  • Yes-"That is all you need to know for now"

  • "Indians do this to ya"?...."wernt Mormons"!

  • watch your top knot

  • Just a little FYI, the singer of this song is Tim Mcintyre, one of the most underrated actors of the 70's, most notable for playing Alan Freed in the movie American Hot Wax opposite Jay Leno. Great movies..

  • This movie came out the year I was born ('72). The movie had an extreme affect on my father. He bought a " Genuine Hawken" .50 caliber after he saw it. My dad hunted and provided wild game for his family but he always dreamed of living like a mountain man. He eventually (1996) moved to Thompson Falls, MT and lived in a tepee for 2 years. He had a wolf/dog as his companion. He told me he wanted to buried like the indians on a platform in the woods. He was born a century late. Greatest movie ever!

  • My favorite movie of all time. inspired my life.

  • "The Rockies is the marrow of the World!"

    -Del Gue

  • The movie was taken from abook published in 1965 by Vardis Fisher called Mountain Man.

    John Johnson was first buried in California but Robert redford payed to have his body moved to Cody Wyo where he now rests in a place called Old trail Town, with a great grave marker.

    This movie is /was true to the book. Thanks to the poster. "Old" Bill

  • If you know anything about the origin of this movie. It had nothing to

    do with Nam. It's about about a man who lost his wife anson to the indians

    and proceeded to kill over 3oo of them and eat their liver

  • @nmwlpi yea its partly based on liver eating johnson its beautiful to me how as little as 150 years ago there were lots of wilds to be free and hunt not so much anymore though if i was born then id probly be a mountain man

  • never thought of it as a allegory to Vietnam. still a good movie

  • The film is what ever somone wanted it to be, its the best way of livin in my opinion. But then again, everyone fights and bickers because they feel that there idea is tht right one. Its funny that there is so much prejudice in the world. I know why but eh.

  • Sorry it was not allegory for me. I always fail to see hidden meanings and such. I don't look for them I guess. I just take things on face value. To me it is a movie that just goes deep into me like no other.

  • Ain't this somethin'? I told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. "Make your life go here, son. Here's where the people is. Them mountains is for Indians and wild men." "Mother Gue", I says "the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world," and by God, I was right. Keep your nose in the wind and your eye along the skyline.

  • go2 my channel subscribe and like my videos

  • "How long have you carried your squaw Johnson"?

  • The man singing this song played huey in the movie Bruebaker.

  • "Skin this-en and I'll bring you another one" The saga of the old Trappers will never be lost as long as there are those of us that contuinue to live the trappers life style. I been trapping for 52 years come June and I'll never stop. The Lords been mighty good to me and one day I'll trap in Heaven where the Beaver weigh 200 pounds and Muskrats weigh 50 pounds each. Thank you Lord, See you soon.

  • I really liked that movie! Thx for posting this Mr Johnson! I'm interested of these views, cause found out my great great grandfather's brother died in in goldmine at South-Dakota Black Hills at yr 1931. And i'm from Finland. Pollack and Redford with their co did good job at Rocky Mountains!

  • if u want to learn to be a mountain man start going to the blackpowder meets and learn how to shoot ,through knves and tomahawks.

  • a man could actually live off of trapping these days if he didn't mind the weather that is. I sold a Montana Beaver blanket on Ebay that I trapped for $4,100 6X6 size, of course it was three years of part time trapping but I trapped other critters as well.

    love the movie

  • "Liver eatin" Johnson is a better name, killed over 40 sioux, and married into the tribe!! He was a notorious (and not in a good way) mountian man, who often was "on the warpath". There are several good books regarding the times of the true mountain men

  • @usmctanks1 i reckon it was actually 300 crow acording to the book "crow killer". he ate all of their livers too.

  • Great movie. Great song. Makes me want to run off to the wild west country of New Mexico and live along the Great Divide....

  • Ain't nothing stopping any of you from livin that of a mountain man, get out there, with your gun and some equipment and get to it.

  • Comment removed

  • @USMCMafioso his real name was john johnson for one and no one knows if he had any siblings. no one can say he's there great, great, great anything.

  • im am a 16 year old boy living in Canada, i know what your thinkin our generation is the skum of the earth but i stand to make a difference, i would give my life any day to live in the time the movie was set to be :) and i love this movie it is my absolute favorite!

  • I am nor Redford fan but this is my all time favorite movie. I always watch it around Thanksgiving.

  • @DanielSnedden lol me to im about to go trapping to:D

  • @DanielSnedden We watch it every year in Elk camp.

