TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The autobiography "Grey Owl and Me" by Canadian environmentalist Hap Wilson devotes a chapter to the author's time working on this film. Wilson served as Pierce Brosnan's personal skills trainer.

The film takes place from 1934 to 1936.

The movie was never given a theatrical release in the United States, though it managed to get one in Canada. It also wasn't released in the UK until late 2000, a year after the film's premiere.

During a press conference, an unsuspecting Pierce Brosnan was serenaded by Tom Green, who was filming a segment for The Tom Green Show (2002). Brosnan, who assumed Green was a journalist, advised him not to 'give up his day job'.

Pierce Brosnan also played the role of Grey Owl in one of Canada's, Canadian Heritage Minutes.

Popular Dialogues

"Pow Wow Chief: Men become what they dream... you have dreamed well. [1:37:30]"

"[last lines] Cyrus Finney: He never spoke in public again. That night, when we watched Archie strip away all pretense of being an Indian; I knew that what he was saying was far more important than who he really was. Afterwards, he slipped silently into the night and went back to his remote cabin on Lake Ajawaan. He died there, suddenly, of pneumonia, two years later, in April, 1938. In recognition of what Archie was trying to achieve, the North Bay Nugget agreed to hold my story while he lived. They ran it the day after he died, and it made front page all over the world. Pony never stopped campaigning against trapping and, slowly, because of what she and Archie did, there were laws passed to protect the beaver, and they returned to the lakes and streams of Canada. But once his true identity was revealed, Archie's early warning about the natural world, about keeping it safe for future generations was quickly dismissed and then... conveniently forgotten. Only many years later, when the truth could no longer be ignored, did he come to be seen... as a man ahead of his time."
