The Best Muzzleloading Movies

[Dusty_Traveler]

I loved watching Daniel Boone. What happened to good TV shows ?

I agree!

They got tossed for edgy shows that get mass ratings from the mob.

I'm not a fan of modern "entertainment". At all. Most of it is hot garbage.

how about the BIG SKY?

I loved the Patriot movie so well.......
I tried to duplicate the rescue scene with amateur acting and cheap cameras....LOL

Mark, you are a natural born killer.

I agree and I really think the entertainment of these time's is terrible, not much talent. Nothing like the actors of the day back then.

When "The Town That Dreaded Sundown" was being filmed in the mid 70's, Charles Pierce rented my dads farmhouse to do the scene where Dawn and her husband get shot. She used his bedroom as her powder room, so dad always tells folks Mary Ann was in his bedroom one time. He said she was a sweet lady.

I always thought she was a pretty lady.

Talents been replaced with cgi
Watched Maltese Falcon the other day. All sound stage with horrible backgrounds, but you didn’t care. The Fat Man, Sam,Cairo ‘Peaches’ were all real lines,timing, body action made you the forth wall.

If memory serves me right, there was a Daniel Boone TV episode where he too shoots an Indian with his ram rod.

As I recall Henry shot an Indian with his ramrod in the mountain men as well

Patriot would be my favorite, followed by Jeremiah Johnson

Yes, I remember that. Could a Ramrod really be shot out like that and be lethal ? Just wondering, seems like it could.

Most definitely lethal.

Most definitely lethal.

I figured as much.

I have seen someone shoot a ramrod through their hand so yeah

Ouch ! I guess many objects would do the job as a bullet. I think someone once told me a Brown Bess could be loaded with stones and fired if necessary. Talk about ingenuity.

Many good movies listed so far but you might enjoy "April Morning" with Tommy Lee Jones. Like "Patriot" the main character does not want to get involved with the revolution but gets pulled into it. As almost always TLJ is superb.

Lots of inspiring movies are mentioned that I’ve enjoyed, but the one that is my most memorable was the early episodes of a TV series from the late 70’s, James A. Michener’s “Centennial”. It was well done, and coincided with the opening of the first dedicated muzzleloader season in my state. Acquired a TC Hawken(kit) and shot my first whitetail with a muzzleloader that season.

Here is my favorite BP movie.....Tecumseh. It was part of the TNT series of native Indian leaders. Also, because of me and a friend being extras in the movie. One quick scene of my flintlock Charleville musket firing a blank round. It was filmed near Winston-Salem, N.C.

Flint Mitchell (Clark Gable) does the scene where he shoots-the-Indian-with-the-ramrod.

I could never recall where I saw that scene; you just re-educated me! Always noted it as a kid!

The series Frontiersmen was not too bad
