- BEST QUALITY ON CZcams!!! # A scene from 1979's "Elvis the Movie" starring Kurt Russell. It was made 2 years after Elvis died, and 2 years before the other major Elvis biography "This Is Elvis" hit the cinemas.
Kurt did an amazing job portraying the King in this- a really, really great performance throughout the whole movie.
Vocals were overdubbed by Elvis soundalike Ronnie McDowell.
It was directed by none other than Horror supremo John Carpenter. - Hudba
No one else has come close to what Kurt Russell did in this movie. And Ronnie McDowell.
I still come back to this clip. Kurt WAS Elvis!!! Amazing performance.
Kurt Russell is the most underrated actor of my lifetime
say what you want about Kurt Russell... but who else do you know that can say they kicked Elvis on screen in 1964 on "It Happened at the World's Fair" and then 30 some years later play Elvis in 2 movies, Elvis, The Movie" "3,000 miles to Graceland" To Me it was an honor for Kurt to play the king... Congratulations Kurt...job well done.
How many got to kick Elvis? That's a very short list. I don't think Elvis would let anyone get away with it without a fight. He wasn't a timid man.
Still the greatest portrayal of Elvis on screen. Attention to detail of his moves on stage etc and performance quirks are impeccable.
I hate to inform you of the existence of Austin Butler
everybody has their own taste, Come on. both amazing in different ways.
@@soundwavesuperior28 No doubt Austin Butler was absolutely fabulous portraying Elvis, but you have to remember, he had two years to study Elvis. I watched the movie twice. Elvis was only deceased for two years when Kurt Russell played him in this film. 1979 was a different time. He didn't have access to all the video clips, interviews, private trips to Graceland & time spent with Priscilla & Lisa Marie that Austin Butler had.
@@LucretziaB good point
@@LucretziaB Honestly, as far as the 70's are concerned, "That's the way it is, " aloha from hawai ", and "elvis in concert" were more than enough to learn Elvis moves and mannerisms. Kurt Russel acts like these vegas elvis impresionnators trying to be like Elvis. Why add those move Elvis never made ?
THE BEST ELVIS EVER.
Gracias buenissimo me gusta ❤ RECORDANDO NUESTRO REY DE LA .MÚSICA GRACIAS KURT RUSSELL ❤❤ POR COMPARTIR CANCIONES HERMOSAS DE ELVIS PRESLEY
He did a great job!
Kurt Russell melhor ator a interpretar Elvis!👏👏🥇🎶
All the feelings and moves of Elvis , great job Kurt ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow!!! Kurt Russell was channeling the King!! Incredible performance!! Crazy, back in 1963 when Kurt Russell was 11 years old and kicking Elvis on the right shin in Seattle, who'd ever thought that Russell himself would go on to portray the King 16 years later!!
THIS MOVIE ROCKED. I REMEMBER WATCHING IT ON TV. I LOVED ELVIS AND THOUGHT KURT RUSSELL WAS AN AWESOME CHOICE. BRINGS BACK NICE CHILDHOOD MEMORIES.
A CRUSH ON HIM SINCE 1958.
My Favorite Valentine’s Day Song Is Burning Love/Can’t Help Falling In Love By Elvis Presley R.I.P
Kurt Russell is gorgeous
i was and still a huge elvis fan ever since i was 2 yrs old. im 52 today. i remember when this hit tv. was so excited and watched it. it made front cover of our local paper tv guide. i have to say kurt russell played him and this role extremely well. loved this movie. i was 9 yrs old when this debuted 79 i think..
Kurt is Great doing this!
The best
The voice is what makes it. It's not his voice and it's not Elvis' voice either. It is Ronnie Mcdowell, the greatest imitator of Elvis' voice. Together they are VERY close to Elvis. Ronnie lMcdowell loved Elvis more than anyone, God bless them both.
