A Disappointing Bronson Outing

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2024

I looked forward to seeing this film because its cast included not just Charles Bronson, but Kim Novak, Clint Walker and the imposing Will Sampson. Unfortunately, the story's muddled and the actors mentioned, including Mr. Bronson, wasted in a poorly scripted film. Could have been better. Worth a look on a rainy/snowbound day...if you've got nothing better to do.

The Whit Buffalo Returns

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2010

Richard Sales' book made into film has returned for purchase again, finally. It stars Charels Bronson, Will Sampson and Jack Warden in Dino De Laurentis' bigger than life production. It's the story of 'Wild' Bill Hickok and Chief Crazy Horse supposedly based on a true event where the two men met to fight the same nightmare that haunted them both. At this time, Hickok was dying from syphillis and Crazy horse would soon fight his last battle. The two men become friends as they hunt the White Spike. Hickok because he is terrified of the nightmares he has of it and Crazy Horse to wrap his child killed by the Buffalo as it stampeded through his village. Crazy horse must wrap the child in the white buffalo hide so she can enter the Great Indian after-Life. Jack Warden is also along as Hickok's best friend, although his reasons are monetary only. The White Buffalo, built by Carlo Rambaldi, has been said to appear fake on the screen, but this two ton terror appears real enough to bring chills to you as it terrorizes the western mountains. Rambaldi wanted to achieve a 'dream-like' effect since both men were hunting a 'nightmare. He has more than succeeded. In the end both Hickok and Crazy Horse both bring it down and Hickok loses his friend Jack Warden because he gives the hide to Crazy Horse, a hide that would have brought $2000 back then. It is also when Crazy Horse finds out his 'friend' is the one and only Wild Bill Hickok, enemy of his people for shooting their Peacemaker years ago. Crazy Horse says, though they part as 'brothers, they will never meet that way again. Richard Sales did much research on the two 'brothers' and the story is sworn to be true. In the end, Hickok and Crazy Horse die the same year, each by violent methods. A plus in this film, although a small role, is the beautiful Kim Novak as "Poker Jenny", a love of Hickoks. This film is a DVD-R version, but even though worthy of being released as a regular DVD, the picture and sound are absolutely perfect. The snowy mountains of the old west could not have looked more beautiful. Buy this one before it's gone again. You won't regret it.

This is for the Blu ray of The white Buffalo.
The film itself is very entertaining and this Blu ray version is pretty good and certainly nice to finally have.
However, I want correct part of the Amazon listing: this is NOT a "multiformat" release. It is a Blu ray. Just that-- no extra digital code, no dvd, no 4k. I'm not sure why Amazon persists in listing Blu rays as "multiformat" when they're just Blu rays. It's annoying.

Great movie! Historical Fantasy!!

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2023

Even though this is not a true Crazy Horse story this is still a very good plot and storyline, and historical fantasy is awesome like Titanic with Jack&Rose or Last of the Mohicans, movies based off real events just with fictional characters and plots inserted in! Love that they include Native Hand Talk which is what American Sign Language was originally derived from, good representation of the people at the time and shares the view of both parties surrounding the story very well!!

The "West" as it really was.

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2023

The special effects were typical for the pre-CGI era. The acting wouldn't win any Oscars, but the combination of using many of the classic old-timey western actors with rarely used period language just made this movie a real pleasure to watch. Unfortunately, seeing Clint Walker as a "Heavy", instead of his usual hero status, was a little disconcerting. If you are a western fan you'll like this flick.

A decent yarn of the old West...

Very Dino de Laurentiis in the buffalo scenes. Bronson does as nice job, as does Will Sampson, packed with great character actors of the genre.

Always Loved This Movie

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2023

Verified Purchase

This movie is an acquired taste and not for most people, especially millennials today. If you grew up in the 1970's-1980's with HBO, then you probably watched this movie a hundred times like me. It's nostalgic and brings back a lot of fun memories.

Of course, I have to return it since half the movies that are delivered from Amazon arrived cracked and damaged.