    "Elk don't know how many feet a horse has."

  • I am gunna go and live the life of a mountain man one day...I will do whatever it takes I reckon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • My favorite video of all time. Thanks.

  • Those gloves work pretty good. I have used them myself.

    

  • woman i'm your friend!!!!!!!!

  • why is it the whole movie he has no gloves then at the end he has some gloves but are kind of bad ones.

  • I read that Redford says that this is his favorite movie.

  • One of my favorites films of all time. I watch it every chance I can. Thanks so much for posting this song!!

  • "Johnson."  "Your christian name!" "...Jeremiah." Thats how you tell someone your name.

  • So much nostalgia from when i watched this with my dad so long ago. I do believe this made me proud to be and become a real man. It will be a tradition, this film. For my kin and thereafter. Thank you, Jeremiah Johnson.

  • Read the book "Liver Eating Johnson," one of the two the movie was made from. It's good, and you won't be eating the biscuits, lol. LIver eating Johnson used to make them with arsenice in them, and leave em fro the indians to eat. He also used to eat their livers, lol.

  • my best friend and i went to see this movie at the glendale,wv. drive in.though my buddy is gone to heaven i will alwas cherrish this memory.bless you danny,and redford

  • Who's singing?

  • Saw it right off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • he says you find a thousand ways to run out your time

  • My favorite movie! I love to quote the lines too. that's why I became a member of American Mountain Men.

  • I wish i followed after him, and the true free men. too late now.

  • @WolfeBear . . . No it's not too late.

  • I make damn good biscuits!

  • i was bored so i was going thru r recordings and i say jerimiah johnson and if ben watching it everyday for about the past 3 months and after it ends i watch o brother where art tho then i go to sleep

  • LOVEWHAT HEDID PLANNIN TO DO IT SOMEDAY

  • Very good movie great song to...Very underrated film

  • Worlds most under rated film.I watch it at every opportunity. Makes me feel good,like nothing else can. Outstanding!

  • he was looken for a hawkin gun 50 caliber or better settled for a 30 but damn it was a gunuine hawken you couldnt get no better

  • The film is allegory. It came out when Vietnam Vets were coming home and seeking solitude, some were traveling out west in their VW Vans. Johnson was some sort of Cav Trooper who left the army and went up into the mountains. Brilliant film. Seems corny in parts, but when I saw the scene in the Indian burial ground when I was a kid it scared the $%#^ out of me. "You've come a long way pilgrim" is one of the greatest lines in American cinema. Very underrated film.

  • @ripvanwinkle61 it it also based in part about the story of liver eating johnson who really did take out a bunch of indians single handed.forget the guys real name but you can find info on him.

  • just saw this movie today....really liked it.....ESPECIALLY when the grizzly is chasing him and they go through the house

  • what? people dislike this? that person must be messed up

    

  • This movie makes a person question their contrived lives in the mass herd, what a classic.

  • "We're it worth the trouble Pilgrim"?  "Ahh, what trouble".

  • @PatriotTK421 - great line; best scene in a movie of great scenes, being the quiet climax.

  • @PatriotTK421 - "You've come far, Pilgrim." "Feels like far..."

  • I love this movie. We were living in Green River Wyoming when they filmed it south of us in the Uintas, in Utah. Fabulous scenery. I know it was hard to film. Very cold and lots of snow. Easy for us to watch in our warm home and easy chair.

  • It was a great movie but they left out the part about him eating all the Indian's liver's he killed no fave bean's no Chianti now that's roughing it

  • As I get older, my memories of seeing this movie upon its release in '72, always help to make it clear no matter my reason to join the military, given the chance to travel, and no matter where I went, or the measure of beauty I saw, nothing could compare to the "beauty," of solitude, among God's cathedrals once a person has been subjected to the singular reason for leaving behind man's cruelty to man.

    Oh,to be born in 1855, instead of 1955, is but a thought I will always ponder.

    Peace.

    Rock

  • Looking back I realize that seeing this movie truly changed my outlook on life.

  • on of the best movies ever! next to benjamin button ! both in his kinds perfect ! this movies....dump heads have to see them a couple of times,than they may understand what is important in life...cheers

  • I Hate that preacher, Johnson should have turned him over to the Blackfoot

  • @TimShred - The Crowe got 'em

  • "Didn't dig deep enough, saw it right off..."

  • One of the best movie ever made ! There are other famous songs during the movie.

    Not a classic boring western as some idiots said but something different that you cannot forget forever ! To those who seek the real essence of the life.

