Will was a treasure. Check out his memorial video on youtube... Remembering Will Sonny Sampson Jr.

And he was a painter love seeing movies with him

like u said...

And thats one reason I liked will Sampson. I'm,only part native but. He gave me the courage. To just be me,, thanks. Will. ,,

@@duaneholcomb8408 Thank you for your comment Duane. Yaa'te'eh my friend!🦋

@@ginfrench3350 I'm part Cherokee. On my fathers side. I grew up near the eastern band of Cherokee. In north Carolina. Osio means hi. Or, Hello in Cherokee. However I never learned the language. Fluently myself. Thanks you.

@@duaneholcomb8408 Yaa'te'eh is the Navajo greeting for hello, but the true meaning is "everything on mother earth and in my life is good". I like to great people in that positive way by declaring my life is good and wishing everything good in the life of the person I am greeting. Wishing you everything good Duane. You may not remember but I am the girl that made the youtube memorial for Sonny, "Will Sampson". You and I have corresponded before over his video. You put a beautiful comment on the video that I appreciate very much. 🦋Ginny🦋🤗🦋

@@ginfrench3350 I never I have met a Navajo. But I have met Muskogeon. People before. Yes we have talked before. And I thank you for those kind words. , 2 of my favorite actors is will Sampson. And Wes studi. I can only imagine if will had lived longer what movies he would have turned out. But we were graced with his presence. And that is all that really matters. In the end,,,

Wasn't Russel Means white?

​@@dirtyscoundrel2013no

I think he was a very sexy man.

sounds like the indian version of John Wayne. Good acting by Sampson

I agree 👍

Thanks for the info Gin, I will check it out. J Paul, I think that as long as it is in a positive view that it is great. I think it's ridiculous to get rid of sports teams mascots that depict Native Americans in a positive view. Has anyone pushing the removal of Native mascots asked the Native community to vote on this? No ! We would vote to keep them.

@@LisaRogerC Same as the military helicopters being named after native Americans. It's not intended to be negative. I think people are trying to separate us. People separated are weak.

@@TheBandit7613. Hello. It is the same old tactic that these new world order out of chaos manipulators use. These tactics go back 3000 years and more. Before the Roman Empire am sure. To fund, create and play both sides, and the manipulators gain more weaponry, wealth and knowledge from the players, and they take that from the destruction and go and play the next targets, resources, location. They always have the best weapons, laws, to give and support the player or side that they want to have.

@@TheBandit7613. Divide and conquer. And the master manipulators keep and gain more knowledge and weaponry to use against the next un exhausted target or county of interest.

@@theshepardthewolfandtheshe5304 And they're getting away with it.

I'm 20 years. Born 2001 and I love him!

Was he Juicy Fruit? Classic line!

Your funny contact a la agent

I'm I Fredericksburg VA

I dated his granddaughter, unfortunately she's a satanist and over all bad person.

What was the other 10%, moose? 🤨

@@ginfrench3350 thank you so much😃

What a great loss

Who?

Jim Calder I

he loved painting

+skip schnepp the bad guys never win.

Yes they do, if you ever watch Posse, Bruce Dern Kirk Douglas

Jim Calder him & Russell Means should've been credited much more in their role of Native Acting in the 70s. So lucky to have met him wish i could've lived in the 70s to meet Will Sampson he seemed like a real calm quiet man. He did good in One flew over ones cuckoo nest & this one & others. I live in Arizona always a joy to see the AZ Flag symbol patch on a state trooper. Look up on KZfaq "we are these People" its an excerpt where he talks of the greatness of the trees & living nature around & how much the Native in that time has lived to come to in ones life. Its beautiful

Yes. Special man.

Who is Will? Is that the person whom soldiers are told to shot at (Fire at Will.)?

Will is still alive. He faked his death to live a quiet life. He lives now In Butte (Montana). I had a drink with him about a month ago. Great guy. Still very sprightly for a 103 year old guy.

ERASING THE UIGOURS Bologny - Will (unfortunately) died a long time ago.

Annette, As a fan of Will Sampson you might be interested to know that there's a brand new video on youtube in memory of him that contains rare childhood photos as well as a variety of pictures that I hope will honor him. I made this video to commemorate the anniversary of his passing on June 3. Just Google Remembering Will Sonny Sampson Jr. if you'd like to check it out 😉. I hope people will think it does him justice 👍.

Have you ever googled Will Sampson movies to get a list of the films he's been in--- there's about 15 total, big screen and made for TV. I will recommend the Canadian film Fish Hawk as a must see where like Relentless Will plays the main character, and gives a stellar performance. He actually won The Canadian Film Award ( like an Oscar or an Emmy) for his role in the film. Perhaps you already know about all of this. Also, he did the 70's show Vegas with Robert Urick. I hope this has been a help. Happy movie watching!!🤗

Simple is a lot better

its a simple and entertaining production but to me it highlights how we all grew up on "woke" storytelling that some political types complain about constantly today

You Native?

Yes yes you are right. Dear lovely sister AmusedChild. It was a sweet way. To put it on. ;-) But that's right, so it is today.... :-(

Beautiful music with the movie. I loved his last words to the colonel. I’ve never seen anything with Will Sampson in it before. Thanks for making me aware of him. My name is Winona which in the Sioux Dakota means firstborn or eldest daughter. However, it was my x sister-in-law’s name. I guess my daddy just liked the name because that’s what he named me. I’m definitely not his firstborn daughter. He had three daughters by his first wife, before he married my mother and I came along. I had a niece who was nearly the same age as I was.

