Jake of all T 12/18/2024 One of my personal favorites. Mike fink is the best kind of unhinged. Movie teaches valuable lessons that don't judge people by first opinions. And is just a fun story. See more Dale R @iromulus9 07/07/2024 Another compilation film from the television series. This one flows better than the other Davy Crockett movie and Jeff York as Mike Fink (another legendary American figure) is a welcome addition to the story. This one also is episodic and I felt a couple times that the story was over, only to have it continue into another “act”. If you like the previous movie, then this one is worth checking out.

They are still good. See more 11/14/2021 Another compilation film from the television series.

See more 03/29/2020 Disney's Davy Crockett (played by a man named Fess…for real) is one of the least interesting heroes in history. No downfalls, no conflicts, no personal demons; he reminds me of a contestant on The Bachelorette that would be let go in an early episode sheerly because the woman forgot he existed. Nonetheless, this is much better than the original movie…mainly because it's closer to actually, ya know, BEING a movie. Also, Mike Fink is kinda great. See more Read all reviews
