For me the most ridiculously funny part of this movie was how the spectators crowd up on all sides of the duels as if there's a screen protecting them from stray bullets. Or Herod staging the fights in front of his own house which would get shot up over the course of the tournament.
Oddly enough, there's actually historical precedence for that. The famous gunfighter/lawman Wild Bill Hickok had a number of real life showdowns and people would actually line the streets like this as though it was a sporting event.
Well, first of all, those were different times. People were much more used to death and the notion of safety did not exist. In any case, take a look at any video of early 80's rallying and you will notice a similar trend regarding spectators getting close. Nothing changes. And regarding the fights taking place in front of Herod's hose: i think this was a symbolic gesture, reminding everybody who's in charge and the value of this gesture was far greater than any damage the house might receive during the duels. Plus, in a way, the town's people paid for that house, through the "taxes" imposed by Herod on them.
Or the fact that the townsfolk could've used their pooled money to hire a marksman with a scoped rifle to safely snipe Herod from a few hundred yards away at any one of the many moments he's casually exposed in the street, such as during his precisely scheduled duels in which he's standing perfectly still for an entire minute.
@@CognizantCheddar Well, I think there were plenty of opportunities (or ways) to kill Herod but I presume he had left instructions to his men to enact revenge on the town's people should he die as a result of an obvious assassination attempt. And let's not forget how they burned down and killed everybody's in the monastery/orphanage from which they brought Cort in the beginning of the movie, so clearly they did not shy away from such murders. So presumably making Herod die in the inherently deadly competition he initiated and in which willingly took part was a safer option.
any time someone goes flying when they get shot in a movie, it just makes me laugh. Every action has an equal an opposite reaction. so if you fired a projectile with enough force to lift a 200lbs man 2 feet off the ground...guess what...you just shattered every bone in your arm.
There are two reasons for that the first shot hit near the center of the gravity of the body. So it doesn't flip one way or the other. Also the first shot goes through mush like organs and muscles whereas, the second shot it's very far from the center of gravity so it will impart a rotational Force. Also it hits skull twice reducing the velocity of the bullet much more but increasing the momentum delivered to the body
Fairly underrated western movie maybe a little rough on its edges. I watched this a few times when I was a teen, it is quite entertaining. The Lady bore resemblance to Sadie Adler from Red Dead Redemption 2, both are emotionally traumatized by their loss of their love ones and rely on gun fights to alleviate their emotional pain.
Herod was faster than Ellen. She got her gun out first but he shot first and hit her first before she got her shot off. He just wasn't accurate this time around but she was though maybe he moved her to be that accurate when he hit her which is pretty ironic.
Reminds me of Lars Ulrich's tennis career. He was one of Denmark's top 10 players in his age group but when his family moved to Southern California in his teens, he couldn't even make his high school's varsity team. His sports dreams crushed, he was forced to turn to the drums and co-found Metallica.
It's perfect for TH-cam Shorts because the duels are built up, shot and framed to absolute perfection. The flak is evident when seeing the movie and story as a whole, because for me, atleast, it's a tough watch.
I bet that he ( Herod ) in a million years would have never imagined that that little blonde haired girl who he made kill her own father would be the one to kill him one day
You bet?? You bet?!?!!!? Nooo... You bet?!?? You fu*king kiding me you bet according your conclus.... while watched some scene of the movie and bring your cheap opinion of unimportant thing of the movie story... OMG
Could someone explain the physics behind how getting shot almost made that guy do a backflip while the shooter remained standing? My understanding is that the force exerted on the shooter (which is recoil) is equal to the force exerted on the target
@@jjjordan3881 western movies back in the day became really popular in italy so when italian film makers decided to try making their own western movies they tended to be on the gory side and much more action oriented then the typical hero cowboy westerns from the states so the nickname "spaghetti western" became almost its own type of western movie all together
I've never seen this movie but watching clip by clip it unfortunately gets worse and worse.....it started out compelling but as it went on became more and more ridiculous..... like they ran out of money and ideas.
Gene Hackman is one of the best.
When he is bad, he is really bad.
I also heard he was really bad to work with.
This movie gets a little forgotten because Gene was such a monster in Unforgiven. I love it though, what a cast.
When he's good, he's good. When he's bad he's better.
Every duel in this movie was awesome!
Agreed
The backward somersault was a bit much!
Totally agreed.
Sergio Leone saw this and grinned.
Jigsaw wants to play a game!

