Product Description Two rodeo pals from way out west take a bite out of the big apple in this hilarious bronco-bucking comedy. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 06/01/2004 Starring: Woody Harrelson Keiger Sutherland Run time: 102 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Gregg Champion
Amazon.com Somebody in Hollywood thought there was some fish-out-of-water potential in this teaming of wild man Woody Harrelson and slow-burning Kiefer Sutherland as a pair of New Mexico cowboys who go to New York to tame the wild, wild, uh ... East. Well, they were mistaken, because this 1994 action-comedy is little more than a tiresome reworking of Crocodile Dundee. Woody and Kiefer head for the Big Apple to rescue the illegal-immigrant daughter of one of their rodeo buddies (who has mysteriously disappeared), and what they discover is a sweatshop operation run by a hot-tempered thug (Dylan McDermott, before his role on TV's The Practice). That's when the boys start using their ropin' and shootin' skills to foil the bad guys. One measure of this film's credibility is the inevitable scene of the boys riding on horseback through the gridlocked streets of Manhattan. Uh huh. You know how it goes... you just have to go with it or marvel at the sheer stupidity of it all. Of course, forget all the sniping if you're a fan of Harrelson or Sutherland--they're both doing their best under the burden of disadvantage. --Jeff Shannon
DelightfulJuly 17, 2008 This was one of the most delightful feel good movies I have seen in some time. I added it to my collection of great movies. It had action, comedy and feelings. One of the good ones to watch. CEH
Loved it!July 9, 2008 Very funny movie which I thoroughly enjoyed - and I'm not even a fan of one of these actors or of western movies in general. Once I watched it, I bought several copies as gifts for friends who have enjoyed it too.

Sonny (Kiefer Sutherland)and Pepper(Woody Harrelson )are New Mexico cowboys .Sonny is the more sober and responsible of the pair while Pepper lives up to his name by being hot headed and quick tempered.They travel to unfamiliar territory ,New York City,to find a friend who has gone missing in the city.The man's daughter had previously vanished having been kidnapped by a gang using the sweated labour of illegal immigrants and kidnap victims .The plot revolves around their attempts to locate their friend and his daughter and there is a sub-plot about the attempts of one of the gang members(played by Dylan McDermott)to take over the leadership of the gang from the present incumbent -and being none too scrupulous as to methodology.
The comedy of the movie arises from incongruity -cowboys in a Latino bar ,trains being chased by horse riding cowboys and a Black New York cop with aspirations to live the cowboy lifestyle .The movie is a juxtaposition of "sophisticated"urban ways cheek by jowl with outsiders with an altogether more innocent ,naive and trusting view of the world ands who prove more than a match for the urbanites in many ways
Sutherland and Harrelson are fine and make a good pairing and help make the movie eminently watchable .The subject was better -and more soberly -treated in Coogan's Bluff but in its own cartoonish and broad way this is an energetic and watchable time passer

To put it straight and simple, COWBOY WAY is a fun filled couple of hours with some real men tearing up New York City.
Sonny (Kiefer Sutherland) and Pepper (Woody Harrelson) are a couple of New Mexico cowpokes looking for their friend Nacho, after he up and left to get his daughter out a New York sweatshop. When the cowboys find out that Nacho's been killed by the lowlife (Dylan McDermott) running a racket smuggling young girls like Nacho's daughter into the US to work as slave labor in his rag factories, they're ready to open up an econo-sized can of whupass on the dude, his crew and anybody else who gets in their way.
Sutherland plays it level-headed and cool to Harrelson's hilarious cocky redneck in the big city, and together they make a fine pair.
Highlights in this movie include Harrelson wearing Sutherland's ears out during the ride to New York. The scene with them ordering dinner at a five-star hotel will also leave many of you fellas rolling on the floor with laughter. Nothing, however, beats the scene with Harrelson showing up at a fashionista soiree, encountering high end floozies and a couple of Euroqueen designers cruising to get him out of his longjohns.
Considering that the saw's of torture porn continue buzzing away in dank and dismal hostels, while we are treated to yet another cinematic rendition of redacted defeatism playing out in the Valley of Elah, I've been appreciating my DVD player and movies like the COWBOY WAY here lately. What's more, here's an idea for a sequel to this movie that I'm offering to Hollywood free of charge, something that also fits into its fixation for politcal messages and its self-delusion of being duty bound to preach to the masses as well:
--Sonny and Pepper find out that their friend Ibrahim, who runs a string of concession stands selling falafel and kebabs on the rodeo circuit, has gone off in search of his son Omar, who he believes was absconded by the CIA to Egypt. After following their buddy to Cairo, the good ol' boys kick up some sand in between checking out the national bellydance championship finals.
(Now don't that sound nice?)

The 5.1 channel home-theater-in-a-box system features five tiny speakers - each about the size of a golf ball. The system, matched with a compact, single disc DVD/CD player/receiver, includes a unique subwoofer that helps the tiny speakers create sounds typically reserved for full size speakers.
While the system features small speakers, it packs all the power of conventional home theater-in-a-box systems with 450 watts of total system power (satellite speakers 50W x 5, plus 2-way subwoofer 100W x 2). The system is specially tuned to deliver a natural sound field that takes the focus off the subwoofer while supplementing mid range and lower frequencies.
