Oregon Trail Scouts Audience Reviews

Protraph Lack of good storyline.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Mike-764 The film starts takes place before the series began telling the story of how Red met and became guardian of Little Beaver. Years back, Red led a wagon train of fur trappers into an Indian reservation, where an Indian agent, Bliss, is getting permission from Chief Running Fox to have the trappers hunt on the reservation. Hunter, a trapper himself, as well as outlaw, is also trying to get to hunt on Running Fox' land, and has an ace in the hole. It seems years ago he kidnapped Running Fox' grandson as a baby, and planned to exchange the future chief for the land. The baby, now grown as Little Beaver (who lives on the reservation unknown that he is the future chief) is the target of Hunter, who now needs to get the child to have something to hold against Running Fox. Red, Bear Trap, and the Duchess (who has just arrived west to bring Red back to Pennsylvania, to get him away from the untamed west) to stop Hunter and his gang from creating a war between the wagon train and Indians. Nice entry in the Ryder series, but far from the best, much of it because the lack of a big action sequence, settling for smaller fights. The Little Beaver origin story is good, also including the Duchess coming out west (as usual the interaction between Lynn and Wentworth is priceless). Some nice camera-work by Springsteen heightens the film. Rating, based on B westerns, 7.
