22. BraveStarr: The Movie

Scarlet: 9

Snake: 13

Karo: 19

Total Score: 185

Scarlet: You have to wonder why Karo thought a list of bizarre and obscure television shows that the vast majority of America likely dismissed as the drivel that it was, leaving no impact on society whatsoever, was worthy of the time of Gauntlet Crew. Especially when you puzzle your way through the story of Star Trek: Voyagers Chakotay in his early days. This unique science fiction rendition of Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron was riddled with an unclear narrative that may or may not have included flashbacks but certainly did enjoy its fight sequences - probably to the detriment of the rest of the film.
Rating: 30/100

JONA: I honestly dug the mix of Wild West and sci-fi here. You could've fooled me if you said that this was an original movie because this movie stands on its own pretty well, with no knowledge of the show. Bravestarr's actually kinda likable even if he's a bit on the generic side. I don't know; I just kinda dug the movie.

Snake: Interesting mix of western and sci-fi but the movie is merely servicable. I didnt care for the animation too much either. Not a lot to say about this one.

Johnbobb: One of the common issues with some TV movies is the pacing; a normal kids show has a full plot wrap up in 22ish minutes, while the movie has to stretch it out for around 3-4 times that. This is the main issue I ran into with Bravestarr. In the time that it felt like this conflict couldve been conquered, it had barely even started. Once Bravestarr was really introduced though, I honestly started to get a kick out of it. Its pretty dumb, and doesnt exactly hold up well over time, but by the end youre left with a goofy sci-fi western comedy with a super-powered douchey hero thats worth a laugh if nothing else.

Karo: BraveStarr is about a young Native American intergalactic cowboy with mystic superpowers who is the last descendant of a race of technologically advanced Space Indians. He is sent on a mission to the planet of New Texas, where all the buildings look like space age versions of the American old west, and everyone wears cowboy hats with their spacesuits and rides metallic hover-bulls. The reason behind the mission is that an ancient evil bovine spirit has brought back a notorious cowboy outlaw as a zombie and granted him the ability to cast wizard spells (pretty sure there are rules for that somewhere in the D&D handbook).
Bravestarr soon gains the aid of several other heroes, such as a talking anthropomorphic cyborg horse who can transform into his steed, a female supermodel judge with a magic gavel, and a weird furry thing that seems to be the result of Jar Jar Binks having sex with a gopher.
Once the initial hilarity of the insane concept wears off, the realization sets in that the movie is actually fairly dull and boring. The 'cute' antics of the native prairie dog people are so absolutely irritating they make Snarf and Scrappy Doo actually look like good characters by comparison.
There is a reason why when iconic 80's kids franchises are enumerated, BraveStarr is rarely counted among them.

Red: The fact that this movie takes place on a planet called New Texas immediately tells you how weird and strange it is. Some random dude destined to defeat some evil being who has assembled a whole bunch of evil beings using his various animal powers which will magically save the day. And its all western themed for some reason because going into space turns people feral or something idk. New Texas is only topped by Purries on the cringe scale, tbh.
