trouble along the way.
