Far and Away - Land Rush Scene

[@traumamama2007]

Oh the memories! I was a paramedic on the lifeflight helicopter that covered this. We were in the air, overhead, and what a sight it was for this old ranch girl. The land rush actual scene was very short. They shot it at various angles and spliced them together to make it look much longer than it was. And there were no serious injuries, just a few scrapes and some cactus thorns.

[@JLee-g6w]

That must have been such an experience seeing this incredible sequence come together

[@fdlman93092]

The coolest thing about 2:19 is that its not CGI that is someone flying across a field on a horse and it looks so amazing.

[@AlanAvis]

Epic filmmaking. All of this is really there. We simply don't see anything like this in movies today, and if we do, it's a soulless digital rendering.

[@JLee-g6w]

Can’t stand all the CGI we see in movies and all the woke propaganda that’s in half of the new movies nowadays

[@edwinombac]

Love when they come over the range at 2:42 followed by the amazing shot with the sky, beautiful, Ron Howard rocks, and John Williams score is a masterpiece.

[@LuckySmurf]

That guy on the bike though.

[@Vanillawind1138]

This scene is done in the great tradition of the old epics. Absolutely exhilarating

[@BrianMcAleer]

Scenes like this are what great movie making is all about.

[@courtneytaylor7369]

Same

[@jjny83]

Such a good movie! I loved it! Worth watching!

[@Footloose4ever]

Ahh I love the music so much! One of my favorite movies!

[@Christinasvenska]

The music is called "Oklahoma Land Rush", and is from the original score soundtrack by John Williams.

[@MattSid86]

I saw those film as a kid only for see the guy with bike scene. I can't still not understand why was so hilarius, but anyway he got a place in my heart.

[@Snowman20]

1:59 That guy with bike ALWAYS cracked me up as a kid, we used to watch, laugh, rewind, laugh, repeated about 10 times as kids. Still cracks me up to this day XD

[@perfesser944]

If you think of it, it's especially poignant. The city dweller (where a bike gives you a nice edge of speed) is suddenly faced with the prairies, where it is just useless baggage. Yet he pedals on, powered by what? Hope of a better life, perhaps. Hope was the fuel of all these people, the last thing to go. Bless the old guys who had the gumption to uproot themselves from the old country and to come here. Without them, there is no you.

[@61Slughi]

I'm surprised that he managed to get that far down the prairie on that thing at that speed.

[@ThatGuySarabia]

I remember when this scene came up in class back in middle school, the whole class was laughing

[@windsongshf]

It's June 2021 and this is happening right now in real estate! IT'S CRAZY!

[@amandaharding235]

For everybody asking why there were wagons running in the rush, some men brought their families along with them so they could get set up faster and have less of a chance of somebody stealing their claim months later. The rush was on 22 Apr 1889, but some claims weren't made until May depending on how far you where from the Guthrie or Kingfisher land offices. It was brutal what could happen, especially if a sooner that got found out decided they wanted to play dirty and steal a better claim. There were even some men that ran while only a few months or years underage and got ratted out for their claim. If you had a whole family set up and already starting to build a sodhouse, then somebody couldn't say that "Oh, well you left". Others brought their families along, but they stayed behind at the line and then they went and found the claim. Some families stayed at with relatives in Kansas or Arkansas until the claim had been filed and a homestead had been set up, and then either they would go find it or the father would go get them.

[@amandaharding235]

Also, fun fact: The pictures that they took a few seconds in, are almost spot on to the real photographs that were taken at the gunshot. And the director was Ron Howard (aka, Richie from Happy Days and Opie from the Andy Griffith Show) is from Duncan, Oklahoma

[@McOldYoung]

A Great Book that details the rush is Boom Town by Sam Anderson. It goes into detail about the rush for lots in the city oklahoma city.

[@seanjones2456]

This is the oldest footage of Black Friday. More than 25 died this day at Walmart in 1889.

[@rose84343]

My favorite scene from the movie.

[@Leo-em4pf]

Best part of the film.

[@carlosephparada778]

My history teacher played this vid and stoped after the guy punched his houres

[@rovhalt6650]

well sometimes you just gotta punch a horse in the mouth

[@courtneytaylor7369]

[@guntherthequizmaster9515]

This is crazy and risky! Somebody's going to get hurt!

[@yoshesreason]

the kids on the bike was HILARUOUS

[@bobcaddock3264]

Just wondering. Maybe someone can explain. Why use a wagon if the object is to get to the best land first.

[@LuckySmurf]

But why bring the family? If all you're doing is claiming the land, then claim it first, and THEN bring the family.

[@frankietjspecial]

Exactly, just do what Tom did. Get a fast horse and claim your land first! Why include a heavy wagon with no suspension in a race?

