Reacting to PALE RIDER (1985) | Movie Reaction - บันเทิง
"Two Mules for Sister Sara" is a Clint Eastwood western you would like
Yeah, this is a great one!
Yes , Dawn would like this one too
Totally agree. Dawn, if you read this comment you really need to add this to your list.
You are quite right.
Dawn, are you really as deranged as you act? You seem to be just slightly dim in your mind set.
"Pale Rider" is a nod to the four horsemen of the apocalypse in the book of Revelations, and the rider of the Pale Horse was called Death. Clint is The Pale Rider... Death.
thx, scholar...none of the rest of us figured that on our own
Wow you're so brave. @rednecklife1367
@@rednecklife1367Everyone isn't as brilliant as you.
My take on it, he was an Avenging Angel.
Not everyone has read the Bible or seen Tombstone. @@rednecklife1367
Quigley Down Under - Western set in Australia. Tom Selleck. Alan Rickman
Quigley is a MUST watch! Laura San Giacamo does a great job in the female lead! Alan Rickman is great as the main villain as usual!
I love this movie. That Rifle started a yearly shooting contest.
Absolutely!!!
Agreed.
Ditto
"He's an angel."
Oh he's an angel alright. An angel of death.
"Nothing like a nice piece of Hickory." 🤣
You'll really enjoy "Two Mules For Sister Sarah" it's my favorite Eastwood western.
The big guy was Richard Kiel. He is best known for being a villain in several James Bond films. He's done a lot character acting on TV, and is easily recognized as the main alien on the Twilight Zone episode, To Serve Man
I remember him in the original 1974 movie "The Longest Yard" with Burt Reynolds.
He's in Happy Gilmore
Eegah!
@@aaronleffew9593 He was great in that movie.
@@feralart There were giants in those days...
"I buried my dog over here." "Well, that's a conversation starter!" LOLOLOLOLOL!!!
Great chat-up lines #94... 😅
In the old wild west, many towns were nothing more than a tent, dugouts, and some buildings. From the very beginning of American history, church buildings functioned also as schools and government meeting areas.
This Pale Rider, is what was called a Circuit Preacher (aka, Saddlebag Preacher) and would ride from one small community to the next, conducting religious services, so that people would have some service once or twice a month. It was common to find a fifth of whiskey in their coat pocket and guns for protection.
the big man Richard Kiel was well known as the villain Jaws in James Bond when he was younger, and for appearances like this and in Happy Gilmore when he was older. he passed away in 2014, RIP.
Clint in a comedy???? "Every Which Way but Loose". Don't worry...he's still kicking everyone's butt!
Clyde, yes...
"Paint Your Wagon"..... Comedy and Musical......
Cat Ballou. Happy Birthday to you...
Top of my head, only movie with Clint that's sort of comedy is TWO MULES FOR SISTER SARA - please watch!
And it's sequel "Any Which Way You Can"
You were correct, Dawn. "Pale Rider" was Clint's homage to the classic western film, "Shane." Except Preacher was also a kind of supernatural conjuring or avenging spirit like in "High Plains Drifter."
A preacher can be similar to a reverend or minister of a church.
One of my favorite, underrated westerns is Gregory Peck in The Gunfighter.
I've not seen that but i did enjoy Billy two hats.
I like Peck, I need to check that one out thanks!
Thanks so much for Pale Rider. Along with Josey Wales, these are my two favorite Clint Eastwood westerns. The actor who played Stockburn was John Russell, who had a TV western in the 1950’s called Lawman. He was in Josey Wales also.
You should watch some of the Dirty Harry movies where Clint plays a policeman in San Francisco. They are kind of modern day urban westerns. I’m sure you will find them to be best movies ever!
Completely agree about this and the Outlaw Josey Wales. My 2 favorite movies with him.
And John Russell was a decorated Marine fighting at Guadalcanal in WW2, all around badazz !
John Russell also played Bloody Bill Anderson in The Outlaw Josey Wales. I never realized that until several months ago despite having watched Pale Rider and Josey Wales 100s of times. Also, Lawman is on at 5:30AM every morning on the H&I (Heroes and Icons) channel, if you still use an old fashioned TV Antenna in one of your other SmartTV Inputs. .
Pale Rider is my least favorite...very uninspired compared to High Plains Drifter or Josey Wales.
BOTH of these MUST SEE Classics star the legendary & iconic comedic genius Don Knotts,, "The Incredible Mr. Limpet" (1964) & "The Ghost And Mr. Chicken" (1966)
Uhhh... did you comment on the wrong thread because this is a Clint Eastwood movie lol.
@@Fatherofheroesandheroines I am quite aware of that,, BUT,, that by no means limits suggestions to ONLY Clint Eastwood movies,, Various classic movies are suggested by others quite often.
or to keep the western theme going: Shakiest Gun in the West
@@harryhowl2141 That's a great one as well,, Also "How To Frame A Figg",, "The Reluctant Astronaut",, "The Love God?",, "The Apple Dumpling Gang",, Etc.,, I just didn't want to overwhelm her with all of his movies.
SPOILER FOR MR. LIMPET - my dad made me watch that movie when I was 8 years old and I cried and cried because he decided to stay a fish lol.
I saw a biography documentary on Don Knotts and he was a ladies man and women really liked him.
She said "mare" which is a female horse. Also, he's not a ghost. He wasn't in High Plains Drifter, either. He's an Avenging Angel..
Avenging Angel. Now THERE'S a movie!! 😀
If you say so. I don't think he was a ghost or an angel, just someone out for vengeance. But, at least an avenging angel could use a gun. But a ghost? No, not so much.
