The third, and let's hope, final installment, of the outrageously preposterous "A Man Called Horse" series, this time around Harris is too old and sick to actually ride a horse in the title sequence, so the director opts to give the new reign to Michael Beck of "The Warriors" fame, who is his son in the film. Michael Beck's "acting" consists of looking tough all the time.
This movie has the enemy now being a calvary troop of US marauders, who are coming from the Civil War.
This is truly an empty film, devoid of any new inspirations or themes.
I think it was not a particularly good ending to the series of unbelievable films. They should have really done a better job of the story, perhaps making the title character a reincarnated Indian warrior or something. Or going back to England in a ship that is haunted with deadly rats. Or perhaps concentrating on the Native Americans themselves, and not on some European bloke.
Anything but what we got here in this simpleminded movie.
I'm surprised that they have no interest whatsoever in remaking the movie. Apparently it would be out of fashion in today's climate, or "A Man Called Horse" would be drastically changed to "A Woman Called Mare", and she would slaughter all the men in the movie.
