Pull up your cowboy boots and strap on your six-shooter, we’re going western this time around with Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Joan Severance, and Rip Torn in the nonsensically titled Another Pair of Aces: Three of a Kind.
Featuring the most degenerate picture tilting this side of the Rio Grande. |
When Texas Ranger Rip Metcalf’s (played by Kristofferson, not Rip Torn) colleague and friend Captain Jack Parsons (who is played by Rip Torn) is accused of murder, it’s up to Rip 1 to clear his name. Noted gambler and character from the first movie Billy Roy “Ace” Rodriguez (Willie Nelson) joins him, along with the FBI agent Susan Davis (Joan Severance, who does not play a Rip, though she was in No Holds Barred which does have a character named Rip) as the token woman/love interest.
Friend and co-host Chris Dobson (left) uncannily resembles the swarthy scumbag murderer in the film (right). |
Shot around Central Texas, APoA: TofK provides a great glimpse of early 90s Austin, a view covered in a cowboy hats, drab state government buildings, and not condos.
Some Notes:
- We all know Another Pair of Aces is a shameless cash grab to capitalize on Walker, Texas Ranger (which came out two years later).
- REGULATOOOOORS. Mount up!
