A good fun movie. It's kind of fun for me seeing people I know in the rendezvous scenes. Those scenes were filmed at the Western National on the Gros Ventres.

If has its share of screw-ups and unintintional goofs but I always enjoy Brian Kieth steal the movie. Heston gets his revenge in the last fight by filling Kieth's ear with the side blast from his flintlock.

I especially love hearing Charlton Heston flub his lines when he says something like "From South fork to Three pass. . ." or some such. still, when I was stuck in 29 palms without cable back in the '80s I wore out Revolution and the Mt. Men. Man the quotes are endless! "you gonna shoot me with your ramrod?"

You guys should have been at the Premier when Heston and the film company showed up at the 1980 La Junta Rendezous :bow: to show the movie to the group that helped make it. What a hoot for a few days as Heston some of the other people in the movie came into camp. Unfortunately Brian Kieth(sp?) could not make it. Talk about a scream as the Crazy Cat Soldiers lined up cannon on the ridge to give a horse apple? salute. :blah: Flemming, the bushway, went balistic for a while. Then the night of the big premier...the winds came up and took the big screen down :shocked2: and we ended up in town watching it at the local drive in theater. Oh! the mayor of the town is still looking for the cashier. Looong fun stories of that event...and rendezvous.

For any of you "old timers" :bull: on this site that were there...probably one of the best events ever. I still have photos I took of all this crazyness. Heston volunteered to be in or a target of the frying pan toss. No one could get close. Anyway...this should have been on an exteded DVD of the movie.

I have it on VHS and my kids have just about worn the tape out watching it. Their Aunt bought it in Shreveport for us a few years ago.

 

[Goldhunter]

Brian Keith was the best part of that movie. :rotf: classic one liners!

"well, what happened?"


"well, I was killed of course!" :rotf:

 

[Desert Rat]

My favorite is "ain't we larnd ya nuthin...mumble mumble"

 

[Heidi 1672]

Target Stores have it for $5.99 or $7.99

 

[Goldhunter]

My other favorite, "I ain't never been lost. Been fearsome confused for a month or two but never lost!" :rotf:

Or something like that.

Heston gets his revenge in the last fight by filling Kieth's ear with the side blast from his flintlock.

That's my favorite part! :grin: It' also one of the few movies i've seen were it actually shows them cleaning and reloading their guns

 

[spudnut]

Brian Keith is such a character in it,Every time a friend wonders in my camp at rondy I say "Sit yer ass down and have a cup'a coffee" And I don't even DO mountainman....Mark

 

[sequoia]

I still have photos I took of all this crazyness.

Any chance you could post these pics? I remember reading about the premiere in ?BuckskinReport? I think.

An old friend of mine was an extra and a wrangler when this was filmed. He took his own custom Hawken up to be in the show as did some other guys.
They were told real fast no real weapons. They were issued rubber molded guns an Hawks. When a real gun was used it was loaded by an "Expert" handed to the actor the set was cleared etc. as soon as it was fired the "Expert" took the gun back in hand. He did bring me back a nice deer skin rifle bag which was made for the movie, I still have it. :thumbsup:
