What does everyone think about the movie Jeremiah Johnson

Neat movie to watch for entertainment.

History, not so much.

Based on previous posts, I think I'm the only one on here who didn't care for it. lol Watched the whole thing twice thinking I must of missed the good stuff the first time. I'm certain there will be many quotes posted from it though. lol

It was a good story, watched it a few times

I liked the movie.

“Elk don’t know how many legs a horse has!!!”

Watch it on purpose as well as catching it on tv.

aint this sumthin i told my pap and mam i was headn to the mountains to trap and be a mountain man
they acted as if they was gut shot they says go here heres where the peoples is
them mountains is for animals and savages
i says mother Q the Rocky mountains are the marrow of the world and by God i was right

I was in 10th grade when it came out We thought it was great back then,, and what it really did was make trapping look better to those potentiol antis.

Watrch clips a few mothes ago,,, just saying it was quite impressive in the ealy 70's,,

We make an attempt to watch whenever it's on tv, great entertainment, never gets old for us.

Got a fine horse under me!

I think it's one of Robert Redford's better efforts. I don't care for some of his other ones.

I remember when it came out it sparked a big interest in muzzle loading guns especially Hawkins and reignited interest in trapping
It was around the bicentennial fever which also fueled the desire for these things
With the 250th coming I don't see the same reaction
Guess the population has shifted intrest
At the time it was a great movie and I enjoyed it
I'll rewatch it once a year historically not accurate but entertaining nonetheless the less

Was cool

Seen it about a billion times and still usually sit down and watch it when it's on and quote it all the time

It's not super accurate but it's TV people. It's for entertainment.

Guess what, big time wrasslin isn't real, either are monsters or superheroes but it still beats watching the news!!!

Twernt the Mormons!

I will watch it every few years, or parts of it when I find it on. Always enjoy it. Same for "The Mountain Men' with Brian Keith and Charlton Heston.

Chris Lapp: "You've come far pilgrim. Johnson: "Feels like far." Lapp: "Were it worth the trouble?" Johnson: "Eh, what trouble?"

10 years ago, on the way home from a Wy pronghorn hunt, my buddy and I stopped at the Museum of the Fur Trade in Chadron Ne. We then drove to Lincoln Ne and got a hotel room for the night and I found Jerimaih Johnson on the TV. Perfect timing!

Pretty good movie.

Injuns put you there? Tweren't Mormons! Read the Book Crow Killer - excellent still a bit tall tales but good read

Was that the movie where Redford and Mr. Bentley were riding thought the Indian burial ground?

I don't get too excited about the movie.... I mean it's an old movie.......OK !!!! I LIED..... SIMPLY THE BEST MOVIE EVER !!!!! I remember going to the movie theater with a gal ( we were 10th or 11th graders) I kinda wanted to get some thing going with her. But she didn't like the movie..... I didn't trade her for a Hawkens gun but I dumped her just the same!!! Of course I am kinda partial to the movie after watching it two................................. maybe three.................... thousand times !!!!!

One of my Boykin spaniel's registered names was "Hatchet Jack's Hawken Rifle", call name Hatchet.

I always get a kick on how hard the recoil is from that first shot Johnson takes with that Hawken.

First saw that movie at the thee ater when me and my best friend were 12 years old. It was a double feature with Dumbo the Elephant coming on first.
By the end of Jeremiah Johnson, we were hooked for life. I've been a trapper ever since then going on 50 years now.
I still get excited about what I have caught prior to each trap check.
If I can't sleep at night all I have to do is visualize and count each trap set in the order of how I set them. It might be 45 or 50 sets. If I am still awake before I get to the last set, I'll start over by visualize them in reverse order. That's harder and shuts my lights out much sooner.
