History / Biographical: Also known as "Arctic Rampage," directed by Peter Hunt in 1981 and starred Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin, and Angie Dickinson. Loosely based on the true-life story of Albert Johnson (The Mad Trapper of Rat River) who was pursued by the Mounted Police in the Northwest Territories and Yukon after shooting a police constable in 1932. Filmed entirely in the Canmore/Spray Lakes area, apart from one scene at the Athabasca Glacier, Jasper National Park. "Death Hunt" was the first film to use Canmore and the Spray Valley as primary set locations, and many locals were recruited as extras. Additionally, dog teams were brought from throughout Alberta for Mad Trapper pursuit scenes on the Spray Lakes Reservoir. Mountaineer and Association of Canadian Mountain Guide Tim Auger stood in as a body double for Bronson for some scenes.

Scope & Content: File pertains to 38 b&w & col. prints of production shots from the filming of the movie "Death Hunt" in and around Canmore and the Spray Lakes area. Includes portraits of the cast and crew during filming and behind the scenes, sets [mostly of an old West-stlye town], and a model plane and its real-life counterpart used for various stunts. File also contains documents: a newspaper clipping detailing the filming of the movie and the controversy surrounding it and various communications between Engler, Auger, and the production company.
