In Hang 'Em High they hung him by accident thinking he was a cattle rustler but he survived, became a deputy and tracked down every one of the mofos responsible!

Clint Eastwood westerns

Post by emissary »

I think the Good, The Bad and The Ugly is above the rest. I was so dissappointed when I saw a few of the others after only knowing Tuco and company. BTW I had only owned a vhs copy for the longest. And there was a scene cut off at a terrible point. Right after Angel Eyes says, "not that you're any tougher than Tuco...." My tape cut off and that scene was lost. I wondered what the en of that sentence was for 20 years. I almost didn't want to know because the suspense was cool. Anyway, he just says, "But you're smart enough to know when talking won't save you."
Also, later in life, I began seeing Blondie as pretty dirty in the way he did Tuco out in that desert. He deserved what he got. Poor Shorty Larsen.
On last thing. My wife likes movies but knows nothing of accurate line calls or specific trivia. So she had to get used to my recitation of lines during several movies. When I first showed her this movie, I said Tuco's entire name before it was said. She thought I was mocking her culture as she is Latin. To her surprise the guy says,"...Tuco, Benedicto, Pacifico, Juan, Maria, Ramirez."

Yeah, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly is the daddy, I quite like High Plains Drifter too, where he literally paints the town red, I like the fact that Clint can't even pop into the barbershop for a simple shave without shooting three men dead.:badgrin:

Well I do like Clint's westerns, but my favorite movie of his is Play Misty for Me, the first movie he directed. Honestly though I like Jessica Walter in this the best as his crazy stalker, and as hard as I try I can never really picture Clint as a jazz DJ. :lol:
