Editorial Review:
Product Description:
He s taking the law and a gun into his own hands. Richard Harris (who played English Bob in Unforgiven and Albus Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter films) brings bullet-hard ferocity to these tales of vengeance. He s a pacifist turned manhunter in The Deadly Trackers [Side A], aiming to settle a score with the killers of his wife and son. In Man in the Wilderness [Side B], Harris tackles a signature survivalist role reminiscent of his heroics in A Man Called Horse. He portrays Zachary Bass, given up for dead and fighting man and nature during his 600-mile Northwest Territory trek to avenge himself against the fellow trappers who abandoned him. Beware, two-faced friends. Bass is alive...and closing ground.

Rating:  - Man in the Wilderness
Man in the Wilderness is a neglected and underrated film, only now released, and little short of a masterpiece. Beautiful cinematography and good direction are at its center. Superb meditative images lead one into the thoughts of a trapper critically wounded by a bear and abandoned by the trapping company he was a part of. Flashbacks acquaint us with the trapper's youth and young manhood, and frame and complement his actions in the story's present. If it has a fault it would be the ending, which ... Read More
Rating:  - wish I could get a refund and give this minus-5 stars
I wasted my money on a fictional work that claims to be factual. It opens with grossly incorrect information: "The year is 1820. The Captain Henry Expedition has completed two years of fur trapping in the unexplored Northwest region." (Then it displays that the expedition is heading back east, etc. I need not address that.) "What occurred on this expedition is historically true."
The statements above are preposterous and thus they are not "historically true." Why are they not ... Read More
Rating:  - AN ABSOLUTE WESTERN CLASSIC
I recall the first time I ever saw MAN IN THE WILDERNESS. I had stayed up late to watch the weekly feature on the local station's weekly Western. And there it was, MAN IN THE WILDERNESS, a tale about a mountain man who is left for dead after a brutal grizzly mauling and not only lives to carry on but finds his real life in the process.
First, throw away any misconceptions that this is a historical account. Yes, there are fictionalizations of historical characters. Zach Bass, himself, is ... Read More
Rating: - IS IT BASS? WELL.....IS IT BASS !!??
"MAN IN THE WILDERNESS" has always been a personal favorite of mine since its release back in 1971. Historical inaccuracies aside, this is a story about a man who is left for dead in the northwest territory, but...more than that, it is the story of man lost inside himself. In his fight to survive he learns a little more about the hard cruel world around him and comes to appreciate that he is not the only human being to have suffered. His near death experience becomes (in the end) a sort of rebirth...a ... Read More
Rating:  - Double feature
DEADLY TRACKERS is a violent tale of revenge as Richard Harris pursues Rod Taylor and his band of killers after a botched bank robbery results in the death of his wife and son. Taylor is fine as a really bad guy and in a small part, B-Movie Legend William Smith as one of his men, "School-Boy" -- a violent semi-retard with one side of his face scarred and a drooping eye who kills a man with a knife to take his bowler. They just don't make appealing characters like anymore! Unfortunately, the Billster is ... Read More
