Good video. The film had a couple of problems that was studio interference and not the film-makers fault. First is that it was meant to be called The Geronimo Wars, to indicate that it was about the situation and not just the man. Thus people expect a biography, which was not the intent. Secondly the studio cut 20 minutes from the film, which is now lost. I think you can feel that in the film, that there are things missing that should be there. Hill and Patric were apparently not very happy with what was done to the film. So a good film could have been better with a more understanding studio. I still like this film a lot, despite its flaws.
También es una de mis películas favoritas de Walter Hill y me encanta su banda sonora de Ry Cooder .....si es cierto que esta película tuvo muchos problemas y cortaron mucho metraje del guión de John Milius...en el libro que está basada la película salen cosas que no están en la película ....pero aún así es una buena película sobre lo que fueron las guerras apaches ....un gran video Graham gracias ....
The problem is that Hill made a different sort of film in tone from John Milius’s original script and then the studio interfered. It becomes a good film with good ideas that ultimately feels like a watered down ULZANAS RAID. It’s still a very good thinking man’s film and would never get made today in a million years by a studio. Hill would go on to make the similarly flawed but interesting WILD BILL. Both GERONIMO and WILD BILL have amazing 90’s sound mixes.

That’s some great info Peter. Makes me wonder how great this could have been.
