Reception[]

Geronimo debuted on television five days before the theatrical release of Geronimo: An American Legend.^[2] Walter Hill, director of the theatrical film, blamed the poor reception of his film on the screening of the TV movie. Hill said, "I don't think there are a hell of a lot of movies where you can take basically the same story, show it to 50 million people and bring yours out a week later and think that you're going to do great. What can you say, `My Geronimo has better locations?' "^[3]
