I despise Van Der Beek, but I'm a big fan of Randy Travis too (well, at least his music, only movie I've seen him in is Black Dog and The Rainmaker.) So, as long as the rest of those Rachael movies that have yet to be released come out pretty soon, I'll still be a happy camper
Look for Rachael in the last half of the film.I heard that the film was edited so that the running time would not be longer than two hours. From what I have seen and what TR has told me, Steve Minor, like the director of Antitrust, sacraficed Rachael in the editing process. In my opinion, Texas Rangers, like Antitrust isn't up to its potencial because Rachael's sceens are on the editing room floor; hopefully the DVD will have those scenes. Two things Texas Rangers has going for it, plenty of action and music appropriate to the era.

I'm not sure of what was cut and what wasn't but I do know of one scene that is evidently cut; I'm not sure of how much else may be missing.Boy, this movie has taken an age to rise up. I even have a prop from the movie and it feels like I have had it for years---HEY! I have had it for years! Hehe.-TR

Heard this morning (nov 27th) in Canoe.ca that Texas Rangers would not be released till Feburary...Alliance Atlantis has decided so... When it will be released, mostly Alberta where it was shot will have the most screenings...Montreal and Toronto ??? We'll see...Hope also a French version made in Quebec...RealLiveClaudeP.S. Grrrrrrr !!!!! Tiger anger...
Guess I better hop on a plane 'cuz I know for a fact they sure as hell won't be playin' it on Kauai (this island gets about half if even that of the movies that come out elsewhere...yeah, it sucks).
