A very much under-rated movie. The part were the Lone Ranger first dons his mask and rides off and rescues Tonto from the gallows is great, even now.
Reminds me of the original Clayton Moore & Jay Silverheels.
Great stuff!
I agree 100% with you. How can you not smile when that happens. I remember the audience cheering wildly at that scene, the scene where he first dons the mask and the climax of the movie when the Lone Ranger leaps onto Silver with the William Tell Overture blaring as he give chase to Cavendish. The movie is full of fantastic and heroic scenes. This movie is judged so harshly. I LOVE this film. The audience I saw it with loved it.
I remember watching this video years ago, glad to see it's still here.
I love how everyone mentions how bad this movie was, yet it's actually really good. The movie had some solid performances, a story that stayed true to the origins, it took the material seriously and it was shot by one of the greatest cinematographers there is, Laszlo Kovacs. Watch this movie in widescreen format and tell me it's not one of the most beautiful westerns ever filmed. In many ways it's tighter and more focused than the 2013 Disney version yet tells almost the same story.
The film is cool, i dont think it was a terrible film tht others might say it is, i realy feel the film is a good interpretation of the legend of the lone ranger with a great soundtrack to go with this film, really good movie for its time in the eighties.
I saw this movie in the theater when I was 12. And it was perfect. And it still is.
A true classic.......... 5 stars!!!
You are too kind,I was 19 and very idealistic. But I do appreciate the thanks because of that era and how the Veterans were treated so horribly, my son (3rd Gen. Vet) returned from Iraq relatively unscathed and was welcomed home by all.
I love this video! I wish there was a dvd version of the movie out.
@Craig Rosenblum I think I found of it and it is on ebay on DVD and there several of them on there.
Clayton Moore as The Lone Ranger was in my opinion, probably one of the last true American heros and role models for us all. I would hope that as adults we would share the legacy of The Lone Ranger with our children and grandchildren whether its the 50's version with Clayton Moore or this 1981 movie.
I loved this movie! Put it out on DVD for God's sake!!!! I want it!!!!
Such an awesome video for such an underrated movie. While I enjoyed the 2013 "Lone Ranger" movie, the 1981 film was far superior in tone and story. I found out about this movie on The Cinema Snob, and looking at footage, I knew I had to track this movie down. Despite it flaws, it was very well written, well acted, and well shot. Shame this movie tanked, if Jack Rather didn't act like such a douche towards Clayton Moore, this movie would turned up a better profit at the box office.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video!
Carey Fisher Your so very welcome. :)
+Carey Fisher I saw this in the theater and it was my favorite rendition of The Lone Ranger, especially when he's trying to get to know Silver -- that was truly emotional.
@TheRyryramone Thanks, Tyryamone! So glad you liked it and thanks for taking the time to post!
Awesome movie. The best depiction of the lone ranger on film
I agree totally! This movie deserves a DVD release. I can't believe all the crap that gets a DVD release but "The Legend Of The Lone Ranger" doesn't. Makes no sense to me. There are many fans of this movie who would buy a copy.
I see this movie in my childhood!!! I love it!!! I love when toto recue him!!!...What a memories!!!!
Thanks for doing this video. Saw the movie at theater in Spearfish, South Dakota with my parents in 1981. We were visiting the Black Hills that year. At the time, we lived in Casper, Wyoming.
Great video. I go back to the days of radio and the voice of
Brace Beamer. I also watched Clayton Moore on TV. When
I hear the Lone Ranger theme song, The William Tell Overture it reminds me of the days of my childhood. Thanks again for posting the video.
Wow...talk about something to make one feel young again! As a kid, the show and music were among my favorites and this video is absolutely super!
Thanks for your efforts in putting it all together.
I'm 62 years old and will always identify Clayton Moore as being the official Lone Ranger. However, I know the 1981 film was not a success, but time can sometimes work things out. Perhaps if it was re-released again with maybe some added material, our present generation would like it. This video was well done and I totally enjoyed it.
I can't believe people don't like this movie. I thought this was a really great movie. Still do...
I recently caught this on ENCORE WESTERNS for the first time in 20 years. Love the ending when the William Tell overture kicks in for the chase w/ Christopher Lloyd.
bought this on dvd yesterday and watched it for the first time. I was totally blown away! what an excellent film and i didnt even know it existed. Brilliant.
This is the Movie that took me back to yesteryear! To see the legend unfold and the dastardly Butch Cavendish's evil plot take shape,watching the famed 7th Cav to the rescue and lastly the crowning finally(cue the music)as the Lone Ranger bests Butch mano e' mano !! I can't thank you enough for the memories,well done,amigo. I personally enjoyed the movie and rarely do I heed the critics.
