Jeremiah finds the frozen body of Hatchet Jack

Peter's Rock, this fellow.
I wonder how many of us are going to live our lives in such a way to be able to leave this world with such ease and style.
His farewell message says it all.


Hatchet Jack: I, Hatchet Jack, being of sound mind and broke legs, do hereby leaveth my bear rifle to whatever finds it, Lord hope it be a white man. It is a good rifle, and kilt the bear that kilt me. Anyway, I am dead. Yours truly, Hatchet Jack.


Hatchet Jack, I salute you.

shoot, finding a nice hakwings rifle would be so freaking nice! I think I would shoot me a bear just for the hell of it!

[hskrfnatic]

in my humble opinion...

top 5 movies of all time.

The acting wasn't all that great. Shitty at times, but the cinemagraphy and setting made it.

@UrLocalPoolman There is now a soundtrack out on cd. It doesn't have this entire song on it, but the soundtrack is coo.

It's kinda strange cause the camera keep's going back to the frozen man's face and I keep looking if he's real or accidently flinch's an eye, or move's just a hare in front of the camera?

I think he's a manequin

[kirkconway]

Id seen this movie yrs ago and i havee it in DVD but i was alway's wondering if the man hatchet jack was a real guy that didnt move in the scene,

or a manequin made up to look like a frozen person?

I love that fiddle playing when Jeremiah first discovers the body, would love to find a full song like that.

@hskrfnatic up there with the 1964 movie ZULU starring Micheal Caine.both great movies..both won many awards .

@hskrfnatic yeah i didnt notice anything wrong with the acting what did you notice?

[getsomelead]

i have a 50 cal hawkin flintlock, thats about as old school as you can get

[SandmanUSMC]

Always loved this movie...one of my favorites. Also very proud to now own a .54 cal Hawken rifle. As others can tell you, IT IS THE shit. Very powerful and deadly accurate.

@7berger7 The one time I climbed the summit of a mountain in the Rockies I was accompanied by a German. Santa Fe Baldy in the Sangre de Cristo range, back in october 1989.

[MrShamelessone]
