| | | What was that film called....?
I am trying to remember the name of a film that came out in the late 80s or early 90s. I think it was a western type film set on a farm. What made this film unusual was that you only saw the actors legs. Does anyone remember this film and if so, what was it called?

Are you sure you weren't drinking something while watch a western movie?  |

It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry |

I was thinking more along the lines of
The Great Torso Robbery (hence you could only see legs)
or
Requiem for a Torso (ditto)
What about
Fistful of Legs?
The Legs Run Red?
Legs of the Desperados?
or who could forget (real movie) Fancy Pants with Bob Hope & Lucille Ball? |

Haha very funny all of you.
I'm surpirsed no one came up with 'the magnificent legs' or 'a few legs more' or even 'one legged it over the cuckoos nest'.
It was a civil war or post civil war film seen through the eyes of the farmer who was hiding in the grass, hence you just see the legs.

Stuart, I have to ask, given your country of origin: is it possible this film was UK only, or only had limited distribution in the U.S.?
And when you say "civil war," do you mean the American Civil War? I think that's officially called the War of Northern Aggression around here.  I hate to think you were talking about the Bishops Wars or something like that. |

Legerado?
Maybe the German movie Unforlegen?
3:10 to Legma?
The Assassination of Jesse James Legs by the Coward Robert Legless?
The Spanish film The Mask of Legorro?
Legstone?
Pretty sure it's one of those.
