I knew Will, "Sonny" Sampson, and his set rule was to only take on respectable roles that would make Native Americans proud. After his big break out in "Cuckoo's Nest", Sonny was in such demand, he was offered countless movies, paying big bucks. However, Sonny always said "he couldn't be bought", by Hollywood or anyone, to act in any movie that compromised his values or his integrity!! Sonny always tried to be a role model for his people, and all people.

@@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,,,
Any movie with Will Sampson, Wes Studi, Adam Beech, Chief Dan George, Graham Greene, or Russell Means are always worth a look. So much talent in the NA community and so few roles. I remember when Will passed away and I was crushed by his death. He truly was a kind spirit, humorous and giving. He reminds me of my relatives on and off the Rez. The men are huge and of few words while the women tend to be petite and social. The world always felt safer when you were around them.
Don’t think you could make a film like this today. There’s an honesty and a truth to this film and the time it was made. Mr William Samson always does justice to the roles he plays. Thanks
I loved watching Will Sampson as a kid. Reminds me a lot of my grandpa. He was 90% Native. I remember the stories he shared with me the last two years of his life.
Have always greatly enjoyed everything I saw Will Sampson in. He could do more with a stare or look than many actors can do with their whole body! Upright, implacable, i.e., RELENTLESS. All without screaming abuse & foul language. Excellent! Wish there was a whole lot more of his work to see.
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!!🤗
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.

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 RUclips "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
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.
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 👍.
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
The extraordinary Will Sampson who amazed us in this Relentless movie!!! one of the first NA to ever bring alive mixed-native holywood movies!!!!! such a legend ♥️♥️♥️♥️ absoloutley gorgeous man forever!!!. I am from the UK but a native Lapp Sami woman who loves Native Indian americans, I share a very similar history.
Wow. A gentle giant, extraordinary man. I am searching for all of his movies, what I have found are inspiring. Another life taken way too soon. Just a look at his eyes speaks volumes.

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!!👍👍👍👍
This is a very very good movie. It's got me hooked. Will Sampson plays his part with dignity and makes this part most suspenseful. Everything the FBI guy, Monte Markham, needs to listen to him and take his lead. But Sam stands his ground. Now I've seen Monte Markham in many series haven't seen him around in a long time. It's a darn good movie with darn good acting
Fantastic movie! I grew up during the mid-seventies and eighties, so a lot of the actors in this film are familiar to me. Will Sampson's character is relatable and very admirable. I enjoyed Larry Wilcox's performance as well. The interactions of his character with Sampson's go a long way to developing our understanding of "Sam's" leadership qualities, depth of loyalty to others, and his devotion to duty. As a kid, I was a fan of the work Wilcox did with Erik Estrada on the police drama CHiPs. Two thumbs up, especially for the great Will Sampson!
Thank you for this movie. What a beautiful man I realise these days how affected I was by this type of male portrayal in my childhood. ... searching for one just like him, my entire life The spiritual, honourable man.
An enjoyable film. I always liked Will, RIP. As an experienced outdoor person, I never understand how these guys never carry water, whilst out in the hills. No matter how cold, I still need water whilst walking over hills and valleys.
@@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.
I was in high school in Camp Verde when this movie was filmed. The cast was fun and very nice. Didn't meet Monte Marcum or John Hllerman, but Larry Wilcox and Will Sampson were delightful. Much nicer than the cast of Kingdom of the Spiders when they filmed later on that year.

Been looking for this for ages , Will Sampson was my hero , seeing another Indian on screen was amazing , this was when we were referred to as “American Indians”. … for the life of me I can’t remember when “Native American” was first used , but this is back when we were Indians , and seeing another Indian on tv , and actually the hero / leading man was mind blowing …. RIP WILL SAMPSON ahhh juicy fruit
I fell in love with Mr. Sampson watching this movie. I sensed he was the same kind man in real life. Glad I was right. He had a beautiful face I will never forget. He left us too soon. ❤️😭
Am Scottish but back in the 1800s one of our clan Chisholm married a native Cherokee so am proud of the Native Americans, Scots had a bad time with the English for hundreds of years, we are still proud of who we are
even though i remember the chief from other movies back then, this was my first experience with this excellent & enjoyable production when film was an art. thanks
Thank you so much for bringing this movie to us. This movie was outstanding and moved us. Don't even know how to tell you how much I appreciate it this movie. Outstanding!
Wow, this was filmed in 1977 same year I was born. Unfortunately Will Sampson died ten years later in 1987, he was only 53, he was an excellent actor. RIP Mr Sampson.
@@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.
I had been looking for this movie for years now. Saw a glimpse of it on tv (in India ) for abt 10 mins many years ago but could not forget it and didnt even know the name of the movie or the actor. Now I found it. :-) Just remembered Sams face. Google searched Native AmericanIndian actors and found him.
Excellent movie. Great actors. Never have actors such as these guys they were the best sadly missed. Love snows they played in and movies too. Vegas one flew over the coocos nest Magnum and chips.
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.
@@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.
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.
Never saw this one before. Recognized Will Sampson in the thumb nail. Figured anything with him in it, it's a good movie. Great actor, with other great ones, John Hillerman, Larry Wilcox...
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.
Great upload, thumbs up! Will Sampson has been in many awesome movies. His biggest was probably One Flew Over The Cookoos Nest with Jack Nicholson. He starred opposite Clint Eastwood in Outlaw Josey Wales. He was also a screen writer, producer and director. His is a distinguished career in films. Another good one was The White Buffalo.
Good film. Takes its time getting started, but once it gets going its good. Will was in a lot of films, always in a brief role, but he is a good actor. Pity he never got any recognition. Thank you for posting
@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.👍
Thanks for the upload, 41 years later I get to watch it. Relentless aired as a double feature with the pilot movie Spider-Man on CBS 9/14/1977. I missed it because NBC aired " Night of the Heavyweights " boxing card which had Ken Norton, Jimmy Young, Ron Lyle & Larry Holmes all on one card, noway I was to miss those fights.
Now here is a movie that will keep you wondering what is going to happen next. Lots of action. You will be on the edge of your seat. A really enjoyable movie.

