MYSTIC WARRIOR EXTRA !
I was an extra in this movie and have only seen it once, back in 84' Mystic Warrior was the only movie I've ever been in. It was a great experience on the set and I met a lot of great people and up and coming actors (James Remar, Will Sampson, Apollonia and Branscombe Richmond) I wish, I could obtain a copy of this movie to pass on to my children and grandchildren and say' "Hey check out the movie dad / grandpa was in when he was young" If only the Great Spirit would bless us, with a reissue of this movie on DVD, it would be greatly appreciated by viewers young and old.

great film
1 saw this aired on the BBC. in England ,outstandingly beautiful film and close to the book, well before the dances with wolves, should have been released, would be really good in American history to balance the view of the first nations as noble savages or murdering barbarians, really good to understand an alternative viewpoint. The portrayal of the culture and spirituality was a breathe of fresh air. Would like to see it out on DVD. the cgi was really sympathetic to the process of vision questing and not at all over the top. Does anyone know if there is a DVD out there? It was good to see native American actors but more would have been even better. the film i thought flowed easily.
This movie has always been my favorite.
I recorded this movie on the western channeL and have saved it all these years always fascinated by it. My maternal grandmother was a Cherokee Indian.I also like Windwalker as it only deals in Indian Lore and mysticism.The writer's had to do a lot of background work i production. My wife is from South Dakota, near the Black Hills and grew up with many Sioux Indiansin the 1940's and 50's. Where they found so many buffalo has always amazed me. Also never knew there was so many sub tribes within the Sioux family's Dancing With Wolves is entertaining and Hollywood's impact in it deterred from it's originality, and it does not compare with my 2 choices.

A movie people remember for almost 30 years and want it back.
When I watched Mystic Warrior almost 30 years ago, I recorded it on a Beta VCR. Later on I transferred it to a VHS. My tape is scratched and my VCR is in the basement somewhere along with my precious tapes.
As I was reading the reviews here I noticed they were written over the years...back in the 90's, early 2000's and now 2013. That should tell those that matter that the movie, or I should say, the story has stayed in the hearts and minds of the people who saw it. I have looked on every internet source I could think of with no luck.
So whose email box do we need to fill or whose mailbox do we need to send letters? We need to get our wishes to the right person.
Thank you for reading.

I thought this was good!
I wanted to watch this for Branscombe and I was pleased by
Robert Beltran's role also as well as Rion Hunter. Good storyline...some of the effects were a little hokey but I liked the details.