@@winonamassingill7895 You can google Will Sampson movies to get a list of all big screen and made for TV films Will was in. He was an amazing actor and gave stellar performances in each movie he did. However One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest was his very first and very famous film in which many people feel he was the essential character! You really should see that one!!! Also, there is another great movie (where he plays the leading role), that is now being shown on youtube for free titled Fish Hawk. I've seen every one of Will's 23 films and I feel Fish Hawk was his best. He did win The Canadian Film Award for his performance in it, which is the Canada version of an Oscar. I know you will enjoy everything Will is in!!👍👍👍👍

A rare movie starring a native American, show casing his talent in an entertaining way, thanks for the upload.👍👀

You were never a officer... ....a officer is a military term... Not for uneducated moron meth head corn poms....

You were never a officer...a yo yo ...

The internet is the new bible . People think , if it's on the internet , it has to be true. They choose to believe what they want and disregard the rest. It is dividing the American people , right down the middle. Your internet,,,,,, , has been "WEAPONIZED".

AMEN!

@@Bobby007D ..pfffffftttt, Not many ppl think everything on the web is true at all, thats absurd.

@Lewis Pusey Exactly, lol .

@@Bobby007D people have always thought that way, always divided, the total inter connection thing has just sped up the communications of the negative emotions and it allows one to see things that they could not have seen as quickly before the speed of light internet.

He is up there with Chief Dan George

And Jay Silverheels

@@johnhill369 if you Google what defines an Adventure film you will see that this movie fits in the definition of " Adventure film. " Also if you Google, What does it mean when a person is " Pedantic?" This may be Helpful to you. Best Wishes! M.H.

Hi buddy

Absolutely.

Always thought he had the most seductive voice.

@@infonut very true. A slight drawl in a very educated voice. Very sensual

Though many think John Hillerman was British from watching "Magnum P. I." , he was born in Texas !.

@@ginfrench3350 Thanks for the info and i will definitely check that video out. It's nice of you to make a tribute video of Will Sampson, what a great way to honor this amazing and talented man that has been taken from us way too soon.

Damn child you make me feel old!

You remember Higgy Baby too from MAGNUM P.I. I say Magnum!

Great review very professional

My Father is dead. He and two of his brothers were active soldiers in WW II and the only reason they went into service was to earn money to keep their mothers land. Nothing patriotic about it. All three suffered from PTSD and turned to alcoholism, abuse, fighting, infidelity, and other dysfunctions. Never one penny of help from Uncle Sam.

@@gmanjordan4154 And you're buttsore because of the choices they made or that's just the way the world is and you're going with it?

should be a lot more like it. It's the best way I know for Hollywood to get back to the REAL quality movies which were once made. Personally, I'd rather watch almost any movie made prior to the 80's.

I gotta brand new pair of shoes if you got the bed

Lol

He did......

Neat.

I knew Will "Sonny" personally-- he was a kind, generous, loving soul. I'm glad to see other people who know first hand what a great person he was!👍🤗

@thomas Prior I'm blessed, yes, thanks so much, sir...

British that's just unacceptable LOL Kidding

Might be some German and Spanish in there as well.

Shame on you fer marrien' the enemy. Tioch faid ar la! I'm Eireanann and Cherokee. Ahhhhhh well my cousin married a damn Yankee.

My brother is a cherokee and my sister is a Sioux. My mother was promiscous that's why I'm half Aztec, half German.

Yes, Fish Hawk is good. There is a youtuber named Jerry Skinner, he does bio's about actors and famous people, they run 15 minutes or so, he does one on Will Sampson. He has a lot of good info in it, you should give it a watch if you get a few minutes to spare.

Wonder if Will was another "victim" of Poltergeist. Ugh So many of the cast had untimely deaths. Very strange IMO.

Not to mention One Flew Over the Cukoo,s Nest

Outlaw nosey wells

White Buffalo, Fish Hawk

And Anthony Ponzinni, Ted Markland & Marianna Hill too. Just good actors, realy.

still is in the way out areas

If you haven't seen Fish Hawk with Will Sampson that's another great TV movie

@@joespitler3929 He also was excellent in "Relentless diarrhea"

@@ginfrench3350 thank you, I will check it out

It gave Mr. Wilcox, great training for working with Mr. Eric Estrada, on "CHiPs".

Watched chips as a kid old episodes of that would be great

@@darinmckillop5044 Do you get the "Charge" network? Where I live it's a digital substation and can be picked up for free over the air. They run old CHiPs episodes every weekday afternoon.

Will could do/say more with his expressions and his eyes than about any other actor I've seen. He will be missed!

Sweelen Simpson Agreed, he had recognition. Would have had more if he had lived longer. RIP

@Takeshi hiraoka, Sonny (Will Sampson) was in over 15 films in his 12 year acting career before his passing in 1987, but the best picture he ever made, where he played the lead character was the Canadian film. "Fish Hawk", for which he won The Canadian Film Award for his stellar performance. That award was equal to winning an Oscar. Many people feel it was his best film, as he also felt that way. He liked how deep and complex his character Fish Hawk was, and how he overcame the demons in his life and found his own honorable truth. You may have already seen Fish Hawk, but if not you can watch it on youtube for free. It's worth your time!! You can also google Will Sampson paintings to look at some of Sonny's artwork. He was an award winning artist all of his life and would always say he made movies to pay for his art supplies. Most of his paintings are now with family and loved ones, or hanging in famous museums such as The Smithsonian Museum of Art. Yaa'te'eh my friend.👍
