The Legend of Black Thunder Mountain The Legend of Cougar...

Buy This Item The Legend of Black Thunder Mountain The Legend of Cougar... by Goldenwest Releasing  Available from Amazon  $9.95  on 11-16-2008     I would recommend this film for adults and children alike. It has something of interest for all age groups. There is beautiful and awe inspiring Southwestern scenery, as the story takes place in the southwestern Arizona desert, on Navajo lands. There is a story as well, of two young boys who have lost their goat, and they think it has wandered into a canyon known as "Cougar Canyon" a place that is supposed to be haunted, according to Navajo legend. They must go in to find the goat, of course, and are beset by many dangerous mishaps before they successfully fulfill their mission. The real stars of this film, though, besides the beautiful scenery, is the superb photography of the desert wildlife in it's natural habitat. There is a battle between a badger and a cougar, or wildcat, as it is more commonly known, with a suprise ending. The close-ups of a diamondback rattle snake is awesome, and the narration is superb, also. This movie is reminiscent of the old Disney Nature Documentary series that used to come on television years ago, back in the 70's. I enjoyed it immensely, and I am a senior citizen, but I can see where it would appeal to children as well, as they are usually fascinated with wild creatures like rattle snakes, wild cats, black bears, etc. in their natural surroundings. It is actually very educational, especially to us city dwellers. I can't say enough good things about this film, you will just have to see it for yourself. Reader Reviews This movie is a good example of baiting animals for the purpose of a "good photo shot". Within the first 7 minutes you will witness an eagle snared to a bush supposedly having attacked a rabbit. A cougar is meanwhile stalking the eagle. As the cougar pounces the eagle struggles to fly away but is either tied to or won't let go of the obviously snared rabbit. The eagle is then killed by the cougar. Was an eagle (supposedly a young bald eagle?) sacrificed for this supposed family film? Obviously, wildlife filming has seen many advances since 1976. I would only recommend this film as a lesson in now outlawed animal cruelty.