@justicelord Thanks so much for taking the time to tell me that you enjoyed the video, justicelord! I really appreciate it.
Great movie - unlike so many so called remakes stuck to the original story ans was the best remake of the last 30 years.
The audience reaction was exactly the same at the theater I saw this in. The audience really loved the movie and cheered and applauded at the grave scene, when The Lone Ranger rescued Tonto from the gallows and when The Lone Ranger jumped on Silver's back to pursue Cavendish. Glad you like the video! Thanks for commenting!
Clayton and Jay will forever ride the wild open plains in the great wild west of the sky. Hi oh Silver!
Same here, I have a DVD of the original first episodes of the original TV series. And after seeing clips of this movie, I can safely say this film also reminds me of the Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels TV Series.
Agreed! It's so much better than many current summer blockbusters. I wish these haters could name a scene in a recent movie that's as cool as seeing Spillbury put on the hat at his brother's grave, the William Tell Overture kick in and a 2 minute montage of the Ranger and Tonto riding. Gold!
people slated this film but at least they looked like the lone ranger and tonto unlike the crap version Disney turned out that shit should never been made. also it has spoilt it for film makers that may decide to visit the lone ranger in future films
To be honest, seeing the 2013 movie in the Theater, the only great moment I can name is the climax on the train. But that was about it, everything else was unfocused and and very humorous looking back. But I'd still prefer this movie in terms of story and tone.
I had never seen this, I had never wanted to see this, I had thought it looked stupid.
My mind has just been blown at how epic this looks.
Glad you liked the video, CentralHowie. Thanks for the reply. Always nice to hear from a fellow fan of this movie.
Great video,loads of childhood memories, Thanks for posting
Like their style, the way two companion ride in slow motion with pride and style ;)
@tmbuse1
Fantastic, tmbuse! There is something very pure about the Lone Ranger that young people seem to latch on to. Thank you for the kind words and thank you so much for taking the time to comment on the video. I sincerely appreciate it.
Actually, the movie is finally available on DVD. Not sure if it is widescreen or not but you can now add "The Legend Of The Lone Ranger" to your DVD collection. I got my copy from a torrent last year. So glad you liked my video! Thanks for replying!
Thanks, holmsatlarge! So glad you enjoyed the video even if you did not enjoy the movie. I actually like the movie but I can totally understand why so many people, including you, do not.
I wont say it is a lost jewel from comic adaptations, but it is a fine movie that deserved better. There is no way to compare this to that trash with Johnny "Creepy" Depp. Perhaps someday the major audience rediscover this and give it more credit. Thumbs up, thanks from sharing.
Her name was Juanin Clay. She also appeared in "WarGames" and was almost cast as WIlma Deering in "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century". The role of WIlma went to Erin Gray but Juanin Clay actually appeared in an episode of "Buck Rogers" called "Vegas In Space".
Juanin Clay died in 1995 at the age of 45.
The cause of her death is disputed. Some sources say she died of breast cancer, however the user-edited Internet Movie Database site says her death was caused by a heart ailment.
I loved this movie!!
Well underated as a Lone Ranger film..
I too, am jealous of those pearl handle revolvers. Reading these posts,I think there are alot of people upset that THEY aren't THE Lone Ranger. Atleast, I still have my 1968-9 action figure,LOL!!!
Nicely done, as kids we loved the Lone Ranger because he was human and had abilities and No super powers, and still served justice.
thank you for bringing back memories from my childhood.
Greatest lone ranger theme of all time
Thanks, Bazzer. So glad you liked the video.
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Thanks, ceaserdressing! So glad you liked the video. Thanks for taking the time to post a comment.
I had no idea this movie exsisted!!! I NEED to see it now!!! HI YO SILVER...AWAY!!!!
I saw this movie at the theater when it came out, and while it isn't oscar material, it wasn't as bad as all that. I loved the old b&w series as a child. And this video was nice and very well done. good job!
Thanks for putting this up. I remember watching this movie on cable when I was young. This version is way better than the crappy Johnny Depp version. Michael Horse was a better Tonto. Depp made him into a buffoon. This film wasn't appreciated at the time. Too bad for Klinton Spilsbury. It requires a second viewing. Thanks again for putting it up.
"Michael Horse was a better Tonto." Thanks for saying that! I absolutely love Michael Horse as Tonto.
Thanks for the info.
The "sherriff" in the movie also appeared on a episode of "Magnum, P.I." and "Back to the Future Part III."
It certainly was the great John Barry who composed the score for "The Legend Of The Lone Ranger".
