"He should have armed himself if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend" is one of the dopest movie lines ever and probably THE dopest line in a western ever.
That final shootout is a perfect personification of what Wyatt Earp said. “Fast is fine, but accuracy is final. You have to learn to be slow in a hurry”
I love how there are two transformations in that scene. The kid realizing he can't do what he'd bragged about and wanted to do, and Munny realizing he's got to got back to being what that kid imagined.
That’s my 2nd favorite scene behind the showdown between Munny and Little Bill. That actor really brought home the sorrow of killing a man, and the way he wavered between sadness and false bravado is amazing to watch.
One of the greatest moments in film history is when William finds out Ned is dead and he starts downing that whiskey. You can feel his character transforming before our very eyes and the payoff is so amazing.
One thing I've learned from movies over the years is that the worst thing you can do is to piss off a former bad ass killer who has retired and force him to come out of retirement
In my former life, I used to be an actor in Vancouver back in the 90's. Besides being a young aspiring actor, I was about to be a father for the second time. Anyway, with my wife 8+ months pregnant...I received a call from my agent offering about a weeks worth of work in Alberta, as a background performer (paid 'special skills' rate due to some talents I had available at the time) for a western being shot there. This is all my agent said; "It's a non-speaking role, filming in Alberta, it should be about a weeks worth of work. Want the gig?" I refused...thinking I didn't want to be away in case my wife went into labour. Cut to a few months later, I'm at the agents office picking up a cheque for some other gig I'd done...and I see a friend of mine who accepted the offer to shoot that western in Alberta... It turns out, he and all my buddies were the guys in the scene where the cowboy gets shot in the stomach...and Eastwood yells to bring him some water. I love my son...but that little bugger cost me a chance to be in a Clint Eastwood western. Just kidding. Still one of my better decisions.
That sucks. What a history you could have had.but you got a beautiful child out of it and your wife. But how cool would that had been to say you were in one of the greatest movies ever?
English Bob is played by the legendary Sir Richard Harris. He was the priest in The Count of Monte Cristo, he was Emperor Marcus Aurelius in Gladiator, and of course he's Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies.
@@lewstone5430 Thank you for the information...I guess I could have looked it up..but I figured someone knew better than I.😊 Speaking of Mr. O'Toole...Have you seen Lawrence of Arabia? A Classic!
I went to see this with my cousin when it came out. Neither of us knew anything about the movie except that it was an Eastwood western (his first since Pale Rider). When we walked out of the theater both of us agreed it was the best western we'd ever seen. I still take that position, 32 years later.
Every Clint Eastwood western leading up to this is great. He bought this script years in advance and waited until he was the right age for the part and that it would be his final western, or so the story goes.
he bought it from Francis Ford Coppolla and sat on it for a decade. he wasn't waiting to be the right age... he just wasn't sure what he wanted to do with it and didn't get around to making it until then.
@@MrSmithOriginal there's an interview with Saul Rubenik (Bouchamp) on here talking about Unforgiven. He said that the writer wrote this script in the 70's. sold it and didn't see it for 20 years until Eastwood called him up out of the blue for a private screening and not a single word had been changed from his script. which is completely unprecedented.
The folks in that town met hell walking that night. This is one of the greatest westerns I've ever seen! Of course Clint has been in three perfect spaghetti westerns with greatest western of all time, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. Always enjoy your reaction / reviews. As we say here in Texas; Y'all be safe.
Technically dances with wolves is considered the first western to win best picture but if I were to be honest I don't consider that a true western movie
are you just talking the oscar for best picture? yes, but over all no that doesn't sound right, true grit 1969 won best actor for John wayne makes true grit an oscar winning film, its hard to imagain that there aren't other wins in other catigorys.
When you said "what?" In the jail scene, after bill unloaded the gun, there are six chambers in a revolver. And that specific design was a one by one cylinder. Meaning you can only release and load one shell at a time. Only five dropped to the ground meaning the very first shot in the gun was an empty chamber. So if Bob would've tried to kill bill the first chamber would've been empty and bill would've shot him. Bill knew he wasn't faster then Bob so he gave Bob a rigged game. Which he commented on to Bob. "You were right not to take it Bob. I wouldve killed ya." An amazing western and I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
Clint Eastwood sat on the script for a full decade as he was waiting to age into the part. That's dedication right there. Imagine sitting on something for ten whole years, waiting till you get old enough to do it.
