Reception
Critic Dorothy Masters of the New York Daily News wrote: "I hope Allan Lane is well paid for his work in 'Frisco Tornado.' He deserves every cent of it, plus a few dollars extra, in his strenuous tenure as marshall ... Getting shot at is routine, naturally, for anybody who sets out to do a one-man cleanup job on a passel of varmints, but Rocky is uncommonly reckless of life and limb. The less agile and lazier cowboy stars don't engage so realistically—if at all—in the kind of stuff that burns up Lane's energy."[4]