Thank you so much for the compliments and thank you for taking the time to comment!
¡El rescate de Toro es magistral!
Great video!!! I remember the TV series when I was a kid. :)
You need to post the fight scene in the end! That was one of the best all time fight scenes EVER!
I loved this movie!!!!!!
Thanks for the comment, brandon. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know you enjoyed the video.
Great job putting this together. I watched it today on DVD for the first time (yes, I know Full Screen sucks but it's better than nothing) with my son. This actor who played John Reid/Lone Ranger only made this one movie and thats it. This movie came out in 1981, of course it's not going to be blockbuster but I found it enjoyable in the theater back then as well as today.
I loved the movie and love this video! Thanks!
I don't care what anyone thinks of the movie, the scene shown at 1:01 is one of my all-time favorites. Tonto about a half-second from being hung, then the rope snaps, the Wiliiam Tell Overture hits, and Tonto gives that little smirk that shows he was never really worried. Even if you don't like the movie at all, the spirit was perfectly captured in that moment!
I really enjoyed this movie as a kid. I was about 9 or 10 when It came out and I was already a huge fan of The Lone Ranger. Later I learned what the producers did in regards to Clayton Moore and while i understood why that alone made many people mad (I felt it was a slap in the face to ever LR fan I also had to feel bad for the Film which is by it's own merits, fairly exciting and enjoyable. I just bought the DVD the Soundtrack and the Movie Storybook as a tribute.
I loved these guys when I was little. And I still do.
Jerry Bruckheimer has said that he's working on a new Lone Ranger movie that will be made for today's audiences, but will still have the same core values of Fran Striker's creation. Nothing will happen until the writers strike is over.
Every time I hear this Hayo Silver!, I feel alive.
Not sure what to think of the new Lone Ranger film yet, Oreckboy. The teaser trailer did not show much so will be waiting for something more before I make up my mind on it. I think Armie Hammer is a great choice for The Lone Ranger. SO glad you like my video and thank so much for taking the time to comment!
Thanks ksand. I'm actually thinking about cutting a trailer for this movie. Had so much fun doing the 2 music videos.
very nice, I think I'll pull out the old VHS I have and watch the movie.
Thanks so much, Don! So glad you liked the video and thanks for posting!
I Loved This Movie very much to me he was the Lone Ranger
What an uplifting theme song.
I remember my uncle taking me to see this good movie up in the Bronx back in 1981.
Holy Shit! Time flew by 😢
Excellent I Have the DVD coming!
I know this movie (The Lone Ranger) came before Back to the Future, but when I rewatched The Lone Ranger, all I could hear during when Kavendish (C.Lloyd) is telling his plan, was Doc Brown saying, "I'm sorry. i didn't have time to build it to scale."
Fans of Clayton Moore refused to accept another actor playing the Lone Ranger and boycotted the movie. Klinton Spilsbury never made another film after "The Legend of The Lone Ranger". Most of the blame regarding the disappointing box office returns was unfairly laid at his feet. It's a shame because he is my favorite Lone Ranger.
No, thank you for taking the time to post it. It's a great, great memory of mine. I saw it twice in the movie theater. (Remember, when you'd see something in the movies twice...before you could "buy" a movie). My buddy Mike and I went, my Mom took us. We loved it. It was a matinee and Mike and I were on our feet, cheering. When The Lone Ranger save Tonto from being hanged, we went crazy. So, again, thank you!
You are more than welcome for my honest and sincere "Thank You". So glad your son is home and safe.
exactly. I know to younger kids we would sound like old farts. But some movies do hold up. This movie was NEVER ever even remotely bad at all. if it came out today in HD people would love it. The bad press at the time ( surrounding how the original actor was treated) was what cursed this movie for decades. I defy any critic to disect what was wrong with this movie. It plays out like BATMAN BEGINS
It's not as bad as you've heard. This movie was unfairly bashed before it even made it into theaters. Fans of Clayton Moore were boycotting and bad mouthing it and a bad legal decision by Universal also helped to turn the public against it. It is a very entertaining movie and well worth checking out.
Clayton Moore was replaced by John Hart for one season. In his bio...I WAS THAT MASKED MAN...Clayton said he never found out why he was fired and then rehired the next season.Clayton Moore will always be the Lone Ranger!
Just to let everyone know, a new "Lone Ranger" movie was announced by Disney yesterday. The creative team behind the "Pirate Of The Caribbean" films are involved and Johnny Depp, who is part Cherokee, will be playing Tonto. Still no word on who the new Lone Ranger will be. Bruckheimer and company made pirates cool and relevant to modern audiences with the "Pirates Of The Caribbean" films. Let's hope they can do the same with "The Lone Ranger".