I always feel bad for the younger guy, he didn't cut her or anything, as a matter of fact, he tried to pull his partner off of her. He did not deserve to die! Poor guy was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
My grandfather was orphaned during the Great Depression and was on his own at 13 years of age. Kids used to be grown in their early teens. The concept of teenagers was a post world war 2 invention.
An inflation calculator says that $1 in 1880 is worth $29.33 today. Of course inflation affects different goods and "services" at much different rates. Some things deflated drastically during that same period due to mass production but other things inflated drastically in turn. $1000 in 1880 is basically $25,000 to $30,000 today depending on how inflation affected that item (disregarding things that became obsolete, like buggy whips, and new inventions, like automobiles, light bulbs, and computers).
40:04 "-You are a cowardly son of a bitch. You just shot an unarmed man. -Well, he should have armed himself if he's going to decorate his saloon with my friend." :)
On the topic of leaving his kids alone. Ppl back then had to grow up quick. Hell most ppl were lucky if they lived passed 20. And if they did they were tough
After making a career on Westerns (personally think Outlaw Josey Wales and the Dollars Trilogy are the best) Clint sat on this one. It's not the kind of shoot em up Westerns that made Hollywood - it's REAL. The fact he's so rusty in the beginning, the kid character being so full of it, the struggle with killing - and watching men died - all of it was stuff you'd never seen in a Western movie before. It was meant to show the reality of what the West was really like. A lot of people think the movie is overrated because its not what youre used to seeing out of a Clint Eastwood western but that's the whole point. This movie and Tombstone basically ended Westerns in Hollywood. There's a few decent ones since (3:10 to Yuma remake, Assassination of Jesse James, Appaloosa) but for the most part this and Tombstone killed the genre. Great pick.
great reaction.. would have loved to hear clint explain why the barkeeper" shouldn't have decorated his saloon with my friend" .. one of the best lines in the film.
Sorry about that. LoL Sometimes good stuff doesn’t make it, but onto because the reaction has to come first. But trust me, nobody was hurt more than me in editing. LoL
Clint said that himself back when this movie came out. The script itself had been around for 20 years prior. At one point, Francis Ford Coppola had it and wanted John Malkovich for the Munny part. Malkovich didn't take it seriously and declined. Around that time was when Eastwood acquired the rights (early 80s). But he knew he was still too young to be convincing in the part and sat on it while doing other things first. Then the 1990s rolled around. That's when Eastwood figured it was time to consider making it.
hey, I had a buddy back in high school. good friend. He told me he lost his right nut in a bicycle accident when he was in 3rd grade. so , of course, I started to call him lefty. He knew, I knew, but everyone else thought it was because he was left handed LOL. Like I said, he was friend and I wasn't about to let that tidbit out in highschool.
You saw English Bob (Irish actor Richard Harris) before, he was the old Emperor Marcus Aurelius at the start of 'Gladiator'. Also the first Professor Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films.
Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman, Clint Eastwood this movie has some of the best performance's. You like them all, even feel bad when little Bill is killed. Morgan Freeman is just so compelling to watch, one of the greats. (Shawshank Redemption is also amazing) Love this movie, Eastwood's best.
In his youth Clint was known as "Samson", and in this movie he bonds with "Delilah". He is "Will" Muney: The Will power, once without, known only for "money", he has achieved a higher state. Unlike the authority, "Little" Bill, "little money", a sellout for avarice & power. A sadist. A false savior: False Jesus: Bad carpenter. He may not be afraid, but he ain't no bloody carpenter. He ain't no "justice of the people" either. His constantly riding people of "low character" is projecting himself. He's the assassin hiding behind a badge. Who is the villain or the hero here? Nobody. "Unforgiven". It's a Kubrick-worthy look at the dark side of humanity.
You just gave the best review I've ever seen I done watched a bunch ! I'm not talkin about the movie or Clint Eastwood I'm talkin about you . ! Best review ever !
Another great reaction. Must see the classic Clint Eastwood westerns. Seeing Clint in his prime would b a blast for J. Itll close the loop on that back to th future reference too. 😊 Great film. One of my favorites.
