Don't know if you all have seen this but a new Lone Ranger movie is due out this summer. Looks interesting and Johnny Depp is Tanto. Watched a trailer last night at the movies looks like a go for me.

Yes, only Jay Silverheels will ever be Tonto for me.

If you ever see, "Captain From Castile", made about 1947 and starring Tyrone Power, look for Silverheels playing an Aztec. I think he was actually a Chippewa or Cree.

I'm not too thilled with the idea of Johnny Depp playing any role, let alone this one. Who's playing the Lone Ranger, Ryan Seecrest? Mario Lopez?
 
Supposedly no one really knew what clayton moore looked like. He never took his mask off. Years ago I was watching a old gangster movie and reconised his voice. I checked the credits and sure enough, it was him. Probley when he was first starting out.
 
It just seems to me that if you take a big-name star, and give him a supporting role, unless the STAR of the show is a huge-name star, this will not be "THE LONE RANGER and Tonto", but will be "TONTO and the masked man".
 
In the new movie Tonto is wearing a bird on his head. Is this supposed to be a comedy?

Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels...the rest are cheap imitations.

He was also a heavy in the Commando Cody serial "Radar Men From The Moon" (1952). Would never have recognized him except for that most distinctive voice.

Clayton Moore was also in "Davy Crockett, Indian Scout" starring Jon Hall and Dana Andrews
 
You know, I've been looking for a new ringtone for my cell phone. That theme song gives me an idea....

Remember Jon Hall as, "Ramar of the Jungle"? One of my favorite TV shows as a kid.

He had what appeared to be a Mannlicher-Schoenauer carbine. Sidearm was a Colt, either an Official Police or New Service.

Back then, many TV heroes had guns. In recent times, I think only, "The Lost World" had armed heroes who weren't cops or soldiers. And it was set in the 1920's.

I know someone that will sharpen it. ;)

Oh, no! Not me!

It took me over six weeks to get all of the xiphos' and dorys ready for the movie '300.' That bronze took hours to scrub out of my waterstones and then Zack Synder stiffed me on the gratuity!
 
Get 'um up Scout! The Lone Ranger forever.
