'The Time Guardian'
Directors: Brian Hannant and Andrew Prowse
Lead 1986 Hemdale Film Corporation
Feature
An attempt at a science fiction special effects movie, but without the necessary budget. Although there are some good moments, the film suffers from script problems and poor direction. Even the presence of Carrie Fisher and Dean Stockwell didn't help much.
As Ballard, the Time Guardian.  

'The Man from Snowy River II'
Director: Geoff Burrowes
AKA 'Return to Snowy River Part II'
Title Role 1987 Snowy II Productions
Feature
The sequel was made six years after the original. The Producer of the first film decided to direct the second despite having no experience in this field. The replacement of Kirk Douglas with Brian Dennehy was never really credible. The film was distributed by Disney in the US, who gave it the ridiculous title 'Return to Snowy River Part I I - The Legend Continues' - I always thought 'The Return of the Man from Snowy River' would have been better. When in the script the stallion was given the ability to make moral judgements and decisions, I thought we were in real trouble. Despite all this there are some truly great action sequences and the film is popular, largely I think, by association with the original.
'The Legend of Kootenai Brown'
Director: Alan Kroaker
AKA 'Showdown at Williams Creek'
Lead 1990 Kootenai Productions
Cable Feature
A Canadian feature similar to 'Dances with Wolves' but without the budget. The journey of the character was quite a challenge for me as an actor. Co-stars Raymond Burr and Donnelly Rhodes.

Republic pictures bought the film for video distribution in the US and (not surprisingly) re-titled it 'Showdown at Williams Creek'.

As John 'Kootenai' Brown
