The Hard Hombre is a 1931 American pre-Code Western film directed by Otto Brower and starring rodeo champion Hoot Gibson.
A simpleton rancher is mistaken for a notorious outlaw known as The Hard Hombre.
Principal photography for The Hard Hombre began on July 14, 1931, where the opening scenes were filmed at Vasquez Rocks in Angeles National Forest. [1] It is one of the first films to be filmed in part at the popular rock formation. [2]
Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park is a 932-acre (377-hectare) park located in the Sierra Pelona in northern Los Angeles County, California. It is known for its rock formations, the result of sedimentary layering and later seismic uplift. It is located near the town of Agua Dulce, between the cities of Santa Clarita and Palmdale. The area is visible from the Antelope Valley Freeway. Its location approximately 25 miles (40 km) from downtown Los Angeles places it within Hollywood's "studio zone" and makes it a popular filming location for films and television programs.
