Version of The Legend of the Lone Ranger (1981)

The horse was the best actor in it!

This movie was bad even for a made for tv flick. And what's worse it looked like a series pilot, not a one shot deal. The plot was insipid, the acting vapid, and the setting total fantasy. Tonto is a kung fu fighter. The lone ranger is an androgynous pretty boy. The Apaches are all ethics professors not warriors, and they are dressed and live like generic hollywood plains Indians, not people from the southwest. Wes Studi who I love, seemed to be reprising his role from Mystery Men. Basically a bunch of pretty people running around spouting new age platitudes and morality in a totally unbelievable story.
