Not throwing water on your bomb fire, he is Crow & a lover of heavy metal too though most of us just say Metal. I have seen many films by Johnny Depp like The Astronaut's Wife, From Hell, The Ninth gate & the humorous Cry baby from way back. The Brave stuck right in there strait to the heart, I am sure there are many more movies to come, not really into the new movie The Lone Ranger, but I am sure many will, I will get see many more of Johnny Depp's films to come, yata hay - @Sunday, July 28, 2013 7:05 PM

This is an old Johnny Depp film that he directed many years ago...i am currently watching it and thought it was strange that he plays an american indian in this film and a bad guy says to him " i guess we will see you in the movies Tonto"....and Johnny is currently acting as Tonto in the lone ranger?? um...mmm...does he weirdly plan everything? - @Friday, July 20, 2012 1:22 PM

@Jrende730 Yes that's true. But unless you are a time traveler, the seat of Cherokee government is in Tahlequah now, has been for over 100 years, and there are plenty of full blood Cherokee here. "Tahlequah has the distinction of being the capital of both the Cherokee Nation and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians." - @Thursday, July 7, 2011 10:20 PM

@esergone Tahlequa is not the "Cherokee Capital", There no indigenous Cherokees in any part of Oklahoma. The eastern states, such as GA, NC, SC, VA,KY, ect... ended up in OK on the horrific Trail of Tears. Osage Tribes are OK largest indigenous American Indians. - @Tuesday, June 7, 2011 5:48 AM

@JOSUE1987 He looks just like a Cherokee. Who says Cherokee have dark skin? Miss Keetoowah Cherokee last year was lighter than me. Source: I live in the Cherokee capital, Tahlequah OK - @Thursday, May 19, 2011 3:02 PM

@Siddhin and yet it amounts to nothing compared to your action. heritage is perspective, nothing more. A man descended from royalty can be a crook just as easily as a man descended from pirates could be a powerful businessman. In the end, your life is still a blank canvas, and the brush is still in your hand. so I guess I'll answer it, if you can't be proud of your heritage, what can you be proud of? Yourself. - @Tuesday, March 8, 2011 5:38 PM

@VejasHugas the judgement was so bad that johnny depp got angry and wouldnt realeased it in the us. - @Saturday, January 1, 2011 11:33 PM

@jamras80 Actually it is. See, even if he is part Native American, what I read is that he says his great-grandmother was part Cherokee. That would leave him with a small fraction of Native blood in him. Ergo, he cannot play a convincing Native American. - @Wednesday, December 29, 2010 5:08 AM

this is kind of a weird movie. don't get me wrong, i LOVE JD, but I think the guy is just a little too in touch and proud of his native american heritage. - @Saturday, March 1, 2008 12:11 AM

Well, the copy I have is strictly a bootleg vhs tape of not too hot quality, but definitely watchable. I found it on eBay several years ago. The movie is now over a decade old. (It was shown at Cannes in '97). I think I got this tape on EBay in 2000. They HAVE, however, since cracked down on piracy more,though. - @Thursday, October 25, 2007 8:04 PM

it's a bit strange that this movie isn't realeased in US for example, cause I live in Lithuania and I've seen this movie on TV last year! - @Tuesday, October 16, 2007 1:35 PM

It isn't even officially available in the U.S.. But it isn't that hard to find a Latin American import or bootleg online. I've seen it, and it's a very good film that borders on greatness. It is a crying shame that no one has ever released it in the U.S.. I also have the rare novel it's based on. It is also one of Brando's last film roles, and he is excellent. Depp should make an effort now that he's bigger than ever to get this film out. - @Sunday, September 2, 2007 5:07 PM