I agree, the voice is perfect...if you told me it was Elvis, I would believe it, its so flawless. Ronnie McDowell was a genius. And Kurt Russell delivered the best screen portrayal of Elvis, that I have ever seen. It was otherworldly, like he truly WAS Elvis! A spectacular movie. I saw it again the other day after many years and it still holds up as a terrific, fast moving historical bio.
Actually Kurt did Burning Love, himself as well as Tutti Fruti.
Ronnie McDowell did the rest. Kurt asked if he could do a couple on his own, and after listening to him on those 2 songs they gave him the OK.
This video is one of those spots. 👍
Kurt also does the Best Elvis *Speaking voice ever, and was requested to do Elvis's
Voice in Forest Gump, which he did with flying colors!
Still the greatest Elvis biography ever. Austin did a fine job, but Kurt will always be my Elvis.
Great job
I have this movie its good too but have the new one too love them both
Amazing! Kurt Russel beautyful interpretation !
of all the elvis movies out there this one is the best. love it!
You sure?
Great Kurt Russell. It's not simply working Elvis. Great Kurt
Terrific movie.....Kurt Russell is the only actor I have ever seen that was able to play Elvis with the authority and power of the King. Amazing job, very watchable.
Then along came Austin Butler...
He put true spirit.
Für mich war Kurt der beste Elvis-Spieler und hatte in gewisser Weise fast das Aussehen von Elvis, und Kurt zeigte den Elvis die verletzliche, rebellische Seite von Elvis und wie der echte Elvis die Menschen verzauberte., To me Kurt was the best Elvis-played and in a way almost had the look of Elvis, and kurt showed the Elvis the vulnerable, rebellious side of Elvis and how the real Elvis enchanted people.
I am fortunate enough to have the video starring Kurt Russel. Wow, what a performance !!!!!!!
El mejor imitador de ELVIS PRESLEY ❤❤GRACIAS KURT RUSSELL por compartir canciones hermosas de ELVIS PRESLEY FOREVER BENDICIONES ❤❤2024 24 1 saludos de Uruguay ♥️ 💕 🇺🇾 💙 bendiciones 💕 ❤️ 💖
If the academy awards head honchos didn't give Kurt an award or even nominate him for his impersonation of the King, then WE the public do! His is by far THE BEST re-enactment of Elvis Presley that I've ever seen.🤩😍🥰🔥🔥🔥🔥👈👍
My man kicked some ass.
I love watching Kurt do Elvis.... His sisters loved Elvis too.
Kurt Russell one is of Elvis biggest fans
Ronnie is a wonderful singer.
Mr. Voice doing vocals: the awesome Ronnie McDowell.
Kurt russel is very look alike of elvis even when he is singing👍
the best elvis movie of all time kurt ices the king!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember this, saw when came on the tube. Thought he looked NOTHING like Presley. But looking back, he nailed it. He was really good.
He looked so much like Elvis
Love Kurt as Elvis..
,bravo, Kurt, bravo!!!
3000 Miles to Graceland he blows it out the water again(WHAT A NIGHT)
IT AMAZES ME WHEN ANYONE GETS COMPARED TO ELVIS, THERE ARE THE TRIBUTE ARTISTS, THAT THE TOP ONES DO A GOOD IMPERSONATION, GETTING CLOSE AS THEY CAN TO THE VOICE IN BITS.
BUT HERE IS THE TRUTH FOLKS, NO ONE CAN REPLICATE THE CHARISMA OF ELVIS OR THE AURA HE HAD AROUND HIM, HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
THE TRUTH IS YOU CAN'T, THE GUY WAS UNIQUE,
IT IS ONLY NOW THAT PEOPLE ARE REALISING WHAT A SPECIAL GOD GIVEN GIFT THIS MAN WAS
YOU ONLY HAVE TO SEE A VIDEO OF HIM JUST WALKING TO THE STAGE , JUST WALKING AND THE ELECTRICITY HITS YOU.
