A rare sequel that can stand alone, 1983's <I>The Black Stallion Returns</I> is both a fun follow-up to the 1979 Carroll Ballard/Francis Ford Coppola film and a fine adventure in its own right. Kelly Reno returns as the now adolescent, deceptively ordinary Alec Ramsay, who stows away on a plane for Casablanca after the titular horse is kidnapped by Arabs. Getting him back pitches Alec into the middle of tribal rivalries and all sorts of complicated, dangerous intrigue. The cast includes Teri Garr, Vincent Spano, and Woody Strode, but the real star here may be cinematographer Carlo Di Palma, a veteran of several Woody Allen films and a master of color, light, and framing. Director Robert Dalva edited the previous film and happily executes countless ideas he appears to have stored up from his first stallion outing. But it's Reno's resourceful hero--his anti-Harry Potter normalcy--that finally takes hold of viewers. <I>--Tom Keogh</I>
Viewer Reviews
I had no idea this movie had even been made until I was looking over some titles of horse movies and came across it. Having read the book to my daughter (one of her favorites of the Black Stallion series) I knew I had to get it. While it isn't as good as the original Black Stallion, it is interesting and exciting enough to keep your attention. It does differ a bit from the book, as most movies do, but it was similar enough to satisfy us and it was fun to have some faces to put with the names we'd come to know from reading the book. The book had peaked my daughter's interest in Saudi Arabia and so the scenery was quite interesting to her as well. I was wondering where it had been filmed and at the end it said it had been filmed in the Middle East (I forget the country!) so there was some authentic terrain.I would certainly recommend watching this for any horse lover as there are many fine horses in it with an exciting race scene at the end. Be sure to read the book also as it is a lot more detailed and more believable and exciting to read
