I liked Gerard too. But he didn't put enough effort in his speaking voice. It sounded great occasionally. Also he refused to wear blue contacts on his brown eyes.
Actually? Russell was laughable. The movie was very shallow and poor. This new movie by Baz, will really dive into the relationship with the colonel and show how elvis's soul depth and diversity thrived, despite having a manager who knew nothing about artistry.
@@80steen44 yea but I’m not talking about looks, I’m talking about how he captures Elvis’s character himself. Even Elvis’s wife says that he may have done the best job with this movie. C’mon Elvis’s wife, the main person today who knew Elvis. If she says he had a great portrayal as her husband then I would take her word for it. She says that it felt as though her husband’s spirit was actually there as she saw butler in action. Js🤷♂️Also I think his voice for Elvis is better, and he actually sang the songs.
@@bambambenny8894 he sings a few of the young Elvis songs but the more mature songs are Elvis recordings, like the 68 special material in Black leather, If I Can Dream, Suspicious Minds and Unchained Melody. All I'm saying is that for a low budget TV movie in 1979, Kurt did a really good job, especially considering he was the first to try it. He reminded the standard for 43 years, that's over 4 decades
Don't want to start an argument, but Austin put 2 years into research for the movie, he also sang. For me he was better than Kurt and I am a big fan of his.
Never knew… Bing Russell (Kurt’s father) played Elvis’ dad. Season Hubley (Kurt’s wife) played Priscilla. Saw the movie when it came out and was impressed with his imitation. Loved it.
Did you see what Priscilla said about Austin Butler’s performance ? She cried 😢. He truly touched her bc she felt as though he was there in her presence.
Is the Kurt Russel Elvis going to air? I have requested it all day long. The preview is played and then some other Elvis documentary comes on. I want to see the Kurt Russel Elvis!!! I saw it years ago and it still is the best I have ever seen. WHY IS IT NOT PLAYING???????
KURT RUSSELL DID A TRIMENDOUS JOB PORTRAYING ELVIS PRESLEY.HE EVEN RESEMBLED ELVIS IN SOME SCENES. I LOVED THAT MOVIE. YES..KURT RUSSELL DID A VERY GOOD JOB.
Kurt Russell, who started out as a child actor in a tv series, does a good, credible Elvis in this movie. He’s always been a good actor! Hope this new Aelvis movie in 2022 can be even just as good.
Loved Kurt from his Disney days & he's still a great actor today. Yes, he made a great Elvis with the same similarities & especially looked like Elvis at Glady's funeral & in the army uniform but now 40+ years on movies have improved technical wise & Austin Butler did a great job in the 21st century....but having said that our handsome Kurt still did an amazing job here & in 3000 Miles To Graceland where he would once again don the studded jumpsuit.
This is one of these strange stories in Hollywood: Russell as a kid kicked Elvis Presley 15 years later Russell would play Elvis in the biopic directed by John Carpenter. And 22 years later he would play a delinquent disguised as Elvis who is kicked by a kid in "3000 Miles to Graceland".
Up till Austin played Elvis in the the Baz 2022 Elvis movie Kurt performance as Elvis I always thought was the best. But after seeing the once in a lifetime performance that Austin gave and he did actually sing in the movie. In the early years it was all Austin voice and in the later twars they morped Austin and Elvis voice together. Personally I feel both actors gave the best performance portraying a person who was and is so worldwide known. It is very hard to do a performance that wvery person is gking to like. But both of these guys gave amazing performances and gave everything they had 2 deliver such amazing performances.
I’m a huge fan of elvis Presley’s I love 💕 elviss music and flims too too elvis will always be the king 👑 of rock and roll 🎸 my dream is to visit Graceland and communicate with elvis tcb all the way ⚡️⚡️⚡️7:27pm
Für mich war das der beste Schauspieler, den Elvis the King gespielt hatte, Kurt war für mich der beste , To me that was the best actor Elvis the King had played, Kurt to me was the best
@@AbeStephan wow, das finde ich super und Kurt hat mal bei einem Webwettbewerb den ersten Platz für die beste Darstellung von Elvis gewonnen, weil er die Elvis-Figur mit dem Hüftschwung am besten hinbekommen hat,, wow, I think that's great and Kurt once won first place in a web competition for the best portrayal of Elvis because he did the Elvis figure with the hip swing bes.
He looks bit by a tarantula. Elvis was exactly the opposite, sinuous and sexy, charming and charismatic and always very calm in public...we hope that Buz Luhrmann makes the miracle...
Agreed. People think this was such a good portrayal only because it was slightly better than the worst ones and many were terrible. I like Kurt Russell but he wasn't that believable to me. Vicki
I agree that Kurt, and Michael did a wonderful job on both movies, but like Marvin Gaye, sang, "ain't nothing like the real thing" but I did see both movies when they came out the first time, and I'm glad someone's keeping Elvis' memory alive. I hope one of these days he will be in the schools history books, that would be cool bcuz it's better than some of the music that's coming out today .
Most people don't know that in Forrest Gump when he's showing Elvis how to move you don't ever see his face but you hear him talk and Kurt Russell did the voice of Elvis on Forrest Gump ....uncredited
The movie could have been better, but Kurt was GREAT! In 1978 when the t-v movie ELVIS was filmed , Kurt Russell wore the real Adonis suit with the permission of Vernon Presley. But in june 1979 Vernon died and the suit was never returned. It was put on auction and now it is on display at the Hard Rock Cafe in Orlando.
Huyno no hay verdadero elvis AARON presley nohay quien nadie puede compararse ni sitituirlo jamas el es único y único en el universo mundo tierra y hastral espiritual en esencia precensia y bos y energía única infinito ect
Rick Saucedo, from Chicago, was offered the part of Elvis, but turned it down when they told him he would have to lip synch the lyrics. Today, at 68 yrs old, he is an accomplished song wtiter and continues his ETA of over 50 years. He has you tube video of his Elvis music as well as his own music. He has been doing Elvis longer than Elvis did Elvis.
The screenplay/script on this was better than the 2023 version, mix this with Austin's comeback special part of the 2023 movie and it would be the ultimate elvis biography movie
Kurt Russell was the best Elvis performer. He did not try like Austin Butler to look and speak like Ellvis. There is only one Elvis and Kurt Russell was not a imitator, he.had the charisma and the sexuel looks like the real Elvis.
Bom filme. Tomara que neste novo filme sobre Elvis mostre a realidade que ele foi generoso, sorridente, gostava de sua família, de seus fãs e tbm uma pessoa que amava ao Senhor Jesus.
Kurt Russel n' a rien avoir avec Elvis... Elvis a un charme naturel, un sourire irrésistible, une voix hors du commun inimitable !!!... de plus on nous montre un Elvis bagarreur, arrogant, désagréable.... à l' opposé du King qui était humble, souriant, proche de ses fans et de ses musiciens...rien à voir avec celui qu' on nous montre dans ce film. En outre, Kurt Russel est plus petit de taille et n' a pas la tenue de scène et le jeu de jambes d' Elvis. C' est une pâle imitation qui ne fait pas honneur à la mémoire du King!...
Курт Рассел будучи 12 летним пацаном пнул Елвиса Пресли по ноге,эта такая боль,знаю по себе.,а когда он в роли ЕЛВИСА,пусть кто-то его тоже пнет,чтоб знал,что такое боль..
more Elvis here: ua-cam.com/play/PLbPzSVIJFd4F01Lxit18yyLbhU2eZ34eb.html
Kurt Russell is amazing playing elvis - I never would have thought that beforehand. Just wow!
Russell's performance is still the best portrayal of Elvis that I've ever seen. Michael St. Gerard also was very good in the 1990s Elvis TV series.
Totally agree! 1000%
Yes, this upcoming 2022 version is going to have a hard act to follow
I liked Gerard too. But he didn't put enough effort in his speaking voice. It sounded great occasionally. Also he refused to wear blue contacts on his brown eyes.
Actually? Russell was laughable. The movie was very shallow and poor.
This new movie by Baz, will really dive into the relationship with the colonel and show how elvis's soul depth and diversity thrived, despite having a manager who knew nothing about artistry.
Looking forward to seeing it.
Kurt did a great job on this tv movie!
The movie is Crap, Look at when it was Made!!
@@denisdavidbolton3981 you sound ignorant!
Bad acting
That is a big dummy!
It wasn't a tv movie. It was cinema released
Thank you Mr. Russell for your spectacular performance portraying The King! I have enjoyed all your movies and may you be blessed!
This was the best portrayal of Elvis, ever! Kurt Russell did a fantastic job of portraying Elvis. I could watch this over and over again.
Loved this still my favourite
This was the Best Elvis Movie! By Far! Kurt Russell Did the Best Job being Elvis! Austin did okay,. But Kurt,. Definitely The Best!
Hell no. Austin did not just do "ok" 😂 he was amazing
Kurt Russell was amazing and Ronnie McDowell as the voice in all of Elvis’s songs made the movie! 2 together can never be beat
So far he is the best actor to portray Elvis. He won and Emmy award for this performance 😻😻
He was nominated, he didn't win. He lost to Peter Strauss
Just wait for Austin butler’s performance
@@bambambenny8894 well Butler has a lot of make up, 2 years of study and a big budget.
@@80steen44 yea but I’m not talking about looks, I’m talking about how he captures Elvis’s character himself. Even Elvis’s wife says that he may have done the best job with this movie.