@@toddmorganofficial9333people stopped and stared because it was very unusual… and not much other entertainment…

Buster Scruggs should’ve got his own movie
When the 1st bullet goes straight through Herod but the 2nd makes him backflip😂😂😂

This movie doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a satire of westerns.
It maybe the first time I know of in a western movie so it's remarkable😁
If you have to go out, you might as well go out with style. Who doesn't like a good backflip?

6:12 “if you live to see the dawn it’s because I allow it” one of the coldest lines in cinematic history!!
It's a Sam Raimi western.
Not for the purists, obviously: but a whole lot of fun 😅
Gene Hackman a great actor . And one of the best
I know this film caught a lot of flak, but I really enjoyed it.
I enjoy you
Yeah, it’s a movie about duelling. You have to move it up a little bit.
Once you know it’s just silly fun it’s a cool movie… I think they went too far with the camp but that’s Raimi’s style…
I thought it was great, it's stupid and funny.
People took it too serious.

Just a lucky shot from her
'Am I fast, or is Sweden just a very small place?'
The Swede was also lucky, he didn't make it to round 2 when Herrod changed the rules to fighting to the death.

@@Lonovavir he has two gunshot wounds in the old west...he is probably going to get a fatal infection.
Cowboy/ cowgirl outfits are unique and beautiful
Gene Hackman is outstanding as Herod.
The last scene was good.
6:39
Einer der besten Duellfilme die ich kenne
great cast, great director, awesome movie

