It's been one of my favorites for many years. I had my wife buy it for me and send it to me over here in Iraq. All in all it's a pretty entertaining flick.

I have the Centennial mini series on VHS. That is one of the best ones ever made.
It starts out with a French trader going in to the tribes of the west and making friends with them. He(Robert Conrad)finds a Scot (Richard Chamberlin) being held captive by the Shoshonee and gets him released and they become partners. It progresses on from there until modern times. It is a very good movie with a lot of well known stars. :front: :front:
I too just bought it. Was impressed at how much I still enjoyed it. wished it had more trapping in it, but regardless, enjoyable.
Did anyone notice the edge the fire burned into the snow bank? I love the details in this film, especially how Johnson wrestles with his flint & steel. Here's a BIT OF HOLLYWOOD HISTORY creeping into reeenacting, Remember when Johnson built his fire inside his tin, and used that as the basis for his fire under the tree? I remember as a young lad that process being told as gospel to both myself and the public by a member of my reenactment group. And I, not knowing any better, believed him.

I did see that...didn't understand it...although I'm not a flint & steel fire builder myself, it didn't seem like anything I've read about on that subject.
There were a few things like that which were a bit of a stretch...
Like half the times they showed him shooting the .50cal hawken, the recoil bowled him over backwards;
His horse died and he had to ride his mule but in the next scene he was ridng his horse again;
The miraculous recovery from a foot long lance having been buried in his bowels...would have died from infection alone;
But overall, it was interesting watching...scenery was beautiful...probably makes us all wish we could actually live back then and do that

Favorite line:
"Yup Pilgrim, seen it comin'. Seen it right off." :crackup:
as Johnson burns a hole in his blanket.

..on the .50 Hawken load recoil knocking him over...I didn't know you were the load advisor on that movie, roundball! :crackup: Seriously, I loved that movie, warts and all. One of my all-time favorites. Also the Mountain Men with Heston et al. And of course Last of the Mohicans (recent version), with its warts is still a great movie. Both Jeremiah Johnson and Mohicans were beautifully filmed. Those two movies probably recruited as many people into MLing as the Davy Crockett show.
Correct me if I am wrong on this..but him being knocked over with recoil..isn't that the shot where he forgot to remove the ramrod...maybe the added weight of the ramrod increased the recoil..I dunno..haven't shot my ramrod as yet..(knocking on wood).

Check out Monty Walsh and all of the Louise LaMour based flicks with Tom Sellic and Sam Elliot there all worth watching.
Eighteen years ago on July 18th I had my son,
"I named him Caleb because it is a name I've long admired"
Now I can't keep him out of the ammo,powder and ball!If it goes boom he will shoot it. He has turned out to be a fine young man and fair to middlin shot. I think we need to go back to letting the yung-uns watch Horse operas and burnen a brick of .22 a month.
