White, reprising the role of the stoic gunslinger Johnny Black, embarks on a revenge mission against Outlaw Brett Clayton. The film seamlessly blends Western elements, humor, and martial arts, showcasing White’s versatility. While the humor in “Outlaw Johnny Black” is more restrained compared to “Black Dynamite,” White’s sincere filmmaking and tight choreography compensate for it.
