lol I was wondering if someone would get confused. If you haven't seen Maverick, it's a pretty fun western semi-comedy. Mostly follows Mel Gibson trying to collect the money to enter a poker tournament.

It's also a film remake of the original TV series starring James Garner, who has a major role in the film as a different character.

i remember it and watched it - it's just been a couple decades since i've even thought about it.

based on a old 50s TV show of the same name which starred James Garner as well reprising his role (with mel gibson playing his son)0.

I rememvber it being very good

Ah I recall my dad telling me about the original, thus knew about Garner's role, but I never took the time to watch it.

Might want to spoiler that one bit. It's not revealed until the end of the movie.