So far No one has done Better than Kurt..very Good Movie..
I was surprised to find the dvd in widescreen at Best Buy. It was filmed for theaters in Europe first in 35mm. Then broadcast here in full screen.
Don't want to start an argument, but Austin put 2 years into research for the movie, he also sang. For me he was better than Kurt and I am a big fan of his.
@@glennpacker1769 just seen the Movie..Austin was great..no complaints with me..
Did watch Austin Butler?
@@asokanponnusamy I just seen the movie..it was very Good..
The king for ever!
This was the best Elvis movie - Kurt was Great. I wish it went in the 1977 year as opposed to just 1969 .
By far the best movie about the life of Elvis Kurt Russell hit the ball out of the park
Still the BEST movie made on ELVIS !!!
Kurt Russell. Played in one of Elvis movie. It happened at the world fair. When he was a boy. He's the little boy who kicked Elvis in his shin
joe siwek spot on
Yes it’s hard to believe it’s the same person
Never knew… Bing Russell (Kurt’s father) played Elvis’ dad. Season Hubley (Kurt’s wife) played Priscilla. Saw the movie when it came out and was impressed with his imitation. Loved it.
By far the Best Elvis Presley tribute movie ever done
Kurt was the closet impression of Elvis I've ever seen. I believe even Priscilla said it was eerie how he took the roll on.
May we see it in youtube?0
@@anamariapalau1612
I don't know. I watched it on TV years ago.
You can also find it on the net, search on google, “Elvis the movie online” ✌️
Did you see what Priscilla said about Austin Butler’s performance ? She cried 😢. He truly touched her bc she felt as though he was there in her presence.
@@hawkeyemaga3110
I haven't seen that yet.
Intense Preformance and great acting.
Best Elvis EVER!!! Infinitely more convincing than this new film.

