"He is the Shaman, the Medicine Man and his power is awesome!" - sadly this movie isn't magical
4 March 2023
Michael (Jan Michael Vincent, perhaps best know for appearing in the TV series "Airwolf"), who is part Native American, receives an unexpected visit from his grandfather Old Man Hawk (Chief Dan George), who is a Shaman and asks that he return to the Reservation 300 miles away. Along with a female news reporter the three embark on the road trip, encountering evil forces along the way. Shot in Canada the wilderness scenery around Vancouver is stunning, unfortunately this is offset with giggles of laughter when Mike can be seen wrestling with what is obviously a man in a bear suit! A good stunt scene sees the three crossing a high rope bridge that starts to sway violently and fall apart but JMV's stuntman stand in is obvious. There are plenty of supernatural shenanigans going on but it just looks like an average made for TV movie. Mike works in computing and it was interesting see see those huge and ancient looking IBM plus having Chief Dan George in the cast was cool but overall this little known adventure/horror flick failed to impress.