  • TV at a hunting camp?

  • @esoxkid06 whats wrong with a tv at a hunting camp? we have one, it doesn't have cable, just a vhs player.

  • An injun says you search in vain

    For what you cannot find

    He says you've found a thousand ways

    Of runnin' down your time

    An injun didn't scream it

    He said it in a song

    And he's never been known to be wrong

    He's never been known to be wrong

    Awesome....

  • Sunshine or thunder,

    A man will always wonder

    Where the fair wind blows.

    That's my favorite part, I think.

  • Sat through it 3 times at the movies! Watched it with a boyhood friend twice at the theatre one Fri. night long ago! Great show for a couple of wild 11 yr olds.

  • AND YALL JUST KNEW THAT FIRE WAS GONNA GET DOUSED BY TH PINE TREE IN THE BEGINNING

  • I DO AGREE IT'S IN MY TOP 2 OF FAVORITES ... ITS A SAD BUT GOOD ENDING ..... THIS WORLD IS BECOMING SO NAUSEATING THAT I WOULDN'T MIND JOINING MR JOHNSON ..... SOME FOLK SAY------- HE'S STILL UP THERE TODAY.....

  • He finally made peace with the crow at the end. That is why the chicken hawk never attacks the crow. Never been wrong.

  • Here are the lyrics for the begining

    Jeremiah Johnson made his way into the mountains. Bettin’ on forgettin’ all the troubles that he knew. The trail was wide and narrow the eagle or the sparrow. Shows the path he was to follow as it flew. A mountain mans a lonely man that leaves a lot behind. You aught have been different that you often times will find. The story doesn’t always go the way you had in mind. Jeremiah story was that kind jeremiahs story was that kind

  • One of my favourite movies.

  • Thank you for posting! It used to be a night before opening day of deer season tradition, and I still love this movie to this day. So underrated.

  • Thank you so much for this! I had an mp3 copy of this from a few years back, and then my computer died and I lost it. This puts all of those great Time McIntire (RIP my brother) songs together from throughout that great movie. My mother and aunt were classmates of Syndey Pollack, and so I was introduced to this great film quite early in my life, and always felt quite precociously proud in introducing it to my alternative/neo-hippie/beatnik friends in college. Great stuff!

  • jeremiah johnson defined badass

  • i just love the part that says some say he's dead some say he never will be

  • @Mermaid1517 When my wife is whining at me about almost anything I did or didn't do I like to look at her and say, "Mighty Hunter, yes?" and then I move her head up and down and say "Fine figer of a man, yes?" and she always smiles and forgives me for whatever.... If she doesn't... I remind her that "a woman's breasts are the hardes stone the all mighty ever put on this earth and I can find no sign on them." If that doesn't do it, I sleep on the couch.

  • i used to watch this movie when i was a little kid with my grandpa. it is amazing!!

  • Thank you very much for posting this. This is my dads favorite movie and I can tell you that I have seen this movie close to 50 times. Not to mention my dad knows line for line. I look forward to watching it with him next weekend at the hunting camp.

  • @Fearl3ss465 this movie should have had a sequel....i remember me and my dad used to watch this

  • @Fearl3ss465 Makes you feel good being able to spend that kind of time with your dad. Good times.

  • It's my favorite movie and my dads and we go hunting too

  • @Fearl3ss465 i have watched it nearly as many times myself. I have been to johnson's gravesite at Old Trail Town outside of Cody,Wyoming twice. I can never get enough of Jeremiah.

  • @Fearl3ss465 sounds like me and my dad

  • thank you very much for uploading this. This is exactly what I was looking for. I love this movie and now will have to find the soundtrack.

  • My life is utter S**T right now. Wish I could do what Jeremiah did in this movie... go up to the mountains and just leave society, forever. I LOVE this movie and LOVE this song.

  • @Offthedeepend67 I did just that a couple of years back, when my life was just hell.

    But since i had work and kids i could only do it in the weekends, but it still help me alot. :)

  • Thank you! This brings me back, way back, to what seems like a short time ago. I grew up in the mountains, trapped, hunted, fished, very much like the movie. This was a great movie, and this is a great song. Thanks again for putting it out there for all the see, and hear.

  • @dragoneca2 Running a trap line is an education in itself. As said in the movie. The mountains have there own ways.

  • @widgeonslayer No truer words were ever spoken on a Youtube post. May the Creator bless you and guide you through the mountains always. BTW, love your Youtube handle!