Kurt Russell was the best actor who ever played Elvis
I like Kurt Russell and he was good, but he isn’t tall enough. At 5’9” he’s quite a bit shorter than Elvis’ 6 ft.
He looked very similar
Al menos logra parecerse !!❤😊 suban la película!!!
Kurt Russell, who started out as a child actor in a tv series, does a good, credible Elvis in this movie. He’s always been a good actor! Hope this new Aelvis movie in 2022 can be even just as good.
I doubt it.
@@Elvis-guy1973 yeah well its even better
Nobody else can play Elvis like Kurt Russell.
Elvis the best forever
Kurt set the bar that has never been matched.
He did a great job as Elvis
Loved Kurt from his Disney days & he's still a great actor today. Yes, he made a great Elvis with the same similarities & especially looked like Elvis at Glady's funeral & in the army uniform but now 40+ years on movies have improved technical wise & Austin Butler did a great job in the 21st century....but having said that our handsome Kurt still did an amazing job here & in 3000 Miles To Graceland where he would once again don the studded jumpsuit.

It's a triple Jinx!!
Also, the character that Elvis plays in the movie Change of Habit is named Doctor... wait for it... John Carpenter.
@@billg3356 A quadruple Jinx!!
La mejor interpretación de Elvis que he visto,Karl Russell lo clavó 👍
Espantoso, ni parecido!!!
Kurt Russel.
Genial ! Bravo for this film ! Elvis el mas grande . Kurt Rusell loves Elvis so I do
Well since Kurt russels face never change, he still look like Russel playing the Elvis😂
To whom doesn't love ELVIS? Great tribute, movie
This film is the best and only❤
The best Elvis ever
...to me this movie...(Elvis 1979 )..with...Kurt Russell...is way better then the new elvis movie..2023...
Up till Austin played Elvis in the the Baz 2022 Elvis movie Kurt performance as Elvis I always thought was the best.

I still say of all the films he’s the best. Best job best look alike. If you stop the video at 0:31. You can’t tell that’s not Elvis.
Great movie have watched it many times on DVD. ❤️❤️❤️

Did John Carpenter's ELVIS play in theaters in Europe ? Some TV movies were shown in theaters like Steven Spielberg's DUEL .

