Okay, here's the next Val Kilmer movie you may not have heard of either, it came out in the big year of 1992. It's called Thunderheart


Thunderheart is based on real events during the debacles of Wounded Knee in the 70s



Val Kilmer & the late great Sam Shepherd are FBI agents investigating murders on the Reservation.

Kilmer is assigned because he has Native American blood.

Such a shame how Shepherd seems to be almost forgotten by today's modern day & age


Real life Canadian Indian Graham Greene plays a cop. He's really good, arguably his best role & performance.

He & Kilmer have great chemistry together.
The late great Fred Ward is the law enforcer

Real life politician, late great Fred Dalton Thomson appears briefly in a really good scene with Kilmer. To think, Thompson was going up against Obama in the first election but due to getting sick, he had to pull out


Sheila Tousey appears.

Ted Thin Elk is really incredible here. From The IMDB: "A Sicangu Lakota (Sioux) who spent most of his life on the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation in South Dakota, Ted Thin Elk saw very few movies in his lifetime, and was 72 when he got his first role as "Grandpa Samuel Reaches" in the film Thunderheart (1992). Contrary to his bad boy reputation, Val Kilmer treated the septuagenarian first-time actor with deference and helped him with his scenes in front of the camera. When the camera wasn't rolling, the two could be found discussing Native American Topics in general and Lakota ones in particular".

Here's the great Trailer.
Now, the music is wonderful. It was by the late great James Horner (2 years later he would do Braveheart). It's such powerful music and makes the movie so grand. In some parts, it sounds a lot like Willow because he uses some of the same sound & technique he did for that epic adventure

1993 was a big year for Val Kilmer movies as he was in three of em, one id coming next