Ned isn’t soft, he did a lot of killing in his day and that shit catches up to you. It attacks your soul, they were young men when they did their killings. The whole point of the movie is showing that taking a life is not an easy thing to do. It scratches at your soul. This movie also shows that in this time period their were no good guys or bad guys there was just surviving. Anyone who thinks taking a life is easy is sorely misinformed that’s what this movie teaches
The one armed man probably lost his arm during the Civil War. At that time they used soft shelled musket balls that would expand upon impact. Doctors had no choice but to cut the affected area. Technology didn't expand until grooved repeating rifles were invented that allowed steel bullets with steel tips and a separate gunpowder section that would eject. The bullet would spin and thus better accuracy. That was one of the reasons the north won.
I subscribed today even though Ive watched a lot of your reactions. One of the reasons is you watch a lot of movies that are my favs, plus you comments after. I also liked your comments on Gran Torino. Along with many others , have a good day. Have to go pottie!!! loved the reaction
Eastwood is indeed a big man: he appeared with Muhammad Ali on a talk show in the '70s; Ali was 6'3", and Eastwood had him by 2 or 3 inches. Ali said he was surprised at how big he was.
Clint Eastwood bought the screenplay and waited years until he was the right age to play the part, And the screenplay was so good that they shot the movie with the original script with no changes.
Another great reaction on a classic film. Like Muny says: Deserves got nothing to with it. I was raised on great western films. You should watch more of them. Give each of your pilots an extra belly rub. Looking forward to your next reaction.
If you're ever up for another slower-paced, thoughtful, character-focused western, I highly recommend "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford." You're not going to get much in the way of gunfights in it, but the cinematography is gorgeous, the score is wonderful, and it's an absolutely fascinating look at the effects of celebrity and hero worship in a time before mass communication even existed.
The good , the bad, and the ugly we're good western. I watched this movie because critics were raving about it. It was ok. One-time watch. I love your reaction .
@@Dave-hb7lx He was in stuff before (including tiny part in that film) but what made him famous was his anti hero portrayal in. 'Fistful of Dollars'. It also launched the massive increase of 'Spaghetti Westerns' made. Westerns with Italian directors, filmed in Spain with mostly Italian and Spaniard actors but some other Euros and some Americans...like Clint.
Probably 5 bucks in the old west to have a night with a lady. Maybe less. Shared/communal toothbrushes. Shared baths (You paid a nickel and shared the same water that dozens of other men had soaked in. They'd change the water every 4 or 5 hours.) 32:59 Murder isn't okay. Ned isn't soft. He grew a conscious after being a murdering, robbing, criminal. It's a great contrast to how casually Munny takes the rifle and casually shoots Davey Boy (Who was basically completely innocent and did not deserve to die slow and horribly from a gut wound.) Will swore up and down he wasn't like that anymore, but when push came to shove he was the only one of three that could so casually shoot a man who did not honestly deserve it. EOM If you want to see this character "in his prime" watch Good, Bad, and the Ugly, and Outlaw Josey Wales. Although they are not named "William Munny" this entire movie is basically a book end to Eastwood's western antiheroes. It deconstructs all the myths. Did you notice there is no showdown in the center of town? Also, the writer is writing the dime store novels that would later influence Hollywood and the spaghetti westerns of the 1960s... IE this movies is both an endcap to Eastwood's westerns, and a deconstruction of the western genre, but it is also an origin story for the Old West/Wild West mythos that we all love. The writer, Mr. Beauchamp, is also an interesting character, he's spineless, smug, has no actual allegiance to anyone but himself, and he doesn't learn anything from any of these people he encounters. All the stuff Little Bill tries to tell him is basically deconstructing everything we see and hear in westerns.
🎶 "What I've felt, What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown. Never free. Never me. So I dub thee Unforgiven." 🎶 Fun Fact: Clint Eastwood's mother Ruth Wood toiled through an uncomfortable day (wearing a heavy dress) as an extra, filming a scene where she boards a train. However, the scene was eventually cut, with her son apologizing. All was forgiven when he brought her to the Academy Awards and thanked her prominently in his acceptance speech. Legendary Boots Fact: The boots Clint Eastwood wore are the same ones he wore in Rawhide (1959). These boots are now part of Eastwood's private collection. In 2005 they were loaned to the Sergio Leone exhibit at the Gene Autry Museum of Western Heritage in Los Angeles, CA. The boots basically book-ended Eastwood's career in Westerns. Historical Fact: Deputy Clyde's (Ron White) line about why a one-armed man needed to carry three pistols, "I don't want to get killed from lack of being able to shoot back" is sometimes attributed to James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok. He usually carried two pistols around his waist, another in a shoulder holster, sometimes another stuck in the back of his belt, and usually had at least one Derringer hidden somewhere. While working as a lawman, he usually carried a sawed-off shotgun as well. Hickok also laughed at Ned Buntline's report about his killing 20 men with 20 shots, saying that his theory was start shooting, and keep shooting, until the man you were shooting at was dead.
