BLACK FOX IS THREE DVD'S MADE FOR TV MOVIE WESTERNS, STARRING THE LATE CHRISTOPER REEVE, "THE PILOT" "THE PRICE OF PEACE" AND "GOOD MEN AND BAD" IF YOU LIKE A GOOD WESTERN DURING THE INDIAN WARS IN TEXAS THE FIRST TWO ARE UP YOUR ALLY, VERY OFTENIC AND THE SEENERY IS BREATH TAKING, THE THIRD IS OUTLAW AND IS GOOD AS WELL, CAN'T BEAT THE PRICE OF THE THREE BOX SET.

The Black Fox series is a good, wholesome, family series of the old west. It is coupled with a great lesson in racial tolerance, during a time, (the civil war era), when there was very little tolerance.


All in all a good series, that I purchased, and can watch again and again.

Even though these 3 films are enjoyable & very well done & acted, I wasn't going to write a review until I saw the 3rd: "Good Men & Bad." The first 2 films I would give 4 star ratings to, but the 3rd I give 5 stars to. 4 stars overall. This short review is really a commentary on the 3rd film.

Sometimes I hate what fiction writers write. They handle their characters in god-like fashion, or better yet as puppeteers, turning them this way & that as their fancies dictate. In this 3rd film, Christopher Reeve's character was taken through largely unbelievable transitions: After the tragic murder of his wife he transitioned into a hopeless drunk, then after a voluntary baptism in a river he was born-again miraculously into avenger of his wife's death - sorta like a drunken Clark Kent changing into mighty YouKnowWho (now where did I get that from?). Nevetheless, even though these transitions stretched imagination (man, I did hate the writer for killling off Rees' wife) I highly recommend this film along with the first 2.

I really miss Christopher Reeve. Surely his most difficult role was his last after the tragedy he suffered - & under almost constant public scrutiny.

Great Films, I enjoyed all three movies.
I have watched all three twice and will watch
again.
Excellent cast of stars!!!
It was inspiring to see a black man with a
lead role in a film predominately Native American.
I love the relationship that developed between the
characters of Tony Todd and Raoul Trujillo.

These are very watchable movies, not exactly true to the book but enjoyable nonetheless.

Story lines are a bit far fetched, but you will be able to sit down and watch these movies without having to strain your brain.
