"San Anton": A Tribute to the 1977 Film "Rolling Thunder"~ Featuring The Theme Sung By Denny Brooks
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- In 1977 a low budget action film written by screen writer Paul Schrader ("Taxi Driver", "American Gigolo", & "Hardcore"), was released starring William DeVane and a fairly unknown actor named Tommy Lee Jones. The "Death Wish" style actioner developed a cult following and is a favorite of film director Quentin Tarantino's. The theme song "San Anton" was performed by singer Denny Brooks and is quite a rare recording. The song from the film is included here in its entirety, along with some stills from the movie. I hope you enjoy this tribute.

Such a great and simple movie. Not expensive, but the story is solid and you really cared about characters. Hollywood should take notes.
Exceptional, character-driven film.
Just watched Rolling Thunder for the first time and man this song is amazing.
This song was also used in the movie The Ninth Configuration
OK
That’s what brought me here.
Anyone know who wrote the song? I saw both movies, and I knew Denny Brooks my whole life. Lovely Man. RIP

I would say this is one of the best revenge films of all time.
AMEN!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I would characterize it as a "buddy/revenge film" which makes it even better.
The song kind of peaters out at the end. It really needed another (3rd) round of the Chorus!
Oh yes, a very beautiful song indeed, it could have been a massive hit if released as a single; what a shame it's so rare. Denny's fine voice reminds me somewhat of Harry Chapin's.
Yes, I agree I just watched the last hour. Great voice.
Also similar to John Denver, who he sang with. Denny was like an uncle to me.
As much as I'd love to see Schraders fully realized version, I still love this film and song.
I watched the film totally by accident last night. As soon as I heard the piano and Denny's wonderful gentle voice I was hooked. We have no way to know how many people who would love the song will never hear it, unless a friend tells them about it or they find it by accident.
A wonderful posting. This version has an extra line that isn't in the intro to the film or the credits at the end. I'll take all of them I can get.
Thanks this made my day.
thanks saw movie when it came out always sent a chill up me
that ending as they walk out and the song comes up
The Ninth Configuration brought me here
I did basic training in the Air Force in 1984 in San Antonio. This song brings back so many memories.
I've been looking for this song everywhere. Thanks a bunch, you may only have a couple hundred views, but I know we all appreciate it.
I SURE DO miss my Mom as she was back in 1977. Rest In Peace Mom - until we see each other again. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Just watch Rolling Thunder this morning, for the 2nd time. One of the best movies ever.
Great Movie. William Devane will always Greg Summer in Knots landing. Tommy Lee Jones will always Lt. Gerrard in blockbuster film The Fugitive for me.
Saw this film today and didn't know Quentin loved this film. He's by far a great director that made some great films.
$ 100. 00. GODDAMN Darling I wanted to rent ya not buy ya ! Tommy Lee Jones to hooker . PRICELESS ! What acting ! Phenomenal actors . phenomenal movie ! 666 OUT
A brilliant song and a brilliant film I saw it when it came out in 1977 and still love it there is quite a special meaning for me that props only people that have served in the armed forces and their families would understand 🇺🇸🇬🇧💂
Was this a made for TV-MOVIE or The big -screen movie?.
haven't seen Rolling Thunder, but I heard it in The Ninth Configuration, which is amazing
great song and great upload
You should watch Rolling Thunder. Even though I'm 46 I had never seen it until this year and it's one of my favorite films ever. It has the same writer as Taxi Driver.
great song
great exploitation cinema
Beautiful song
"its time, boy."
Great movie
It's funny, I was friends with Denny Brooks on Facebook, and complimented him on this beautiful song, and he almost took it as an insult. I am guessing that his career didn't live upto expectations. Regardless, very beautiful song.
He must sound cranky so. I say you weren't friends after that on Facebook with him. All you said that you like his song.
@@johndoyle2429 I think it had more to do because he got a lot of recognition from that song, and it literally was the opening song of two movies. So, yea- I kindly complimented him, and he just made a snide remark & then nothing after that
This songs on "The Ninth Configuration" movie also. Most likely the saddest song with a knowingly false hope of finding or going back to a place and time that isn't there anymore. Which makes it more sad. A great song tho and inspiring to those that have not lost hope. Even after u lose all hope, always remember u can and will find it again.
