The Legend of the Lone Ranger | Free Western Movie

[@fondasarff9701]

This is a wonderful version of the story. Beautiful scenery, glorious music and a respectable, distinguished, honorable portrayal of Tonto. Had to drive 50 miles to a theater and sat through it three times in a row. And every time people laughed when Grant threatened Custer with Montana, and cheered when that recognizable theme came on.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

LEGEND is right, half way thru this 💩 & STILL haven't even SEEN Lone Ranger, just random violence & the horse is getting more time, care, attention & character development (& apparently didn't need to be dubbed).

[@cosmicstargazer10]

Agreed - great characterisation of both Tonto & his kemosabe. Hi-Yo Silveeeeeer!

[@simonbutler2020]

I watched the TV series and movies recently with Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels. Best portrayal of the Lone Ranger and Tonto ever, imo.

Moore will always be the only Lone Ranger to those of us who grew up watching the old TV series.

I am still baffled as to why people and the so-called experts didn’t like this great film. When we first got HBO in 1981, I remember watching it over and over and absolutely fell in love with it! So they dubbed his voice, who cares! The movie was beautifully shot with epic locations and cinematography. Merle Haggard’s narration was fantastic as well! Robards and Lloyd were exceptional as usual. I will say this, for a movie that critics hated, there was a shit-load of merchandise to be had! My Christmas that year consisted of the Gabriel action figures and play set. For anyone who hasn’t seen this movie, I highly recommend it!

[@minhthunguyendang9900]

Perhaps they’d rather have the Depp version with the hero getting anointed with what Biff Tannen hated from generation 0ne.

Carlreed 6186 answered this, and is correct: _The producer of this movie filed a law suit against Clayton Moore to bar him from wearing the Lone Ranger outfit in public. Many people boycotted the movie._

[@alanhindmarch4483]

Its so corny

[@gordonhaire9206]

Your benchmark for 'outstanding and well done' is extremely low

[@Neville60001]

It flopped because the makers of the movie used the legal muscle of ITC and Universal to prevent Clayton Moore (the original Lone Ranger/John Reid from the 1950's TV series that was still popular in syndicated reruns) from appearing at appearances without the Lone Ranger mask (he had to wear a pair of Foster Grant sunglasses.) The furor over this cast a pall over the movie, in addition to lead actor Klinton Spilsbury having no real acting experience and acting like a dick on set, and the film's script caused the movie to be a failure at the box office.

Major problem with this movie was it was too short. Only 98 minutes and the film was more than halfway over when the Lone Ranger is created.

[@Johnny7051MC]

I agree, but I think they really wanted to do the backstory and were ultimately thinking of doing a saga before critics and audiences panned this one.

[@zt1053]

@@Johnny7051MC i’m not sure what happened but fans of the show felt the original Lone Ranger Clayton Moore was disrespected, which gave the movie some bad press. I think the situation was paraded several years later on the show night Court. There was an classic Western star called the red ranger who was not being allowed to wear the mask anymore because of a new film coming out but the movie ended up being a flop so he was allowed to keep wearing the mask

i'm going to preface everything i say with people are entitled to their opinions. that being said if you don't want mine stop reading....................... ok assuming you're still here, here's mine. everybody hated this movie. i didn't. of course when it came out i was like 4 years old and barely even knew who the lone ranger was if i even did at that point. didn't have cable, so if i saw this on tv prior to 86 (which i don't remember doing) when i got cable the first time, this would have been my first exposure to the legend. in 86 what at the time was cbn carried westerns all day on saturdays and part of sunday. if i remember right lone ranger started us off, and branded or guns of will sonnett finished the day. anyways back to this movie. first time i remember seeing it was somewhere between 88 and 90. based on wehre we lived at the time. abc carried it one night for some reason, nothign else on so we watched it. sine my exposure to lone ranger was very limited at this point i liked knowing the back story. of course at this time, some of the blow up had blown over from the behind the scenes stuff that i didn't know anyways. to me it was a movie, it was a western, it told me the back story of one of my favorite westerns, and to me that all equaled great movie. what an idiot apparently. personally i think part of the reason this movie got a bad rap is a couple of things, the guy playing the ranger, nobody heard of at the time, and has litterally done nothing since. that combined with the fiasco of telling clayton moore he couldn't wear the mask any more............... which i get why the fans hated that, and then inviting john hart instead to be part of the movie. not a big fan of hart's work as the ranger but i think again that was more hearing about it then seeing it. watching it for what it was i thought it was good. how anybody in the 50's thought nobody would notice is beyond me. he's shorter than moore, quite a bit heavier and wider frame, and the voice is a good 2 or 3 notes lower. but what do i know. then now i've read some of the other behind the scene stuff with how the ranger actor and tonto's actor hated each other, and stuff like that and no wonder it's so despised. i tctually thought bringing grant into it and rescuing him was actually a good story line. mahybe they did as some on imdb.com have commented spent to much time with th e legend before getting to the action. but i think if you ignore the backgroudn stuff you can still enjoy the movie. at least they got one thing right the original show didn't. what you ask? look at the 3 part premiere. when they eventually have the sheriff character on screen (or marshal what ever he was) just about every time they refer to him they call him two gun. ok you say so what? well i'm not real smart but if you're going to be called 2 gun, shouldn't u actually be carrying 2 GUNS? at no point in the parts of the episode the actor playing him is in, does he ever have to guns, i'm not even sure there's one on his horse. also little realized fact, only episodes, ranger isn't wearing a double holster.

[@johnpenguinthe3rd13]

I discovered this 1981 Lone Ranger film for the first time just last week and I LOVE it. I honestly think it's a great film. So you can imagine my confusion when I started researching the film after I saw it and found that it was massively hated during 1981. I know me loving this 1981 Lone Ranger film is just my opinion, but no way is this film deserving of the extreme hatred it got. Honestly, the majority of the hatred comes from the controversy regarding the original 50's actor that destroyed this 1981 film. I don't care about the controversy and only care about the film and I think this 1981 Lone Ranger film is a great film that I would have loved seeing a direct sequel to. Honestly, I think most people like myself (discovering the film and not knowing about the controversy) will love this film. Focusing on the film and only the film, I think it's awesome (and I honestly don't care about the controversy. I'm just here to watch a great film and this 1981 Lone Ranger film is a highly enjoyable film).

So, why are there walking sentries in a place that "nobody" can locate? With the high stockade gates and other surrounding canyon walls, there should be no need other than a guard at the moveable gate. Guess that it added to the suspense of the Lone Ranger & Tonto moving through the endless halls to find and rescue President Grant.

This film came out at the wrong time when interest in westerns were waning and the producers were giving Clayton Moore a hard time.
