HATE to ask for engagement, but if you enjoyed the video I would be hugely grateful if you could give it a like, as my Red Dead Redemption videos often struggle to reach a wider audience, so in this case it would really help spread it to others that might enjoy it. Thank you! 🙏
A movie that was a very big inspiration for Red Dead Redemption 2 and my personal favourite western ever is The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. I highly recommend watching it.
Yeah, that movie is on a different level!

The train station in Armadillo is identical the one in the opening scene From Once Upon A Time In The West.
That’s awesome, I never noticed that
As with the GTA games, there's a bunch of stuff in RDR lifted directly from movies. It's fun making the connections and spotting the various Easter Eggs.
The wild bunch was definitely a inspiration for rdr2
Yeah, big time
Also Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid
NO.
@@anantajoarder1962YES.
The Wild Bunch always really stands out as one of the most Red Dead feeling movies every time I watch it. The time period, the hardcore violence compared to many other movies, the characters and the overall feel and grit of it are all extremely reminiscent of eachother. Such a great movie. Two other movies that always feel like they're in the Red Dead universe are Fistfull Of Dynamite and Once Upon A Time In the West.
Rockstar also got the director of The Proposition, John Hillcoat to do the promotional machinima, "RDR The Man from Blackwater". Was pretty amazed they got the man on board.
Yeah, that was really weird. I was considering doing a video on the topic
Love playing the game and love watching westerns. Take care
Awesome, thanks
Incredible list, I've been wondering about this for years feeling like I've exhausted all the obvious films. Clearly a lot of Clint Westerns were inspirational for Red Dead, but I had no idea about The Proposition being so highly influential. Never even heard of it and I've seen a shit ton of Westerns. Thanks for the video, look forward to a part 2 🌵
One good Western that's a clear inspiration for RDR2 worth watching is The Great Silence.
Yes please to a video covering the movies that inspired Red Dead 2!
There's also My Name is Nobody which directly influences the mission where Arthur has to take pictures of those he kills. My favorite Western. Please do an episode on it. Great channel!
The Outlaw Josey Wales is by far the biggest visual inspiration. The snake oil salesman, The scars on the face between both main characters. The Cat and mouse plot and etc..
Perfect list. The Proposition is such an underrated western.
In terms in how John looks, dan evans from 3:10 to Yuma is definitely of the inspirations for not just rdr1 but also rdr2
Please do one for Red Dead Redemption 2. Great video as always!
High plains drifter for sure, and definitely the good the bad and the ugly, once upon a time in the west, and maybe even silverado?
Solid predictions!
@@JustWesterns ye Padens hat from Silverado is in red dead online
4. High Plains Drifter
3. The Wild Bunch
2. Unforgiven
1. The Proposition
Your channel is a gem. I subscribed when I came across the video where you featured That Dirty Black Bag. Also, would absolutely love a video about the movies which inspired RDR 2!
Thank you, that really means a lot!
@@JustWesterns The Pleasure is all mine
cheers mate
Great video. One on the second game would be pretty good
Thank you! I guess I will see how this one is received first
The wild bunch more than any other really feels like the speaeheader for the series. It also blew me away the first time i watched it considering the themes and graphicness of it all was really ahead of its time.
Can you do the top 10 Western fiction novels? Please :)
I think Red Dead 2 has heavy influence from The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford and 310 To Yuma
The scenery and cinematography in Red Dead 2 are very similar to The Assassination to Jesse James, as well as straight up referencing the train robbery scene almost shot for shot. Jesse’s character arc in the movie reminds me of Dutch too with the whole “charismatic romanticized outlaw gang leader shown to be a mentally unstable, scary, heavily flawed man” thing
I think Micah Bell from RDR2 was heavily inspired by Charlie Prince from 310 To Yuma. Similar fashion sense (that badass jacket especially) but with the hat and jacket’s colors swapped, plus Charlie has that cold-blooded, sadistic brutality that Micah has. He’s much more loyal than Micah but there’s still quite a few similarities.
So what other Westerns do you think had a big influence on Red Dead Redemption? 🤔
I haven't seen the Proposition since it came out in cinemas, methinks I should rectify that!
Great film, love John Hurt in it
I noticed that the outfit The Pursuer in rdr 2 is the same that Burt Lancaster wore in the movie.
The only movies I can think of off the top of my head that were obvious influences to RDR2 are Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid and The Assassination of Jesse James (Maybe The Great Silence, I could see that especially with the villain and the snowy mountains). RDR2 seems more inspired by history and literature than film
I knew all 4 of these were the inspiration without any pretext what so ever.
Would love a video with the inspirations for RDR2
Awesome, thanks for letting me know!
I think a fistfull of dinamite/duck you sucker was also a big inspiration
I'll subscribe so I will get notified for the red dead 2 version
Thanks, means a lot!
Unforgiven is the greatest western ever
👍🏾👌🏾
What about the companeros and the mercenary.Same era with RDR and the protagonist in the both movies help the mexican revolutionists like John Martston.
Very true, that could have easily been an influence
can't see too much of Unforgiven though in RDR1
Yeah, of the ones he cited that one feels like the least directly comparable
Both are actually pretty similar ,both are revisionist westerns,both go around a man who hunts 3 (originally 2) guys,both are about a bad man that want to change.
Butch and Sundance the dollars trilogy for the first one
The Proposition is a horror movie.