Thanks for taking the time to comment on the video, cidergame. So glad you liked the video and it's always great to hear from a fellow Lone Ranger fan!
I could not have summed up "The Legend Of The Lone Ranger" any better than that, NamVet! It appears that you and I love that movie for the same reasons. Pure, simplistic escape to yesteryear when the hero wore a white hat and fought for justice.
Thanks so much for the comment and the compliment! But, most of all, thank you for all that you did for this country, amigo!
@PRMoens Thank you so much. So glad you enjoyed the video!
Though this flick may not have been a mega blockbuster when it played in theaters I do remember seeing it quite alot on cable tv during the early 80's and have later caught it on comercial television a few times too. And yes, though I'm not a childe of the 50's & 60's, I do barely remember the old tv show as it was still being run on local syndicated television where I grew up during the 70's and early 80's .
Thank you, Lacey! So glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to post a comment!
Respectfully, Clayton Moore was not the only actor to play the Lone Ranger. The Lone Ranger has been portrayed by Lee Powell, Robert Livingston, Tex Hill, Clayton Moore, John Hart and Klinton Spilsbury.
Mr. Moore may be the actor most identified with the role but he was hardly the sole actor to portray the Lone Ranger. Thanks for the comment, frostypo. I appreciate it even if you and I disagree.
This version bombed because of a lawsuit not because it was a bad movie. Clayton Moore had kept the character alive for over forty years in personnel appearances. When this movie was released, he was told by the Wrather Corp., owners of the character, that he couldn't wear his mask and appear in public as the Lone Ranger anymore. His fans protested the action by staying away from the movie en masse. That is why it failed. If Clayton Moore had been honored instead, this movie would've been gold.
@shadowr2d2 Thank you, shadow2d2! I also wish that the producers of "The Legend Of The Lone Ranger" had not sued Clayton Moore. Clayton was loved by so many as the Lone Ranger and the studio really made a big mistake in suing him. I am sure this led to the downfall of "The Legend Of The Lone Ranger". Thanks for commenting!
I haven't seen this since it was in a theater and I liked it way back then. Wonder if it aged well.
Thank you so much, sunwarrior! I am so glad you liked the video. Thank you for taking the time to let me know how much you liked it! I really appreciate it!
Thanks for the nice compliment. Yeah, I love this movie too. I got my copy from a torrent on demonoid.
@jayjayvet Thank you so much for the comment jay! That narration by the legenday Fred Foy is fantastic
It was just recently released on DVD earlier this month. Should be available in stores in your area. If not, you can order it online.
@igorelhutin Thank you so much, igorelhutin! So glad you enjoyed it and so glad you took the time to comment!
Would love to have this on Blu-ray.
Amazing..thanks for uploading, i was searching for this theme song and finally found it. I couldnt wait to watch this series when i was young.
Hi everyone! Just wanted to let you all know, that I think " The Legend Of The Lone Ranger" finally galloped it's way on to DVD. I saw sellers on E-bay taking pre-orders for it, with an August 25th release date! They're saying it's a North American region 1 disc. LET'S KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED!
Yeah, I agree that the producers blew this badly. They did indeed treat Clayton Moore badly. It was really heartless to take the mask away from him. The man had little to no career after "The Lone Ranger" ended and was making a living from Lone Ranger appearances. The producers of "The Legend Of The Lone Ranger" basically took Clayton Moore's bread and butter away from him. I happen to like "The Legend Of The Lone Ranger" but hate the behind the scenes politics that helped seal the movie's fate.
Thanks so much, robgebby! I am so glad you liked the video. By the way, Showtime is running "The Legend Of The Lone Ranger"in widescreen this month.
Thanks for taking the time to post a comment!
Thanks, Julao. Appreciate the rating and comment.
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment1
Glad you enjoyed the video.
By the way, "The Legend Of The Lone Ranger" is running on Showtime in widescreen.
It was just on earlier tonight.
brounbuck, I could not agree with you more. The producers threw Klinton under the bus simply because Klinton felt he should be compensated for all the extra work required to re dub the film.
The film was shot on location and much of the soundtrack had to be re done. Pay close attention to the film and you will hear that much of the movie, not just Klinton's voice, was dubbed over.
Producers will absolutely lie and pass the blame in a second.
Loved this film when I was a kid..the John Barry Score is awesome. Wish we could hear Klinton Spilsburys orginal voice. It would be awesome if they ever make a dvd to have a no narration option cuz it sort of is embarrasing now. The only thing I don't like about the movie now is that its too dark. And Awesome Video!!!!
