    • Trivia
      In order to get the raspy voice of 121-year-old Jack, Dustin Hoffman sat in his dressing room and screamed at the top of his lungs for an hour.
    • Goofs
      The wires forcing a horse to fall are visible in the final battle scene, just before Custer exclaims "Fools! They're shooting their own horses!"
    • Quotes

      Old Lodge Skins: There is an endless supply of white men. There has always been a limited number of human beings.

    "Sometimes, the grass ain't green and the sky ain't blue..."
    Long before FORREST GUMP, there was LITTLE BIG MAN. Jack Crabb rubbed shoulders with some of the Wild West's most famous (and infamous) characters. Dustin Hoffman, as Crabb, is at his very best here. It helps that the movie is also beautifully written and directed. At once dramatic and funny and poignant, LITTLE BIG MAN is one of those rare movies you want all of your best friends to see. Do them (and yourself) a favor and track down a copy: the only one who'll be disappointed is that guy who just doesn't like anything...
