Bucking Broncho, static shot

Bucking Broncho (1894)

Directed by William K. L. Dickson and William Heise this is an early short film. We watch one of the acts from Buffalo Bill's Wild West show, a cowboy trying to stay on a horse.

There is little more to this short than what the title suggests, a man on a horse trying to throw him. As a historical record this is no doubt valuable but as a piece of film making it is not overly entertaining. The film is a single static shot and at times the action moves out of frame with no attempt to follow it.


2/5
