- GONE TO TEXAS (DVD MOVIE)
Sam Elliott is Texas Revolutionary Sam Houston in this sweeping epic of warring nations, patriotic pride, and the adventure and danger of the untamed West. After resigning as Tennessee Governor amid scandal and disgrace, Houston lived among the Cherokee before learning that war was inevitable for Texas to become an independent state. An American hero of the West, Sam Houston led the fight for Texas’ independence–this is the story of a courageous man and, in the name of freedom, the battle he waged for a million acres of land.

Badly filmed, badly written, and the editing was beyond bad. Sam Elliot should be ashamed of himself for getting involved with this turkey. Do yourself a big favor pass on this one.

I did not particularly liked the movie. I think it was done on the cheap, too full of cliches,macho posturing, and as usual depicted the foes of Bowie, Crockett, and other defenders of the Alamo as unconscionable, mean people, misstatements, and with omissions of truths. I personally do not recommend the movie to anyone.

I was excited when this DVD arrived today, however, as I sat and watched it my excitement quickly disappeared. It was very obvious that this film had a low budget, the acting (apart from Sam Elliott) was pathetic, and the editing, along with the effects demonstrate that the makers of this film could not really be bothered. A waste of money and since the Australian exchange rate is poor, the waste for me was even more so! Very disappointed!

I was in this movie as an extra (I played the Violin at Sam Houston’s wedding). There were two Texas Historians on the set that could stop the filming at anytime and change what was said or done for accuracy. One was a non academic but knowledgeable historian and another was an academic type.
When Sam Elliot staggers over to me yelling for music I thought he was really drunk and was about to attack me. I’m an Ex Marine and not normally too worried about a fight. But I admit to be terrified when Sam came over. They had to stop the scene and start over.
