To all those who say it's trick photography, or filming....IS ISN'T. Charlie Lovick taught Tom Burlinson how to ride (and what fantastic rider he turned out to be!!!) and Tom did that jump several times to get the right shots for the movie. I have ridden up in that area of the High Country many times, and I've been riding bush horses since I was 5 years. I've been to the actual site where it was filmed, and bugger me, I wouldn't have the balls to tackle it at a gallop!!
OMG, the first time I saw this movie and he went over the side like that with the bullwhip crackin holy shit. the best fuckin scene in the whole movie.
God I love this part...and yeah, it was all real. I was there! Best time of my life being around Mansfield, Merrijig and Mount Buller...I have a window pane from the homestead...wrong, but true...(All the window panes were built without glass by the set designer.) Who could not remember standing atop Mount Buller and looking down on the clouds and the blue mountain ranges stretching to infinity...?
Wonderful song, and good guitar work. My grandmother loved this movie, and everytime we watch it, it reminds me of her. She always used to smile at the mob running through the water and the snow, going over the ledge and the chase.
PS,..None of the horses died in this film.The rumor is about the sequel. Return to Snowy River.The Lovicks,who supplied all the horses for the movie,have confirmed on their website that none of the"Denny" horses(the main Hero horse) were killed in the making.So,Travisk100's stating that he has inside info must've lied to him.I dont believe the Lovicks would lie on their own site.
@ChimeraAZ Sam one of the stunt doubles is still alive at 38!!! and Charlie's grandson is learning to ride on him!!! you should check out the lovicks on facebook.... I spend a little bit of time with them, my b/f a lot more riding through the highcountry!
The camera was NOT tilted to make the "Terrible Descent",as it is known. This si what the MFSR Wiki said about it:;
"Tom Burlinson has confirmed that it was definitely he who rode the horse over the side of the mountain for the 'terrible descent' during the dangerous ride — commenting that he had been asked about this numerous times, and that he became known as "The Man from Snowy River" because of his ride."
Hands down, the best part of the whole movie! I LOVE this movie! I remember watching it with my mom when I was little and now my kiddos and I watch it together.
@goatstaog Lmao, you have no idea what you're on about, the ride down the mountain was NOT special effects, get your facts straight before you try trolling video's!!!!!!
@goatstaog I am personal friends with the lovicks... they did all the horsemanship for the film... there were no special effects... it is what it is... you just missed the ride with tom, but you can actually do the ride with him and the lovicks and see all the places from the film including riding up to craigs hut... you should check them out on Facebook lovicks high country adventures
originally the horse was not supposed to jump off, he was meant to stop. the horse jumped off and ran for awhile and eventually fell and died. so the second movie when he falls is actual footage from the first. so he never actually made it down. they just fixed it and made it look as if he did, and use the real footage of him falling in the second. kinda interesting. still an awesome scene though.
@ImaBirdfan2 i went on a horse chase with a guy who was a rider in the movie and we were talking about if a rider could actually do that then he told us about it.
@Travisk100 Just FYI so other people don't get distressed over your info that "Denny" died after falling during "The Decent" filiming. Just Google "Tom Burlinson" in images. You will find a photo of him and Sigrid Thorton both. Tom is sitting on Denny(he was alive and well)!!! This photo is from 2009 when both actors reunited with the Lovicks and other "crack riders" from the film. More info on Charlie Lovick too "Lovicks High Country Adventures. Just Google "Charlie Lovick" too!
@ImaBirdfan2 they had about three horses that played that part in the movie so it could be any one of them. i'm talking about the scene. And i would say that my source is a little more reliable then your google photo. But thanks for trying.
Remember being wowed as a 6 year old when he goes down the mountain. I've heard it was the actor who went down the hill, was there any trick photography to it or was it straight down.
@GeSpintoje Ummm, yeah, that would be the colt from Old Regret and the sole reason they were chasing the mob in the first place :P Perhaps you should watch the movie ... or read the poem?
I can't figure it. If the wild horse mob were such a nuisance why didn't the stockmen simply shoot them; rather than trying to ride them down for breeding and bragging rights?
@pinz2022 they were trying to get "the colt that got away, he was worth a thousand pounds" (the black one in the final scene) you should read the peom that this was based on if you can't figure it out why they are herding them. You can probably find the peom online - Banjo Patterson's "The Man From Snowy River"
For when the camera is in the saddle, and moving, the camera is actually being held by horse and rider. The producers wanted to make the scene as realistic as possible, What an amazing movie. Both the first and the second
This is my favourite movie of all time!!!! Love the music, it was so perfectly matched and gives you chills. I get choked up at this scene, and also the closing scene where Jim brings the mob in by himself ... legend!!!
@nigiddy bullshit.. i remember seeing the hbo behind the scenes on this when i was 11, it was 84', nope they said it was real...thats what makes it all the more badass...nope i remember that shit...
After I watched this movie(particularly this scene) my cousins and I went out onto our ranch and tried to wrangle some lost horses up in the mountains... it didn't work as well as Jim's, and our horses were exhausted but it sure as hell was a lot of fun! Best horseman ship in a movie ever.
LMAO that is funny. If I get the gist of the comments someone is claiming that an american website says Phar Lap is american? Considering I looked up a bunch of international websites and found ONLY one who mentioned him...and only mentioned him for what he achieved in Australia not for any races he ran in the US. Never fails to amaze me
As often as I watch this scene, it still gives me chills, I'm always afraid the crack when his hoof hits the ground means the horse has broken his leg...silly of me, but I do. This whole movie is almost too good for words!

