Where is the footage from guy on a buffalo from

The videos garnered more than 30 million views on YouTube — and caught the attention of Travel Alberta, which released a marketing video about Guinn.

Guinn said he didn't know the band had picked up on his old film until a friend showed him the videos. In the '70s, Guinn was working for a company that provided animals for films. He was in Missouri to buy a few mules and someone offered to sell him a buffalo. Over the next year, Guinn trained the beast to be ridden safely. Some filmmakers saw him riding his buffalo around and asked him to star in a movie about Buffalo Jones.

The film featured Jones's adventures riding through the west on a buffalo that often had its own ideas of where to go. The character is at times pitted against First Nations people, who were depicted in stereotypical ways.

Many of the scenes, like when Jones fell off the buffalo and injured his ankle and ribs in real life , were unplanned. When the crew was getting slow motion shots of a cougar for a different production, the cougar escaped, Guinn said. The cat sneaked out of the woods to leap onto his back and bite his neck. They came up with some classic lines like 'Break yo gun on a stump' and 'Step on your foot, ouch, don't wake up' and the catchy chorus 'Guy On A Buffalo.