Wow, this was filmed in 1977 same year I was born. Unfortunately Will Sampson died ten years later in 1987, he was only 53, he was an excellent actor.
RIP Mr Sampson.

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!
I had been looking for this movie for years now. Saw a glimpse of it on tv (in India ) for abt 10 mins many years ago but could not forget it and didnt even know the name of the movie or the actor. Now I found it. :-) Just remembered Sams face. Google searched Native AmericanIndian actors and found him.
Excellent movie. Great actors. Never have actors such as these guys they were the best sadly missed. Love snows they played in and movies too. Vegas one flew over the coocos nest Magnum and chips.
As a friend of mine used to say, "he can put his shoes underneath my bed any day." Handsome man, lovely smile, excellent actor. He is missed.
I gotta brand new pair of shoes if you got the bed
Lol
He did......
I miss these days, Life was a little slower in these way out areas.
still is in the way out areas
Great movie . . . Thank you . Will Sampson , one of the best .
How did I ever miss this one??? Great movie.. Old Higgins plays a "good" bad guy.
You remember Higgy Baby too from MAGNUM P.I. I say Magnum!
Great movie. Always loved Will Sampson. Another one of his best movies is a film called Fish Hawk.
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.
This is the first movie I've seen Larry Wilcox acting other than chips. Larry Wilcox played officer John Baker.
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.
Loved Will Sampson in Vegas and Poltergeist 2, John Hillerman in Magnum P.I., Larry Wilcox in CHiPs. Very good and talented actors. ;-)
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.
Great movie---and not even any swearing or nudity!!!
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.
Classic old movie AAAAAA+++++++thanks for upload cheers
Great movie...great star....this could have easily been an awesome TV series...
Never saw this one before. Recognized Will Sampson in the thumb nail. Figured anything with him in it, it's a good movie. Great actor, with other great ones, John Hillerman, Larry Wilcox...
RIP John Hillerman, a great life well lived 🇺🇸✝🙏
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 !.
A perfect movie with a great actor 🤜🏿
Wish they still made movies like this. Great! 🇺🇸💪👍
A great movie......takes you right back into the time frame. The music keeps you focussed. Wish i could turn the clock back......
He's one of the finest Native American actors of all time, I'm half Cherokee and half Irish myself, and my husband is British. ~♡PEACE♡~
@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.
Excellent. No one could ever try a remake. 1977, a long tíme agó. Just enjoyable.
This is a great nation, and most Indians are very patriotic.
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?
Great upload, thumbs up! Will Sampson has been in many awesome movies. His biggest was probably One Flew Over The Cookoos Nest with Jack Nicholson. He starred opposite Clint Eastwood in Outlaw Josey Wales. He was also a screen writer, producer and director. His is a distinguished career in films. Another good one was The White Buffalo.
Good film. Takes its time getting started, but once it gets going its good. Will was in a lot of films, always in a brief role, but he is a good actor. Pity he never got any recognition. Thank you for posting
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.👍
What a fabulous looking man Will Sampson was.
Have not seen this before, but loved every minute of it. Thank you…
@@ginfrench3350 thank you, I will check it out
Damnation, what a great movie. An assemblage of some of the greatest tv actors ever. I can find no fault in this movie. A definite 10.
Thank You for uploading this.
Wonderful and much appreciated by an old man. Please keep these coming Tudorhead
"Another indian uprising.." The calm and polite way the deputy said that regarding the little kid was clever.
This was such a good movie, I'd recommend it to anyone, wow
Thank you for posting this, excellent movie!
Outstanding film, with another superb performance by the great and beautiful Will Sampson...I miss him! Thank you!
I just love these old movies, there the best ❤. Never get tired of watching them
Very good movie and plot. I am surprised because most movies of this era (1977) were very superficial.
" Ten Bears, Blood Brother to Josey Whales." RIP
Great movie
He finally said it. "I Love You Lisa". HOO-RAH!!
I like the fact that the hero is a Native American and one who is an authority figure as well.
20mins in and I'm hooked!
Thanks for the upload, 41 years later I get to watch it. Relentless aired as a double feature with the pilot movie Spider-Man on CBS 9/14/1977. I missed it because NBC aired " Night of the Heavyweights " boxing card which had Ken Norton, Jimmy Young, Ron Lyle & Larry Holmes all on one card, noway I was to miss those fights.
Larry Holmes was the man as well Ken Norton!
@@BarnabyBarry Yes Larry had one the best jabs, Norton powerful bodypuncher.
Very Good movie, Will was a good actor,......
This was one I’ve never heard of before. Loved it. Thanks for sharing!
If you haven't seen Fish Hawk with Will Sampson that's another great TV movie
@@joespitler3929 He also was excellent in "Relentless diarrhea"
A great man in a great movie!!
Now here is a movie that will keep you wondering what is going to happen next.
Lots of action. You will be on the edge of your seat.
A really enjoyable movie.
Great watch, I clicked because of Will/Sonny and was surprised to see Higgins and Steve Austin. John, Australia.
@@ginfrench3350 Thanks, I will check it out!
Cheers from John.
Pretty good movie.
Great character. Loved Will Samson.
Really good, thanks for posting.
Absolutely love Will Sampson. Plus John from CHiPs
Many thanks for an excellent and exciting movie!!!!!
