The Gunslingers

Collection of six short films from Nova. "Hayracker" — Morning at the ranch finds one of the hands asleep in the hay rack. and the foreman decides that discipline should coincide with his own lusty needs. "Lonesome Cowboy" — Hunky cowpoke and macho bartender match one another stroke for stroke. "Tenderfoot" — A greenhorn gets a pleasant demonstration of bunkhouse protocol when he inadvertently catches an experienced hand in the midst of his midnight ritual. "Midnight Cowboys" — Evening can be a solitary time but it's not too bad if you have a warm fire in the fire pit, a guitar to strum and a horny buddy to keep your interest up. "Horseplay" — Unloading bales of alfalfa leads into some heavy sex for a couple of very cocky ranchhands. "Corralled" — A couple of horse-cocked studs begin at ease on a corral fence but they are soon taking hot turns at breaking in one another's watering mouths and twitching assholes.

Directed by Scott Masters, The Gunslingers leans on a strong ensemble — Scott Anderson, Kevin Hayes, Bo Richards — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1981.
