Review of The White Buffalo (1977) by Kevin R — 11 Dec 2010
You shall be called worms.
Wild Bill is getting older and dreams from his past haunt him as he travels back west. He can't seem to get over this nightmare about a white buffalo and he believes the dream will drive him insane. Bill encounters an old man and an indian that will help guide him to his White Buffalo and hopefully he can conquer his nemesis.

J. Lee Thompson, director of Death Wish IV, The Widow, The Evil that Men Do, Ten till Midnight, Huckelberry Finn, King Solomon's Mind, Cape Fear (1962), and Kings of the Sun, delivers The White Buffalo. The storyline for this picture was okay but not as good as I had hoped. The acting was better than average and the cast includes Charles Bronson, Jack Warden, Kim Novak, and William Sampson.
"Didn't your mom ever tell you your mouth isn't made for breaking wind?".
Thsi movie grabbed my attention when I noticed it was a relatively young Charles Bronson in a western. I have become a fan of old Charles Bronson films and the way he delivered his characters. But this...was a mediocre film. The end was a bit frustrating and the killing of the buffalo eventually became a bit...overkill. This is worth viewing once but may not be worth adding to your DVD collection.
"The white man wants death when its out of season.".
Grade: C+.
