    The gunfight between Frank (Henry Fonda) and Harmonica (Charles Bronson) at the end of Once Upon a Time in the West is the best ever- by a mile. The flashbacks, the music, the tying together of the plot lines. The best of Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone.

    In the beginning of "Once upon a time in the West" , when Bronson says "you brought 2 too many" I love the way Woody Strode's grin just drops, like he already knows he's dead. One of my favorite scenes, period!

  • @bunkhouse
    @bunkhouse 3 ปีที่แล้ว +45

    That opening scene in Once Upon The Time In The West is my favorite. The best part of it is how Sergio Leone built up the tension with the bad guys waiting for the train before the gunfight. And he did so just with those guys just sitting around. Master film making.

    For me, the final gunfight of "for a few dollars more" is always #1 (as is the film as a whole). A cinematic masterpiece that portrays the tension and emotion of the scene through its beautifully written music and excellent camerawork. The goosebumps induced when the second watch starts playing just in time is a plot-reveal that movies have strived to achieve countless times since, to varying degrees of success.

    The final shootout in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) was choreographed to perfection. I watched the documentary on the making of the film close to forty-five years ago before the dawn of the VCR and I tried to take it all in. The added realism of Sundance stopping to reload his pistol(s) several times heightens the dramatic effect and the pulse pounding action.
    I was thirteen years old in 1969 and a number of the older neighborhood kids'd seen the film and exhorted everyone to see it based on how "cool" it was. I was on Cloud 9 when my mother and father took my younger brother and me out to dinner and then to see Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I bought the soundtrack album for my parents and it sounded great on the HiFi in the living room and they played it often enough; may God bless their precious memories.

Then both these guys dont want to get killed in the movie so it wont work out if they are together.

    I think the only reason they didn't include the brilliant "Get three coffins ready"/"My mule don't like people laughing" scene from "Fistful of Dollars" is that it's too long and the shoot-out is just part of it's beauty. You know the scene where the four hired guns are laughing and Eastwood's eyes are in the shade of his hat and he lifts his head a notch, exposing his eyes and there's death written all over them, steel blue, no mercy. That scene is film history. Overall I like Kurosawa's 'Jojimbo' better but that one scene has no equivalent or I've yet to see it.

Clint's best moments with handling a pistol(s) in movies were that scene and the Trading Post scene in Josey Wales where he flips the guns back around in a split second to nail the two would be bounty hunters.

  • @tiffsaver
    @tiffsaver 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    After re-thinking this topic, I think I like Alan Ladd's gunfight with Jack Palance in "Shane," the best. Why? Couple of things. First, it was a old movie, shot long before the film techniques used today (no slo-mo or CGI). Second, because of George Stevens' beautiful direction and technique, it STILL gives me goosebumps, starting with Shane showing the little farm boy a little gun play in the barnyard. Once again, there may have been longer, and bloodier shootouts, but in my heart, it still belongs to Shane, in more ways than one.

      @Bj D Yes. He was a "bent" sheriff who was hired to help kill the mysterious "pale man" known as Preacher. The most iconic part of that scene was Clint's use of multiple preloaded cap and ball cylinders he kept changing out on his SA revolver to take out the sheriff and his deputies. He carried these in belt pouches like we would carry a speedloader for a DA revolver today.
      Also, John Russell was a fairly well known western character actor back in his day. Not as well known or used as often as, say, Jack Elam, was but was easily recognizable when you saw him.

      discreditor That grittyness was from the spaghetti-westerns of Sergio Leone and some other Italian directors who made westerns too after Leone opened the way. Italian directors basically broght the realism of Italian movies of the '50 into the western movie. You liked or hated it, it surely was distinctive: the "pure" American westerns have always stayed far away from that dirty, gritty style although Eastwood has tried to imitate it somewhat in his westerns... kinda logical since he grew as an actor by playing into Leone's movies.

He told Ramoun to let go the oldman, Ramoun shot Eastwood 7 times with his rifle but Eastwood get back up feel like i was nothing until he reveal that he was wearing bullet proof vest(a piece of metal with ropes) Ramoun and his gang was shock and Eastwood deliver the blow by shooting Ramoun rifle from his hand and the rest of his gang and quote "when a man with a 45 meet a man with a rifle, you said a man with a pistol is a dead man, lets find out" Eastwood put down his gun, he and Ramoun pick up their gun reloading and Eastwood finish him off.

      MrCharlie1960 Robert Duvall never should have said, "That's mighty bold talk for a one-eyed fat man".

    The never was a man like "Shane," There would be no Clint Eastwood without the movie "Shane." The shootout with Jack Palance being the creepy black hat is unforgetable.
    "What have you heard about me, Shane?"
    "...that you're a low down Yankee liar."

      tdaiy2010 I was waiting in the countdown to see that Shane was FIRST. What a letdown. Shane should have been first. A fantastic western,and a really memorable gunfight!!

      tdaiy2010 Raw courage from an authentic believable character who looks like he could be an ordinary guy next door. Why hasn't hollywood been able to produce anything like it for so many years?? All we seem to get these days is long drawn out violence, sex, and politically correct garbage.

    The final dual in Quigley Down Under deserves a place on this list.
