i remember this bomb come out in the early 80 . at first it sound like a great idea . a retelling of an american classic with the help of modern movie technique of the day . there be a bit a of a back lash over the treatment of the original lone ranger and clayton moore . the movie studio have threaten legal action if moore continue portray him self a the real lone ranger . ( moore be perform at child hospital a the lone ranger for sick kid . ) to many american clayton moore be just that the while the one and only lone ranger . i have always felt that the studio could have do justice to both the fan and legacy of the lone ranger if moore have be treat well . maybe even a cameo in the new movie . how ever this be not the case and and many of the view public stay away in drove . also the story and act be weak . all this add up to a big box office bomb and and rightly so . i personally i be glad the studio lose big money after the way the real lone ranger be treat . you do not treat an american icon that way .
