4.0 out of 5 stars The White Buffalo, strange western of Night and Snow, December 14, 2003

By	Michael Ziegler (Philadelphia, Pa United States) - See all my reviews

This movie is based on Richard Sale's book concerning two characters enroute to their mutual destiny, Crazy Horse and Wild Bill Hickock. They are both called to hunt the sacred White Buffalo for a different purpose. Crazy Horse, to re-claim the right to be called by his name and to wrap the hyde around his dead child so that she can enter paradise. While Hickock is drawn by a sixth sense toward his encounter through nightmarish dreams in the belief that the confrontation will solve the sickness that has been in his brain. The movie is so full of western slang that you almost need a glossary of terms like the nadsat language in "A Clockwork Orange", to know what is going on. It is either a great movie or just an average one according to how you feel about a western that is mysterious, deep, intensely dark, full of atmospheric snow laden mountains, a god-like Buffalo that cannot be stopped and a stand out performance by Clint Walker as a very bad adversary. Incredibly the moody but excellent adaptive music was never released on this film until 2002!...and then only on a limited run for film buffs (no pun intended)You can almost classify this as a Western Horror movie and it has an excellent supporting cast, including Kim Novack,Slim Pickens, John Carradine and others who fill the stock characters to perfection. The poster used to advertise this film is a real collector's item and it is a film that should be preserved in the future with a quality DVD transfer. I normally don't like Westerns but this caught my attention. Bronson was the big box-office draw at the time and this movie was a critical failure in 1977 but it still endures and captures the imagination today due to it's wierd subject matter. Probably ahead of its time!.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorite Bronson movies, June 29, 2002

By	Kelli Bernard-Mallard (California) - See all my reviews

I have been searching all over the internet for a copy of this film, which I consider one of Charles Bronson's best. I much preferred him in movies like "The White Buffalo" and "Once Upon a Time in the West," as opposed to the "Death Wish" series. I find "The White Buffalo" to be one of those movies you don't forget. The climax scene where the buffalo crashes through a wall of snow and ice gave me nightmares when I first saw it! If you're a Charles Bronson/Old West genre fan, buy or rent this movie.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Example of Bronson's Finer Work, May 27, 1999

By A Customer

I like this film very much. Bronson was perfect for the role. The feel of the movie is very dark, dreary and cold. He plays off of this like a pro. Happy to say it didn't follow the typical Western plot so common in Hollywood. The friendship between Hickok and Crazy Horse is the high point of the film. It is too bad this movie never received more credit. I'd recommend this movie for anyone interested in Bronson and/or the Old West Legends.