[@amandaharding235]

I know this is a late reply, but some men brought their families along with them so they could get set up faster and have less of a chance of somebody stealing their claim months later. The rush was on 29 Apr 1889, but some claims weren't made until May depending on how far you where from the Guthrie or Kingfisher land offices.

[@robertmeyer5438]

They were the ones who brought their families, pretty dumb, reason being they wanted to get setup fast. They should have claimed the land that they could get their flags planted then went to get their families.

[@lov3ston3d45]

We watched this in history class and everyone laughed when he punched the horse even the teacher but it was fake and I love horses lol

[@malachi1767]

We watched it in history today, we all laughed when the guy on the unicycle fell off while he was holding on to the carriage. @ around 2:00

[@lov3ston3d45]

Yeah we all laughed and went "look at the guy on the bike" the funny thing was the teacher laughed at all the parts not just the horse one lol

[@pjlopbra511]

sparklytimetraveler Yes, it's John Williams' Far and Away soundtrack. It's called "The Land Race". And it's amazing, one of its bests!

[@saraejohnson7321]

Hey I remember this video from 5th grade

[@acer3573]

Why bring a wagon to a race? Race a horse, claim the land and bring a wagon later.

[@TheCowboyRaider]

WOW,i`d love to do this!!!

Thumb up if you came here because of EverQuest Next: Landmark!

[@clementine3609]

Is no one gonna talk about the guy who PUNCHED the horse??

[@lotepamera9271]

It's high noon. (land rush begins) (McCree shoots all 10,000+ of them)

[@rosopeligroso]

Love the shot of the natives sitting there thinking "ain't that 'boutta bitch!"

[@KWCline91]

I wonder if that horse could win the triple crown!

[@lorrenelemaster1802]

What was the big hurry for. I guess that's why they call it a land rush.

[@laureah21]

man that would be fun... I want to race for land :(

[@benderbendingrofriguez3300]

Oh Americans...making us laugh since 1893.

[@AmandaFromWisconsin]

We laugh right back at you.

[@hw3006]

Except most of these people were Irish and European immigrants

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

​@@hw3006 Many, not most. The lot of them were several-generations American and were simply migrating west.

[@tonybarde2572]

Treasure Planet LOL

[@Kousaburo]

This method of claiming land does seem a little dangerous. I mean can't they have a registered application process or a lottery of some sort?

[@wilerpm11]

People that did the same as Those two cheaters at the end became to be known as "Sooners". Oklahoma nickname is "The Sooner State"

[@Moonbear-it4ty]

wilerpm11 Sooners were people who claimed land before the run started.

[@deadhead69b]

Hey that looks like Landmark!

[@1thyphallic]

Man this movie is hilarious... we watched AS A CLASS for our social studies test.. The gurl took 2 peeks!! hahahah if u know wat i mean.. maybe not though

[@Kai-vo5zq]

She wanted it is why she looked a second time :0

[@allshookup1640]

I still will never understand why people took their wagons. I would send two people on horses following each other claim the land leave one with a gun behind on the plot and THEN send the other back to get the wagon and supplies where the family is waiting inside protecting it. That way the wagon isn’t slowing you down and you can rush to get the land

[@jakecrowwheel3615]

During the Land Rush reminds me of Yellowstone

[@radioactivehands]

2:51 is gorgeous

[@perfesser944]

The American Experience. Where your great-grandpa, not knowing a word of English, with a couple of bucks in coin of the Old Country inside his pocket and a carpetbag or maybe a pillowcase holding his worldly goods, standing on the quay in Ellis Island suddenly becomes Superman painted by Norman Rockwell. God bless the old fellows. God bless Cadiz, or Naples, or Dublin, whence they came. God bless New York, for a grudging welcome. Above all, God bless this land, for the chance of starting anew, allowing old mistakes to be corrected. That is what really makes America Great.

[@vasilisneorun1700]

3:24 Can somebody explain that shooting ?

[@Hanna-q1u]

They were fighting over the same spot of land they both wanted. It was a free-for-all.

[@SafetyMentalst]

México desconocido THE LAND OF MEXICO SHOULD BE IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE ,, NOT THE DRUG LORDS AND GOVERNMENT LAND DICTATORS ! FOR MEXICO HAS THE RESOUCRES TO BE THE GREATEST NATION OF THE AMERICAS IS NOT CONTINUED TO BE LAID TO WASTE !!

[@ActionableFreedom]

oklahoma was pretty big was there really a rush like this? I mean just look at how many live there now. Why the need to rush back then?

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

Oklahoma had 7 land runs: one in April 1889, three in September 1891, one in April 1892, one in September 1893, one in May 1895. This scene depicts the Land Run of 1893, which was the largest one in U.S. history. Incidentally, Oklahoma didn't become a state until 1907.

[@CarBQTV]

This is accurate @RedCatracho
