An excellent biker western video - and this James Cameron production is epic in deed!

YT: Director : James Cameron
Featuring : Bill Paxton, Andrew Todd & Rob
Story: An outlaw biker (Paxton), having recently robbed a train depot, arrives in the post-apocalyptic boom town of Martini Ranch. He parties with his crew (Reinhold, Cort, Pasdar, Reiser, Hendricksen, etc.) and enjoys the charms of a local girl (Louise Paxton). Meanwhile, close on his trail is a posse of female bounty Hunters (led by Bigelow). They capture Paxton, hog-tie him and brand him, while hanging one of his cohorts (Todd). Paxton escapes, rounds up his crew and confronts the cowgirls in the street. After being deserted by his crew, Paxton shoots it out with the women alone, but is hopelessly outnumbered.


Wikipedia: Director James Cameron created the cowboy-themed video of "Reach". The production included cameos from his soon-to-be-wife, fellow director Kathryn Bigelow, as well as Aliens and Terminator alumni Lance Henriksen, Paul Reiser and Jenette Goldstein, Judge Reinhold, Brian Thompson, and Adrian Pasdar (the video is roughly contemporaenous with the production of Bigelow's Near Dark, the cast of which included Henricksen, Goldstein, and Pasdar as well as Paxton). Also seen is Bud Cort, as the crazy person admiring Bill Paxton's motorcycle. There is also a memorable scene with the three band members Rosenthal, Paxton and keyboardist O'Hearn being dragged through the dust.

Bill Paxton is the most inexplicable actor in Hollywood.

How he managed to leverage his "game over man" character, which to be fair did suit him, into a largely successful career is something all aspiring actors should study. He's not notably handsome. He is entirely lacking in gravitas, and most significantly, his ability to act is at best serviceable.

He seems like a nice, genuine guy though--someone you'd like to hang out with and could be comfortable around in real life. That probably has something to do with it.