Bullet and physics are not going hand to hand on this town.
Hackman is amazing in this movie
Overall the casting was great, but yea Mr Hackman was an excellent villain
I wanted to see Ace's (Lance Henrickson) dual , I liked his character the best
A very good movie.
Super underrated for such a good movie
What in the fork is underrated about it? One of the most watched westerns in recent times, and you say it's very underrated. By who?? So irritating.😫
They went ham on the Dutch angle zoom.
05:45 - that spinning revolver is one of the most hilarious looking props ever. Very 1990's. 🙂
Ace Hanlon fight was the best IMO
Belly full of hot air line always gets me
Did she just beat Jigsaw in a gunfight!?
Please be quiet
Holy crap, that IS Tobin Bell.
@brettlinthicum6649
Why should he be quiet? Dude is right, she did kill jigsaw lol
Yup
Sure as 💩 she did.
Gene Hackman has played some real bad hombres!
That gun flip at 5:20 is smooth
This movie has some grade-A cheese, but it's awesome.
If Herod didn't force Cort to fight, Cort wouldn't have needed to break his vow.
you think?
😂
Cort would've been faster to the draw and put Herod 6 feet under.
💯
I bet that he ( Herod ) in a million years would have never imagined that that little blonde haired girl who he made kill her own father would be the one to kill him one day
I mean that's Hero Origin stories 101.
You bet?? You bet?!?!!!? Nooo... You bet?!?? You fu*king kiding me you bet according your conclus.... while watched some scene of the movie and bring your cheap opinion of unimportant thing of the movie story... OMG
herod and nucky thompson have something in common!
I'm sure he has had nightmares of the exact same thing for years.
She must be using a 500s&w to make a grown man do a backflip like that🤣
That last shot throw him off like a rag doll 🤣🤣
I like that they add aim too. Sure. Herod was faster but Ellen aimed well!
This is the time when Jigsaw didnt have the technology to back him up 😂
Could someone explain the physics behind how getting shot almost made that guy do a backflip while the shooter remained standing? My understanding is that the force exerted on the shooter (which is recoil) is equal to the force exerted on the target
Yas👊💪
GENE HAKCMAN IS THE BEST,,,❤
"Quick" was an old term for "Living". It doesn't mean "Fast" in the context of this story.
Bota o filme todo pra todos nós assisti
I wish Bob Munden would have been in this movie
That just wouldn't be fair 😂
This time about 1700 years later, Maximus didn't have to fight Tigris of Gaul,but Jack Dawson did. 😅
4:14 Not a very good preacher, is he?
Dang Leonardo De Capricorn looks young in this movie
People don't go flying when they get shot, they just drop!
Sometimes they don’t even do that for anywhere from 60 to 90 seconds.
My man doesn't know Sam Raimi.
"Cort breaks his vow" is the incorrect summary. He broke his vow in the first round. This clip is from the second round, with Spotted Horse.
Likewise "Ellen's first duel" is her second duel.
oh boy...love how she wins the duel...then immediately flags her own head with a loaded gun...
Flags her head?
Whats the record for dramatic zoom ins, in one scene?
2:55 I guess he wanted to play a game.
1:42 I've watched this movie a ton over the years and I JUST realized that this is Tobin Bell.
What in the Red Dead 2 is goin on here?!
Not only was Gene the fastest but his aim was impeccable yet she won in the end, yeah ok.
Meanwhile in Germany: they were still dueling with swords
Love the channel! May I ask what is your outro music?
1:41 saw 👀👀👀
1:42 What does he care about Al Jolson, he'd rather hear the lady sing Mammy
2:55 proceeds to point gun at her head.
John Kramer used his powers as Jigsaw to go back in time
3:44 onward Reminds me of when Russel Crowe played Maximus in Gladiator, and Commodus screamed, ''Sword, Sword, gimmie a sword.''
If am present Her!
Am well be jhon wesly hardin
Yes Eli
Моя любимая дуэль Эллен-Дред
This movie would seriously be in the spaghetti western genre
Whatever tf that means.

Russell crowe
Yes
Look out ☠️☠️
Still, I count the rounds in those six-shooters and it seems to hold more than six shots without reloading.
Pretty much me in EVERY PvP RDO match I play. Doubters? Let's meet up in a match. I don't use Dead-Eye, I am just that f*cking good.
Seeing that LeMatt get tossed in the dirt was painful.
…. What kind of caliber makes a man do an entire backflip?🤣🤣🤣
1:45 is that JigSaw?
Sure is!
John Kramer doing side quests
8:32 how the heck the White Horse still alive?
like if you saw jigsaw
Laziest doctor ever.
No full movie?
What a cheese ball movie 😂
Whats the name of the song right at the end soneone please
شو السم الفلم رد ممكن
People standing behind the duelists 💀
2nd fight is Jig saw
The first words uttered in this clip I thought it was Trump for a second 😂
whats the outro song?
GOLD TEETH
Why Herod shot to kill, it wasn't necessary
Is that Jigsaw fighting Hellen?
This movie was a remake of "Once Upon a Time in the Old West"
Things have a Way of turning about..the one you consider The weakest is sometimes the one who gets you..
Just make sure you wash up wherever he touches you. Okay?
G❤ this eye I love 💕 ❤💋💋💋💋💋💋eyes 💋👌✈️
Is that Tobin bell
John Cramer here OMG!
A LeMat for a quick draw contest??? What sort of silliness is this ?
P.S. That doctor sucks !!!
Nome filme
Haha people really had nothing better to do back then
Hey no Ace Hanlon.
I've never seen this movie but watching clip by clip it unfortunately gets worse and worse.....it started out compelling but as it went on became more and more ridiculous..... like they ran out of money and ideas.
Yeah, it's garbage and a waste of a good cast
You are missing the point it was meant to be corny
😢😢😢😢
Whole lot of dudes standing downrange...
