Cyclone Fury (1951)
Charles Starrett and Smiley Burnette come through high...wide...and then some for the U.S. Army
A late entry in Columbia's seemingly endless Durango Kid Western series, Cyclone Fury was augmented with a hefty dose of stock footage from an earlier Durango effort, Galloping Thunder (1946), footage that included sidekick Smiley Burnette warbling "Hear the Wind (Singing a Cowboy Song)" accompanied by Merle Travis and his Bronco Busters.

By 1951 Columbia was economizing on its Durango Kid westerns. Every all-new adventure alternated with a "cheater" that filmed new material for only half the picture. The rest of the action consisted of scenes from older Durango Kid westerns.
