Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRalph Waite and Will Geer refused to appear in The Warrior (1977) unless an actual Native American was cast in the role of the grandfather. Jerado Decordovier was eventually cast as he was the only Native-American who auditioned who was old enough to play the character. Although he had worked in films for 24 years, most of that experience was as an extra in non-speaking roles; his inexperience caused multiple retakes and delays in filming.
- GoofsJim Bob's car needs to be cranked to start. Here, he and Elizabeth get in it and start it up and go without cranking it.
- Quotes
Narrator: [a narration that John Boy Walton, Jr. is reading, from his journal] Most of us tend to be convinced of the rightness of our heritage, our traditions, our way of life, until some event happens that shakes our deepest beliefs to their foundations. On a day in 1939, two strangers came to our mountain. As a consequence of their visit we were to learn that others had roots there which reached deeper than our own.
