5.0 out of 5 stars A lost classic!, December 17, 2002

This review is from: My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I lived in Midwest City Oklahoma when this movie was bein' Made. I loved the movie from the start. It was true and down to earth. This movie inspired me to ride bulls myself and represent Rodeo all the time. I am sad to see that this movie is not only hard to find, but also not available in a DVD form like other classic movies. This makes no sense to me. I would like to see it done better justic than it has recieved.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a real rodeo movie., September 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As far as I'm concerned, this is the first time Hollywood ever produced anything that accurately depicted the sport of rodeo and didn't make a complete farce of it. Whoever wrote and produced this movie actually did their homework. If you like rodeo, you will like this movie.

Haven't we all wished that we could go back and make it all better? H.D., a not so great bull rider is hurting, physically and emotionally. He goes home to heal his busted ribs and learns that his sister has put his father (H.D.'s hero) in a home for old folks. H.D. can't abide it. He needs money to save the family homestead and all he knows is bull riding. The icing on the cake is that his beautiful highschool sweetheart is now a widow. The rodeo is coming to a town not too far from home. Can H.D. draw and ride the bull that's never been rode? Does he have one good 8 second ride left in him? Can he stop rodeoing from town to town? The top prize is $100,000! Enough to save the homestead and start a new life!
This is just a great movie for anyone that still dreams.