This song and Blue Bayou, songs that make u think there's a place where life will be perfect
Knots landing actor William Devane name comes up before Tommy Lee Jones in the film. That wouldn't happen now. But to be fair William Devane could have been a Hollywood A-lister star too like Tommy Lee Jones. William Devane if notice has a pit Jack Nicholson about him, but not as good as him. Anyway look William Devane is a good actor.
This is a terrific song, sung with great emotion by Denny Brooks. Please correct the title; it's SAN ANTONE
Hey, thank you Woody Anders! Yes, the theme song was great.
It’s one of my favourite films I saw it the first week it was released in the UK in 1977. How little did I know then what the film would mean to me later in life with my experiences in life. Thank you for sharing and making this.🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸
I enjoyed watching Automatic Slim get his comeuppance.
Love the movie ! Does anyone know how to find any tutorial to play it on piano? Music sheet or something?
One of my favourite films of all time.
Absolutely 💯 Primecut with Lee Marvin and Gene Hackman is also awesome.
Thank you Kermode
THIS SONG BRINGS CHILLS TO MY SPINE OF MY OWN DEMONS OF PAST MEMORIES IN SAN ANTONE . GOD BLESS TEXAS 🇺🇸 666 OUT
Sounds like you have been in the military. Semper Fi from an old Marine Sgt...OUT
This song really depresses me sometimes. I grew living in Houston and San Antonio. San Antonio was my favorite. The depressing part is how different things were back in the 70's and eighties. Most people here aren't even Texas born these days 😞.
I am not even from US, but this is definitely one of the saddest songs I ever heard.
Who cares if they weren’t born in Texas. People are people
I did a fantastic tribute to a great film 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸💂
Yes,it is. Please spare me the callous and lame jokes about Vic Morrow.
Would you be laughing if this horrific accident happened to someone you love?
This was beautiful. Thank you.
very nice song by denny brooks :)
Let me get my gear
9th configuration as well william peter blotey
both different but equally good movies
Cool song
That's true, however those who hear this will be in for a real treat! I played a newsman when these guys (Defoe and Jones) got back from Nam. Beauty in simplicity!
No offence, can correct you. It's Devane not Defoe. Your mixing two actors with each other. William Devane and William Defoe.
I only watched the last 45 minutes of this movie. It was a great movie to "Get Even." Love the song, "San Anton"
What a good movie !
The song was used pretty effectively in the beginning of The Ninth Configuration as well in my opinion but it'll always be Rolling Thunder's first.
I miss my San Antone...
One of my top 25 movies. Up there with Rocky, Network, Thelma, Dead zone, taxi driver, The Godfather, Marathon man and Dolores Claiborne.
What I liked about this revenge film was that it was supported by real actors which makes a world of difference.
Reminds me of the Eagles' "Take it to the Limit."
Denny Brooks …..Sublime 🍀🍀🙏😎✌️
I miss how things were in 1977. 😢😢
You were hotela then, Lauren.
...And Vic Morrow...Stop playing around with your ex wifes daughter!!!
was that in some movie or is their some truth to your remark please enlighten me you've lost me
Well, I AM pretty close to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge.....
Anyone know were I can download this song from?
many people cry at the end of movie
Devane is still very much alive.
Super film que je viens découvrir
Great song and #Movie
beautiful
A GREAT FUCKING MOVIE QUOTE TOMMY LEE JONES" WE'RE HERE TO KILL A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE" WHILE GETTING LAID GREAT FUCKING MOVIE
Liked the photo of him having his hand mulched by the waste disposure...really flattering!!!
+Stephen Riley but, man, those teeth. :)
Love the photo of Linda Haynes at 2:14. So beautiful!
I dont want the video. I want the song.
GREAT FUCKING MOVIE EVEN BETTER SONG
Even though I really love the entire film (I'll just get my gear... Let's go clean em up") the opening sequence and this song are my favorite part, just takes me back to a time most dear to me.
*I've always loved this song.*
Edit: _Thanks for sharing this._
Fantastic, tyvm
