Pull on your cowboy boots and strap on your six-shooter, we\\u2019re going western this time around with Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Joan Severance, and Rip Torn in the nonsensically titled Another Pair of Aces: Three of a Kind.\\xa0When Texas Ranger Rip Metcalf\\u2019s (played by Kristofferson, not Rip Torn) colleague and friend Captain Jack Parsons (who is\\xa0played by Rip Torn) is accused of murder, it\\u2019s up to Rip 1 to clear his name. Noted gambler and character from the first movie Billy Roy \\u201cAce\\u201d Rodriguez (Willie Nelson) joins him, along with the FBI agent Susan Davis (Joan Severance, who does not play a Rip, though she was in No Holds Barred which does have a character named Rip) as the token woman/love interest.