SO PLEASE ENJOY THE TRIBUTES TO KEEP THE NAME ALIVE, BUT NO ONE WILL EVER GET CLOSE TO THIS UNIQUE HUMAN BEING, THAT GRACED OUR PLANET. IT JUST CAN'T BE DONE. RIP ELVIS .
YOU STILL MAKE US SMILE AND EXCITED TO THIS DAY. THAT SAYS IT ALL REALLY
Best Elvis movie ever
There is no way you can capture the essences of Elvis. Elvis was the most unique human being. He had the face of a Greek God which can be seen in many statues from that era.The way he moved the way he spoke, there was and maybe never will be anyone like him.
Kurt is a fine actor and he did what he could playing Elvis. But no one could ever portray the charisma of Elvis.
cliffedward I disagree kurt Russell looks like elvis and has the moves that he had. I think its too bad Kurt R. did not become a Elvis impersonator
cliffedward I think Andy Kaufman does a brilliant Elvis. Even Elvis himself said Andy was his favorite impersonator.
But is it Kurt who sing in this video?
Eu acho que Kurt Russel foi o melhor imitador de, mas cada ser é único uma coisa que ninguém consegue ter é o carisma, a postura do palco..............ele cativava a todos desde crianças até os mais velhos, ELVIS PRESLEY é simplesmente fantástico.
Ronnie McDowell Sings all the songs in the movie.
This gives me goosebumps. At the same time I was going to see Kiss and Ted Nugent, I also went to see Elvis twice, at the peak of his comeback shape and voice, right before his sudden decline into obesity and death.
Kurt Russell nails Elvis' moves and mannerisms like no one else could. It's eerie, especially at the end.
Great movie, great actor.
Love Kurt Russell he played elvis beautiful 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Met Kurt on the set of Wildcats with Goldie Hawn in Chicago Super down to earth guy, He did The BEST Elvis portrayal to me.
im sick of all these experts on the King, talking abt his ears had to be pinned back for this movie, and someone else sang this song not Kurt, and there will only be one Elvis, all u fuckers out there just get over it! Sure there will only ever be one Elvis, but Kurt did a fantastic job and i can bet Elvis would have loved it too.
true but... no one and I mean noone can capture his looks or his charisma.
I think he looks and dance even better than Elvis. Can't believe that He also sings like the king. If so Kurt Russell would be the ultimate impersonification of Elvis'. I'm so glad having found this gem here on CZcams. 🙏🙏🙏
Bev ........ If anyone could do Elvis it was Kurt Russell......🎶🎤🎶
It's a live shot there of Russell and I think that is important as the Battle Hymn of the Republic comes out.
Dick Clark getting this onto film cannot be minimized.
Great movie!
Did you know that Russel starred in an Elvis-movie? He plays the kid who kicks Elvis in the movie "It happened at the worlds Fair"
Correction, he kicked him twice..
INCRÍVEL!!
Don't Forget His Uncredited Role As Elvis In Forrest Gump.
He is a cool guy from what i heard from interviews.. him & Goldie. Kurt said his sisters all loved Elvis.
Wow he’s great
Kirk's acting is so authentic...
un kurt russell, tres bien en elvis , impressionnable, tre ressanblant, deja fan de kurt russell depuis51ans , je l adore, et c est mon acteur fetiche, bravo a toi kurt!!!!!!
Kurt did the king the best 💙💙💙💙
Before every performance I have to think about my whole life.
Well he sure looks like a hunk of burnin' love to me. That's one great impersonation!
Thank you for posting that. I really enjoyed it. :-)
Great movie, Kurt did a great job, and Ronnie songs excellent , also Bing Russell Kurts father played Elvis father Vernon in the movie and Kurt married his Co Star Season Hubley who Played Pricilla ......
He nail it
Elvismemories SUPER TOLL
Kurt is wearing the very same jumpsuit (not the belt) Elvis wore at the Garden in '72. It's since gone to a private collector.