@rereterri1809 i always thought it was "bid them ALL good day" which includes jim/denny & all brumbies. but listening to this piece...it does kind of sound more like mob doesnt it? i must get the dvd's of these movies one day & see the captioning (if they have it) i recorded them off vhs years ago...no captioning.
@mystiquesword This is an excerpt from the original poem: "And the old man muttered fiercely, "We may bid the mob good day, No man can hold them down the other side". "
at this 2:25 until the competion of his down the mountain was one of my favorite parts in the movie, shows determination and skills of a mountain man, proving he is more of a man then they though he was and to complete what he set out to do.
its soo exiting seein him ride den like that . i love it its my fav part of the movie.i want a horse like den and i want to ride down that hill like that. i love steep hills and galloping i chase my friends cows on my horse bare back some times it funn
@robots0need0love0too as another said, 5 died in the new flicka...however...plenty more died in ben hur than either snowy river or flicka put together. that chariot race? deathtrap for most horses.
This part of the movie has always given me chills!! It's good to know that I'm not the only one! LOL! I also love the part where he brings all of the horses back. Through alot of the movie Tom Burlison looks a little boyish but in these scenes, paired up with that horse, OMG!! Sexxxyyyy!! The things I could do to that cowboy!! : b
the part where he goes down the hill has got to be my favorite part of the whole movie, that and when he comes back to the fam with all the brumbies. i love this whole movie, and the 2nd one too :)
Well I am thinking a Thoroughbred's legs would have never made this run they are way to brittle. Even as a cross- bred, Mustangs legs are round not flat and much sturdier, not sure about a Brumby but I bet their legs are much like a Mustangs.
Um.. no, denny is a whaler, the reason why i know and am commenting on it is because I had to do a full scale report on him for uni. A 4000 word essay for modern history... If I had put brumby in it I would of been marked down...
I play 2:25 again and again and again. If an animal trusts you enough to jump off a cliff, you know you have a bond with them deeper than you even get from a human.
i have never seen the movie but if by denny, u mean the buckskin. from the looks of things, he looks like a mustang or a quarter horse. possibly a thoroughbred/quarter horse.
Denny would resemble a mustang. There is a simple reason for it. The Brumby is the Australian version of the Mustang. Both are feral horses introduced by settlers.
The character, yes, but the pony was probably not. Chances are there is indeed brumby blood in that horse. That, in my opinion, just makes him better. I never did like thoroughbreds much.
@Donovonizmyhorse -- Tom Burlinson said in an interview that it was he, Tom, riding that horse down the mountain. Others did stuntwork for him at times, but Tom himself rode down that mountain.
I don't remember names so well sometimes. But if Denny is the stock pony ridden down the hill, then yeah. Beautiful animal and he moves well too. I don't think he's my favorite equine movie character though, but thats a really hard choice to make.
I've come to the conclusion that most comments on You Tube are by people who don't take the time to think about what they are responding to. They just type whatever pops into their brain.
I saw this movie when it first came out in the theatres. I was so caught up in the story and action I came out of the theatre with my shirt soaked from sweat. It still has a profound effect on me everytime I watch it. Never get enough of this movie. Some of the payoff lines are simply classic.
First part of my comment above was after reading through the section of comments on whether Jim actually rode down a steep hill. Not only do the trees support a steep hill - look at how he is sitting in the saddle.
I absolutely LOVE this movie and think it is insanely underrated (at least here in North America, in my experience anyway). It deserves an Oscar, hands down. Not only just the film, but the music! oh man! goosebumps
I have always loved this incredible part of the movie! Only, to bad that Curly had to take a dip in the middle of a ride! What gave me such chills was when Jim rode his horse down that awesome steep cliff and I'm like...Whoa! :)
This is the BEST scene in horse-movie history...and that Mountain Horse he's riding is my all time favorite horse in the equine world. Damn that man and that horse together are the epitome of equine savvy.
hell of a ride is right. Mark has never seen this movie!!!