The boy who have a dream 🎤
Nunca había visto esta película,que buena actuación de de este actor es lo mas parecido a Elvis Presley.
I Cant wait to watch it..... I LOVE YOU ELVIS ARON PRESLEY.......
KR did an excellent job on Elvis.
KR met Elvis as a child.
KURT DONE A FANTASTIC JOB AS ELVIS ! ❤
He is similar on Elvis so much .. 💗
He looks bit by a tarantula. Elvis was exactly the opposite, sinuous and sexy, charming and charismatic and always very calm in public...we hope that Buz Luhrmann makes the miracle...
Agreed. People think this was such a good portrayal only because it was slightly better than the worst ones and many were terrible. I like Kurt Russell but he wasn't that believable to me. Vicki
After Austin Butler's recent dynamic portrayal of Elvis, all roles of him (including this one) need to be SHELVED!
The movie with Austin Butler wasn't good at all, but it's a sign of the times. Anything good is fast departing this world.
Ronnie McDowell performance in this is astonishing to
Kurt Russell as Elvis is much better than this latest movie.
The best possible after that ever played Elvis
Miss you Elvis Presley 😢 🎸🎹🎙📻🎤🎧🥁
My happiness Elvis ⚡👑Thank you Vali 😍
Uno de los actores que mejor ha interpretado a Elvis
Kurt is still tops as Elvis.
I agree that Kurt, and Michael did a wonderful job on both movies, but like Marvin Gaye, sang, "ain't nothing like the real thing" but I did see both movies when they came out the first time, and I'm glad someone's keeping Elvis' memory alive. I hope one of these days he will be in the schools history books, that would be cool bcuz it's better than some of the music that's coming out today .
Probably the only Elvis actor I liked. Both are darn cute.
I haven't seen Season Hubely for years.
Kurt Russell looked more like Elvis than the current actor does in the new Elvis movie.
Who’s here after seeing the Elvis 2022 trailer
Trivia Fact : Kurt wore the actual Elvis jumpsuit at the end of the movie..requested by Vernon...
Funny how the guy went from Kicking him in the shin to playing him.
...I remember when this movie came out on..television I was in high school back in 1979...waaaooo..
But even in 79 people didnt have access to the info they have now so this film showed people the real Elvis Presley
Wow!
Ah no Austin Addicts here cool ! Considering the times and materials he had to use a very good job 👍
I have the movie outstanding
Most people don't know that in Forrest Gump when he's showing Elvis how to move you don't ever see his face but you hear him talk and Kurt Russell did the voice of Elvis on Forrest Gump ....uncredited
Oh..thank you for that fact..
Ellen Travolta portrayed the lady in Sam Phillips Sun studios
I agree ( this movie was ABC movie of the week And Kurt Russell protray Elvis well.
The movie could have been better,
but Kurt was GREAT!

Yeah, it's pretty unanimous. The best portrayal of Elvis I've ever seen was by Kurt Russell hands down.
How did I just hear about this?
First he kicked Elvis in the shin, then he got the job a decade later.
Another great Elvis Presley movie before 2022, thanks to John Carpenter who did horror movie often.
Kurt Russell and John Carpenter make movie magic . Their ELVIS is better than the CBS biopic and that theatrical movie from a year ago .
I don’t understand why that haven’t gone to theaters
Kurt Russel n' a rien avoir avec Elvis... Elvis a un charme naturel, un sourire irrésistible, une voix hors du commun inimitable !!!... de plus on nous montre un Elvis bagarreur, arrogant, désagréable.... à l' opposé du King qui était humble, souriant, proche de ses fans et de ses musiciens...rien à voir avec celui qu' on nous montre dans ce film.

C' est une pâle imitation qui ne fait pas honneur à la mémoire du King!...
tout à fait d'accord personne n'aura jamais son "sourire d'ange" ni sa manière d'être il est et sera toujours seul et unique
Tout à fait d'accord avec vous kurt Russel est agressif le contraire d elvis
Kurt Rusell is Elvis
Where is his sweet and lovely smile???
In effetti non ci avevo mai pensato, ma ci somiglia un casino!🧐😳
kurt is better with elvis voice i hope it will be in future it give a version of the movie with elvis original voice
♥️♥️♥️
Still the best portrayal of Elvis!
ЭЛВИСА МОЖЕТ ИГРАТЬ ТОЛЬКО САМ ЭЛВИС!!!!!!!!
НИКТО И НИКОГДА НЕ ПЕРЕДАСТ ЕГО КРАСОТУ, ЕГО ОБОЯНИЕ И ЕГО ТАЛАНТ!!!!!!!
ПУСТЬ ДАЖЕ НЕ ПЫТАЮТСЯ!!!!!!!
So much kicking ELVIS’s leg and now he becomes him
