Galloping Thunder (1927 film)

Galloping Thunder is a 1927 American silent Western film directed by Scott Pembroke and starring Bob Custer, Jola Mendez, and Frank Ellis. The film was produced by Bud Barsky and distributed by Davis Distributing Division. It is considered to be a low-budget, B-movie Western typical of the era, featuring standard tropes of the genre, including cowboys, outlaws, and a range war. The plot revolves around a conflict over land or resources, with the hero, played by Bob Custer, working to bring justice and peace to the frontier. Specific plot details and character nuances are often obscured due to the film's relative obscurity and the lack of readily available comprehensive documentation. Many silent films from this period are either lost or exist only in incomplete versions. As such, detailed analysis and critical reviews of Galloping Thunder are scarce.