Um.. no, denny is a whaler, the reason why i know and am commenting on it is because I had to do a full scale report on him for uni. A 4000 word essay for modern history... If I had put brumby in it I would of been marked down...

I play 2:25 again and again and again. If an animal trusts you enough to jump off a cliff, you know you have a bond with them deeper than you even get from a human.

i have never seen the movie but if by denny, u mean the buckskin. from the looks of things, he looks like a mustang or a quarter horse. possibly a thoroughbred/quarter horse.

Denny would resemble a mustang. There is a simple reason for it. The Brumby is the Australian version of the Mustang. Both are feral horses introduced by settlers.

nope, 1 quarter Timor pony 3 quarter tthoroughbred .
swiftnshift 2 years ago
The character, yes, but the pony was probably not. Chances are there is indeed brumby blood in that horse. That, in my opinion, just makes him better. I never did like thoroughbreds much.
Icedrake1979 2 years ago
Actually that Denny the horse playing Denny should I say, is a purebred Waler

bullshit! ROFL...have another look...he is an brumby cross...a true mountain mans horse....the purcells and I used to ride together at Tom Groggin

@Donovonizmyhorse -- Tom Burlinson said in an interview that it was he, Tom, riding that horse down the mountain. Others did stuntwork for him at times, but Tom himself rode down that mountain.

I don't remember names so well sometimes. But if Denny is the stock pony ridden down the hill, then yeah. Beautiful animal and he moves well too. I don't think he's my favorite equine movie character though, but thats a really hard choice to make.

There was actually a stuntrider that rode down that hill. So all you guy´s that say elsewise have no clue.. Great movie
MrMrzeke 2 years ago
No, I think you'll find that you have no clue about the who rode down that hill. Tom Burlinson did *all* of his horse-riding stunts in the movie.
Anyway. That scene. Simply amazing.

I've come to the conclusion that most comments on You Tube are by people who don't take the time to think about what they are responding to. They just type whatever pops into their brain.
I saw this movie when it first came out in the theatres. I was so caught up in the story and action I came out of the theatre with my shirt soaked from sweat. It still has a profound effect on me everytime I watch it. Never get enough of this movie. Some of the payoff lines are simply classic.

First part of my comment above was after reading through the section of comments on whether Jim actually rode down a steep hill. Not only do the trees support a steep hill - look at how he is sitting in the saddle.

I absolutely LOVE this movie and think it is insanely underrated (at least here in North America, in my experience anyway). It deserves an Oscar, hands down. Not only just the film, but the music! oh man! goosebumps
JeffandIoanFan 2 years ago
An Oscar? Just an Oscar? Are you kidding? It desevers far more than that. IMHO, this was Disney's best effort.

I have always loved this incredible part of the movie! Only, to bad that Curly had to take a dip in the middle of a ride! What gave me such chills was when Jim rode his horse down that awesome steep cliff and I'm like...Whoa! :)

i know i just saw the sequel. it made me cry; does Jim realize that the guy shot his horse or does he think he stumbled and died?

This is the BEST scene in horse-movie history...and that Mountain Horse he's riding is my all time favorite horse in the equine world. Damn that man and that horse together are the epitome of equine savvy.