"He should have armed himself if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend" is one of the dopest movie lines ever and probably THE dopest line in a western ever.
It is, but I love my mistake 3 coffins! From fist full of dollars.
That final shootout is a perfect personification of what Wyatt Earp said. “Fast is fine, but accuracy is final. You have to learn to be slow in a hurry”
Kind of like a quote by a famous motorcycle racer named Freddie Spencer: "Fast riders have slow hands."
He even rides a pale horse
Slow is smooth, smooth is fast
I love the whiskey bottle drink with Clint while he was hearing about Ned. Transformation with subtle imagery
The young dirty harry and man with no name came out of him after that drink.
I love how there are two transformations in that scene. The kid realizing he can't do what he'd bragged about and wanted to do, and Munny realizing he's got to got back to being what that kid imagined.
Have you had Angels Envy, that’s some good stuff.
They crossed the line, so did he.
I love how there's no punch-in shot of the bottle. Clint doesn't hit you over the head with it.
When The Kid admits he never killed anyone.. man I'm telling you that's some of the best acting I've ever seen.
I love the look on the Kid's face when Will starts downing the Whiskey.........
i never seen that kid before and i haven't seen him since. but he came on and killed this part.
That’s my 2nd favorite scene behind the showdown between Munny and Little Bill. That actor really brought home the sorrow of killing a man, and the way he wavered between sadness and false bravado is amazing to watch.
@@penoyer79 If ya go to his IMDB, he is a a number of smaller projects, the only other one I recognize is "Rock My World".....
One of the greatest moments in film history is when William finds out Ned is dead and he starts downing that whiskey. You can feel his character transforming before our very eyes and the payoff is so amazing.
if you want to see him in his prime... watch "The Outlaw Josey Wales"
I think there's a good chance that they are the same character.
One of my favorites!
#1 movie ever
That movie is damn near flawless.
Could re-watch it every day.
The practice shooting at a post scenes...
My personal canon is they are the same character... yeah it's not perfectly aligned but there are so many similarities.
Three other Clint Eastwood westerns to watch, Outlaw Josey Wales, Pale Rider & High Plains Drifter.
One of his most underrated movies is coogans bluff... It's not a western but Clint plays a cowboy type character in modern New York city.
One thing I've learned from movies over the years is that the worst thing you can do is to piss off a former bad ass killer who has retired and force him to come out of retirement
There's no fury like that of the man who just wanted to be left alone.
In my former life, I used to be an actor in Vancouver back in the 90's. Besides being a young aspiring actor, I was about to be a father for the second time.
Anyway, with my wife 8+ months pregnant...I received a call from my agent offering about a weeks worth of work in Alberta, as a background performer (paid 'special skills' rate due to some talents I had available at the time) for a western being shot there.
This is all my agent said;
"It's a non-speaking role, filming in Alberta, it should be about a weeks worth of work. Want the gig?"
I refused...thinking I didn't want to be away in case my wife went into labour.
Cut to a few months later, I'm at the agents office picking up a cheque for some other gig I'd done...and I see a friend of mine who accepted the offer to shoot that western in Alberta...
It turns out, he and all my buddies were the guys in the scene where the cowboy gets shot in the stomach...and Eastwood yells to bring him some water.
I love my son...but that little bugger cost me a chance to be in a Clint Eastwood western.
Just kidding. Still one of my better decisions.
That sucks. What a history you could have had.but you got a beautiful child out of it and your wife. But how cool would that had been to say you were in one of the greatest movies ever?
@@BM-hb2mr - No doubt.
I've met a ton of famous people over the years...but I sure would've liked to have met ol' Clint.
