Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe low ratings this mini-series garnered during its initial 1991 broadcast had ABC executives re-think and eventually pull the plug on the Civil War epic "The Killer Angels", which they planned to produce and air. This decision led to Ted Turner picking up the project, renaming it Gettysburg (1993), and releasing it in theaters.
- GoofsIn private conversations with President Grant, Phil Sheridan calls him by his first name Ulysses. In fact, Grant disliked this name and his close associates usually addressed him by the nickname of Sam.
- Quotes
Ulysses S. Grant: [Grant shows Red Cloud a map of the Black Hills] This is your land.
Sioux Interpreter: [Red Cloud observes the map, then speaks to the interpreter, who translates to Grant] He says, why these lines?
Ulysses S. Grant: Boundaries, where the land ends.
Sioux Interpreter: [Interpreter translates to Red Cloud, who replies to him] It is lies.
Red Cloud: [Grant, outraged by his response, stands to his feet. Red Cloud also does the same and mutters a word of English] Lies.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Legends of the West (1992)
One story said that the Last Stand battle itself took about as much time as it takes for someone to eat lunch.
"Son of the Morning Star" is the best movie version yet of the battle. At least it looks like the Greasy Grass plains of Montana and not in the desert area of Monument Valley!!! Custer was not fighting southwest Indians like the Apaches either (see earlier film versions) So at least this film attempts to be accurate in some ways.
Is Oliver Stone going to make his version or is that a tossed script?
Where is the DVD?!!!!!! My VCR broke and I don't plan on replacing it. This movie I can watch numerous times, so again, WHERE IS THE DVD???!!!!
