Billy Bob Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Did this come on your History Channel up in Canada.....I know you guys sometimes get things later then we do.......but if you do have a chance, WATCH this....it's a TRUE STORY......but my advice is Tivo or DVR it as it tends to have a lot of commercials, ESPECIALLY towards the end of each episode....BTW it's a three episode series....all 3 have already played up here....but anyway's see here from more info.... http://www.history.com/shows/hatfields-and-mccoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimsbylander Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hey BB, yes it's been on here too. The third and final episode will be on this coming Monday. We've been watching it and really enjoying it. Very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted June 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 OH........that's GREAT......here's a game of questions you can try to answer....might not be easy for you guys not seeing the final episode.....but it shouldn't ruin it for you......some are hard to answer....AND it timed (which I didn't know for the first question) so the faster you answer the more points you get...... http://www.history.com/shows/hatfields-and-mccoys/interactives/hatfields-and-mccoys-trivia-game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iFish4real Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 it's funny you post this today cause just this morning one of my coworkers told me about this movie being filmed in Romania, my country of origin :) it is a nice country but seriously, they make a film about Virginia and film it in Romania??? ...it must be all about money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you research it, it had nothing to do with money...The Appalachia Mountains are no longer undeveloped like they needed to use as back drops in the 1800 hundreds....it was too hard to get back drops without houses, telephone poles, electric lines, etc.....so Romania was chosen as the hills there fit right into the times for the movie.

Pigeontroller Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 I've been watching it, some very good actors in it, love Costner's portrayal of 'Devil' Anse Hatfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smally21 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 haven't seen much of costner for the last little while. does a great job of this. paxton has been in a lot of my favorite movies as well. it takes a good story to get a dude like KC onto the small screen. did he write and/or produce i wonder?