Not only that, but depending on what day you were on set you might've got to meet morgan freeman, gene hackman, and richard harris as well
It's a hell of a thing watching J's reaction...
Morgan Freeman born 1937, Clint and Gene born 1930 and still all with us! Was fun watching you react to this great movie! It won Movie of the year!
Good lord born before the second world war I couldn't imagine
"Well you sure killed the hell outta that fella today."
That line always cracks me up.
English Bob is played by the legendary Sir Richard Harris. He was the priest in The Count of Monte Cristo, he was Emperor Marcus Aurelius in Gladiator, and of course he's Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies.
You're so right...legendary! Did he also play the father of Hector and Paris in the Troy movie? 🤔
@Spoonie's world “Troy” was Peter O’Toole, good guess though. BTW, I will always loathe Paris.

Eastwood threatening the town in the final scene was excellent!! Badass Clint!
I'm sure Ned's burial was a Royal event in the town of Big Whiskey 🙏🏾🤠
I grew up watching western movies and Clint Eastwood is one of my favorites. He's timeless.
The movie takes place in 1880. The Civil War ended in 1865. My guess is the Deputy with one arm was a Civil War veteran.
Every Clint Eastwood western leading up to this is great. He bought this script years in advance and waited until he was the right age for the part and that it would be his final western, or so the story goes.

Like he said in Gran Torino, "Ever notice how once in a while you come across someone you shouldn't have f*cked with?"
"We all have it coming, kid"
"Deserve's got nothing to do with it"
Two of the COLDEST lines ever!
"See you in hell William Munny"
Yeah....
Winner of 4 Oscars including Best Picture. It was the third and final film in the western genre to win an Oscar.
Technically dances with wolves is considered the first western to win best picture but if I were to be honest I don't consider that a true western movie
@@rxtsec1
dances with wolves was not considered the first. Cimarron (1931) was.
@@USCFlash your right, dances was 2 & Unforgiven was #3 and that remains to this day

You saw English Bob (Irish actor Richard Harris) before, he was the old Emperor Marcus Aurelius at the start of 'Gladiator'. Also the first Professor Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films.

Anyone who thinks taking a life is easy is sorely misinformed that’s what this movie teaches
The deer hunter is a absolute must watch movie
“JabberWocky” ROTFLMAO 😂🤣😂
I love how you are so good to your dogs! Great reaction!
Omg.."That's dann near romantic"..Lmao...you had me crying with that one
‘They call me the Schofield Kid.”
… ‘You from Schofield?”
‘N-no, it’s on account of my carrying a Schofield… revolver… shut up…”
Love the copilots...give big hugs to the doggos for me💚
The one armed man probably lost his arm during the Civil War. At that time they used soft shelled musket balls that would expand upon impact. Doctors had no choice but to cut the affected area. Technology didn't expand until grooved repeating rifles were invented that allowed steel bullets with steel tips and a separate gunpowder section that would eject. The bullet would spin and thus better accuracy. That was one of the reasons the north won.
I subscribed today even though Ive watched a lot of your reactions. One of the reasons is you watch a lot of movies that are my favs, plus you comments after. I also liked your comments on Gran Torino. Along with many others , have a good day. Have to go pottie!!! loved the reaction
Welcome to the family!
Great reaction! Love old cowboy Clint in this flick
Eastwood is indeed a big man: he appeared with Muhammad Ali on a talk show in the '70s; Ali was 6'3", and Eastwood had him by 2 or 3 inches. Ali said he was surprised at how big he was.
Clint Eastwood bought the screenplay and waited years until he was the right age to play the part, And the screenplay was so good that they shot the movie with the original script with no changes.
I'm sure people have told you to watch the dollars Trilogy or man with no name Trilogy with Clint Eastwood
"What he gonna do?" He gonna kill Bill. Hehe, could not resist :D
Another great reaction on a classic film. Like Muny says: Deserves got nothing to with it. I was raised on great western films. You should watch more of them. Give each of your pilots an extra belly rub. Looking forward to your next reaction.
Not what most would think of when they hear western but one of the best ever none the less.
If you're ever up for another slower-paced, thoughtful, character-focused western, I highly recommend "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford." You're not going to get much in the way of gunfights in it, but the cinematography is gorgeous, the score is wonderful, and it's an absolutely fascinating look at the effects of celebrity and hero worship in a time before mass communication even existed.
