    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Charles Bronson's final western.
    • Goofs
      Crazy Horse only learns of Hickok's true identity when Charlie curses him at the end. However, earlier in the film, as Jack Kylene is challenging Hickok on the mountain, he shouts his name numerous times before Crazy Horse kills him with arrows. Kylene's voice echoes repeatedly. Crazy Horse would easily have heard him.
    • Quotes

      [after their stagecoach is attacked, Hickok and Pickney check for casualties]

      Wild Bill Hickok: This lady's walkin' the streets of glory.

      Abel Pinkney: God damn! Blue Whistler musta caught her right in the third eye.

    • Crazy credits
      The final credits play between two sepia oval portraits of the two principal actors in character, with the captions: "J.B.Hickok - Born 1837- Murdered 1876" and "Crazy Horse - Born 1842- Murdered 1877".

    Authentic sounding language
    The thing about the White Buffalo itself is pretty hokey, the buffalo is really not scary enough to give anybody nightmares. What makes this movie a standout are the supporting roles by Stuart Whitman, Kim Novak, Jack Warden, etc. Also it's great to see Will Sampson as Crazy Horse. However the best thing about this movie is the language. Words like "flummoxed" appear. It's how I imagine people in the 1870's would have talked in the American West. I cannot recall another Western where language has been put to better use.