Supppeerrr
happy birthday Kurt:)
love kur
He gets an "A" for effort, it's clear that Kurt spent Lots of time studying the old footage...not bad at best.
I met and spoke with Elvis and years later I met Lisa. Both were fun to talk with. A shame that money people drive entertainers to suicide by drugs.
She didn't want to forgive him that's why he stopped caring abt his health
John Carpenter rocks
This is Elvis's REAL jumpsuit!!!!!!
fabfollies no it’s not
Yes it is Vernon Elvis father said they could use it for the film
Lindo
Elvis is not dead and he did not die!!!! He just went home ;)
Jac obite Amen
sorry, but he's dead.. I respect his legacy immensely, but he was just a man like the rest of us... he killed himself... it's sad thing, and should be treated as such.
Insert 8 track of Promised Land and drive on the roof of the Jersey Tunnel
muito bom
He does a god Elvis !
lindo
No filme Elvis the movies feito em 1979 onde o ator Kurt Russel interpreta Elvis .No filme que interpreta o pai de Elvis Vernon Presley era o ator Bing Russel que na vida real era pai de Kurt Russel. O ator Bing Russel já falecido. 😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍👍
he,s a little elvis
Fun fact...When Elvis did "It Happened at the World's Fair" with Kurt Russell, Elvis was 29 years old. In this movie where Kurt is portraying Elvis, Kurt is 29 years old.
Another fun fact, Kurt Russell married at 32 as well as Elvis.
He was 28, not 29.
***** he was 28, divorce at age 32, never married again. He's been with Goldie since then but never married her.
Elvis Did Not Look Like Elvis Singing Burning Love That's My Eye Sight's Opiion🎻🔥
Elvis
Why is it when anybody try's to impersonate Elvis they always end up looking the same just plain corny! although Kurt did a great acting job on his early Elvis, his Elvis on stage in Vegas stinks! Nobody can replace the KING! TCB
Yeah....I agree...impersonators often look corny...Kurt did a decent job acting but his on stage time sucks....And then you add the terrible Ronnie McDowell singing...Or at least trying to sing but instead just doing an awful vocals performance...Kurt does a pretty bad on stage performance....He however probably could have sang closer to the real deal performance than the terrible Ronnie singing spot.. Kurt's dance and everything else though could probably not have been any worse.
Even though Kurt is 71 he is still better than the skinny kid they got playing Elvis in the new movie and a better actor.
Kurt Russell was awesome at this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know why they deleted this scene from the TV Movie maybe because it was 1969 and Elvis really recorded this in 1972 but still should have been put in
Both Kurt Russell and Bruce Campbell are two of the best actors to ever play Elvis Presley.
I'd take Kurt Russell's Elvis over that of Austin Butler any day. Every time.
They somehow had to pin his ears back for this role
People who think Kurt is bad ought to check out Don Johnson in Elvis and the Beauty Queen. Lol.
Dear Gawd that one was awful 😂🤣😂
This movie was only to go up to 1969 - The start of Vegas - burning love came out in 1972. Not a big deal though
Kurt Russel ist besser als jeder Elvis Imitator..
det voss good

A song from 1972 being performed in 1969. Shame on you, John Carpenter.
Apparently Priscilla was given 50k to check over the script accuracy. They should have asked for a refund.
Only a dumbfuck like you would have take this song away just because of "script accuracy"
@@michaelvoorhees7812 but hes RIGHT.
The Homage part tho..
check out Kurt in 3000 miles to graceland awesome movie!
shame that scene ain't on dvd
it's ronnie mcdowell sanging
Ronnie McDowell was the one singing that sang the sound track for the movie, Kurt did a great job of portraying Elvis. but that is all it is it's a movie, they made his nose to big. There is only one Elvis everyone else is an just trying to imitate the man. and only a few can do that and it still isn't the King.
Haha!!!! He moves a lot more than the king!:)))
