spoilers for the 1994 throwback wild-west con-artist film MAVERICK: in the last scene, James Garner is revealed not to be a lawman butting heads with Mel Gibson's Bret Maverick, but in fact his father, working in cahoots with him all along. i took this to mean that Gibson was playing TV's Maverick and that they cleverly found a way to use the original star in a major role - but it's certainly plausible that Garner is meant to be the original Maverick and that this film takes place thirty years after the show, in a part of the old west that hasn't changed too dramatically. sadly, no work was found for Roger Moore, who played the original replacement character "Beau Maverick."
