First of all, most of it looks like Arizona, not Sioux prairie. No wonder there's no more buffalo. Making the tribe Apaches would be a start. Production value was tops, actors were tops and I won't give spoilers, but the man who wrote Big Red One shoulda been able to come up with a better plot. It's always nice to see Frank de Kova playing an Indian. They should have had Larry Storch Forrest Tucker in there too. I know fuller knows more history and a couple of Brian Keith speeches showed fuller was not as dumb as the script, but maybe ken berry could have added something to the story, too. The cast of thousands was something that would probably be CGI when they make the remake.