I recommend "Open Range", my second-favorite Western behind this one. "Unforgiven" is an absolute masterpiece.
Jesse James movie is amazing, i think one of Brad Pitts best roles plus the lovely cinematography and score by Nick cave & Warren ellis. Great movie!
"Now I'm wondering about how many cowby names mean something else."
Yeah, you don't want to know about Buffalo Bill.
The good , the bad, and the ugly we're good western. I watched this movie because critics were raving about it. It was ok. One-time watch. I love your reaction .
The legend of Clint Eastwood started with 'Fistful of Dollars' 1964.
@@Dave-hb7lx He was in stuff before (including tiny part in that film) but what made him famous was his anti hero portrayal in. 'Fistful of Dollars'. It also launched the massive increase of 'Spaghetti Westerns' made. Westerns with Italian directors, filmed in Spain with mostly Italian and Spaniard actors but some other Euros and some Americans...like Clint.
Won Academy Awards for Best Picture and Director Clint Eastwood
incredible film making, swept all the awards and deservedly so.
Finally. Thanks for reacting. Clint and Morgan are 2 of my favorite.
Have you seen The Magnificent Seven with Denzel Washington? It’s a good one .
Morgan Freeman's high school picture 😆
Nice reaction man :)
Probably 5 bucks in the old west to have a night with a lady. Maybe less. Shared/communal toothbrushes. Shared baths (You paid a nickel and shared the same water that dozens of other men had soaked in. They'd change the water every 4 or 5 hours.)
32:59 Murder isn't okay. Ned isn't soft. He grew a conscious after being a murdering, robbing, criminal. It's a great contrast to how casually Munny takes the rifle and casually shoots Davey Boy (Who was basically completely innocent and did not deserve to die slow and horribly from a gut wound.) Will swore up and down he wasn't like that anymore, but when push came to shove he was the only one of three that could so casually shoot a man who did not honestly deserve it.
EOM If you want to see this character "in his prime" watch Good, Bad, and the Ugly, and Outlaw Josey Wales. Although they are not named "William Munny" this entire movie is basically a book end to Eastwood's western antiheroes. It deconstructs all the myths. Did you notice there is no showdown in the center of town? Also, the writer is writing the dime store novels that would later influence Hollywood and the spaghetti westerns of the 1960s... IE this movies is both an endcap to Eastwood's westerns, and a deconstruction of the western genre, but it is also an origin story for the Old West/Wild West mythos that we all love. The writer, Mr. Beauchamp, is also an interesting character, he's spineless, smug, has no actual allegiance to anyone but himself, and he doesn't learn anything from any of these people he encounters. All the stuff Little Bill tries to tell him is basically deconstructing everything we see and hear in westerns.
This filmed in southern alberta canada , beautiful movie .
Little Bill's house is a reflection of his soul. Dark and twisted.
Oh right, see you on the other side... LET'S GET IT!!!
Your patreons did you right on this one..😉
1930’s in Chicago first men’s underwear briefs sold. Darn good question.

Fun Fact: Clint Eastwood's mother Ruth Wood toiled through an uncomfortable day (wearing a heavy dress) as an extra, filming a scene where she boards a train. However, the scene was eventually cut, with her son apologizing. All was forgiven when he brought her to the Academy Awards and thanked her prominently in his acceptance speech.
Legendary Boots Fact: The boots Clint Eastwood wore are the same ones he wore in Rawhide (1959). These boots are now part of Eastwood's private collection. In 2005 they were loaned to the Sergio Leone exhibit at the Gene Autry Museum of Western Heritage in Los Angeles, CA. The boots basically book-ended Eastwood's career in Westerns.
Historical Fact: Deputy Clyde's (Ron White) line about why a one-armed man needed to carry three pistols, "I don't want to get killed from lack of being able to shoot back" is sometimes attributed to James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok. He usually carried two pistols around his waist, another in a shoulder holster, sometimes another stuck in the back of his belt, and usually had at least one Derringer hidden somewhere. While working as a lawman, he usually carried a sawed-off shotgun as well. Hickok also laughed at Ned Buntline's report about his killing 20 men with 20 shots, saying that his theory was start shooting, and keep shooting, until the man you were shooting at was dead.
Such a good film. I still haven't seen the Japanese remake, but god do I want to.
