Actually, one of the characters makes a comment to that
effect, saying
something like "You're lucky it's not Apaches. They'd just
gang up on ya
and kill ya..." I'm just sorry them durn redskins in JEREMIAH
JOHNSON
weren't bloodthirsty enough varmints for ya, and that the
acts of murdering
women and children and torturing folks just weren't ignoble
enough, and
that, as the disclaimer states, "No livers were consumed in
the making of
this film." Maybe the new videogame will be more to your
liking...
Funny, I figured someone might argue the film was biased;
that it painted
an unflattering portrait of natives, or even that the
violence was glossed
over (which, in fact, it was), but not that it was too
politically correct.
I guess it goes to show you never can tell....

Yeah, it's quiet out there....almost too quiet....
