Fred Kohler Jr. is a tough, gun toting, muscled cowboy who likes to fight first in The Pecos Kid. Kohler’s father, Fred Kohler Sr., was also a famous western star, and his son brings the same gravitas and swagger that made his father so acclaimed. The Pecos Kid starts off rough with a young man’s entire family being murdered. Fortunately, he would grow up to be the savage Kohler, who’s more than capable of exacting revenge. And that’s exactly what he has in mind. The wealthy old baron responsible for the takeover of his family’s old home is protected by a large number of henchmen, and Kohler takes them all on in a barrage of well executed fist fights. The Pecos Kid is gritty western filmmaking like it’s supposed to be done.
