S3 E13 Money Train

In this episode of Watcher Texas Ranger, Walker and Trivett are pulled from their usual crime-fighting routine when they're assigned to serve as technical advisors on a low-budget Western movie shoot. What starts as a reluctant gig quickly turns chaotic when the production is targeted by a crew of inept American ninjas-turned-stuntmen who are planning a daring heist to steal $28 million in new currency being transported by train. As the bad guys (led by the mysterious Lasseter, along with Cody, Hairline, and Jet We) use their movie set access to scout and execute the robbery, Walker and Trivette get tangled up in both Hollywood hijinks and high-stakes action. Highlights include a runaway stagecoach chase, shadowy tool-and-die shop break-ins, nitrous oxide-fueled train heists, plenty of family drama involving Cody and his actress sister Ellie, and the usual Walker brand of slow-motion justice. The episode features one of the show's most genuinely dangerous-looking stunts, some truly baffling bad guy decisions, and ends with the predictable freeze-frame moral at CD's Bar & Grill. A middling entry carried mostly by the horse chaos and Chuck Norris doing what he does best.