If avenging angel, two very different ones. The one in HPD is a sadist, and more like a demon. This one is highly benevolent and keeps giving the bad guys chance after chance to back off before going all in.
Drifter was written as the sheriffs brother but Clint made it more ambivalent. Preacher IS the ghost of a gunned down preacher , Clint has said so in a few interviews
Eastwood is a ghost in this movie as well; he was one of Stockburn's marshals from years earlier, the seventh Marshal whom the other six turned on, hence the six bullet-holes. When he kills Stockburn, the pattern of bullets is identical to the ones on his own back.
So, you can't survive being shot multiple times?
You can, but 6 ahots in the back from Colt Peacemakers is .. pretty damn lethal. The odds of surviving that are about as close to zero as it is possible to be.
And the whole point of the movie is the question of The Preacher's possible supernatural (or divine) intervention. Obviously the question is not clearly answered in the film, that's for the viewer to decide for themselves@@dallesamllhals9161
I knew he had been killed by Stockburn but I've never picked up on the idea that he was actually one of his marshals who had been turned on. I always thought his character had just been another guy killed by the marshals.
What part of the movie hints at that fact that he had been a marshal?
@@JO-qd2bv...His coat.
Wow. OK now I need to watch this again and pay attention to the coat!@@trmn8r677
4 more Eastwood westerns left:
Hang 'Em High
Paint Your Wagon
Two Mules for Sister Sara
Joe Kidd
then Clint as a more modern cowboy:
Coogan's Bluff
Every Which Way But Loose
Any Which Way You Can
Bronco Billy
Honkytonk Man
plus the tv show Rawhide. I'd watch you watch all 217 episodes of that. Just watch and listen to the opening theme song and you'll be hooked.
Joe Kidd is excellent. Very underrated.
The best reason to watch Paint Your Wagon is to hear Lee Marvin sing. 😎
"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him."
ALWAYS sends chills down my spine, and I am not even religious.
And by the way, the girl, Sydney Penny who plays Megan Wheeler is 13 years old at the time she filmed this.
Middle school age, BUT her innocence and sincerity would tempt many!
THANK you, Dawn. Ya made one of my wishes for yer channel come true. I really hope you do the 'companion' flick that came out the same year, Silverado. Not so much the lone-gunfighter trope, more of the magnificent seven route, plus a bit of light hearted comedy. PLEASE, I know you'll love it.
Dawn please consider: “Paint Your Wagon (1969)”, “Two Mules For Sister Sara (1970)”, then start the Clint as cop genre with “Dirty Harry (1971)”. Great, fun reaction as usual!
Paint your Wagon? I'm quite sure that Clint is embarrassed by that one. He was miscast.
Yes. It has several connections to Shane -- the first of which is a fight with hickory handles in the beginning!
"The Eiger Sanction" is a fun Clint Eastwood movie.
Add to your list Support Your Local Sheriff and since you're always ready for a western and a comedy you get both.
Best Movie Ever
I was going to do a little work on the roof because it's going to rain and snow for a week, but this showed up and since it is one of my all time favorites, I sat back down to enjoy you enjoying this movie. Thanks.
I second this western. Very entertaining!
And I'll 3rd that one. That is one of THE classic comedy westerns.
And Support Your Local Gunfighter.
The best Western Comedy ever…with an awesome cast too!
Another vote for Support Your Local Sheriff.
"Bronco Billy" is a lighthearted classic Clint Eastwood Western-style film worth watching.
To see Clint in a more whimsical movie, watch "Every Which Way But Loose". You'll love Clyde lol.
That's one of my guilty pleasures. I've seen it 50 times and still laugh my ass off every time.
favorite eastwoond movies....hard to edit tho lot of music
Right Turn Clyde is Epic
I'd suggest Jerimiah Johnson and Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid - neither are the typical Westerns, though any time is good for a Clint Eastwood Western.
Clint wasn't a ghost in High Plains Drifter, he was the marshals brother. Clint has said it himself in interviews.
Kellys Heroes is the movie that Dawn needs to see.
I love Clint’s gun in this movie, and how it’s used. It’s an 1858 Remington, and the cylinders are easily removable. Clint’s character keeps spare cylinders loaded, for a quick reload.
Not just a ghost, a wraith, all of the man with no name movies are characters that have been murdered and came back for revenge.😊
Good for them
Next Western? _Stagecoach_ (1939), directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne.
_Stagecoach_ was the first movie that John Ford filmed in Monument Valley, Utah, a location he would come back to for many of his Westerns. It was also Ford's first collaboration with Wayne, and Wayne's breakthrough role. Nominated for seven Oscars it won two: Best Supporting Actor - Thomas Mitchell; and Best Music, Scoring.
In 1995 the film was selected by the United States Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
Dawn, if no one else mentioned it or you already figured it out, the big guy is played by Richard Kiel. He is famous for being the hemchman Jaws in 2 Roger Moore James Bond films, The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker.
Two great Clint movies: “Kelly’s Heroes,” which is a WW II movie similar in tone as “The Dirty Dozen,” and “Heartbreak Ridge,” which is set in the 80’s with an older and grouchier Clint. Both are excellent.
The little girl in the movie, Megan, is my aunt, Sydney Penny. 😊 That pretty horse's name was Star 🌟. I used to ride him when I was younger.
He's a truly beautiful grey. Or was, I'm sure by now. I'd love one like him myself.
I remember my dad renting this when it first came out on video. I would have been about 8 years old. Absolutely loved it. Such an absolutely amazing film.
Love your reactions and another western I recommend is TOMBSTONE, has an all star Cast with Kurt Russell and a brilliant performance from Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday.
OPEN RANGE!!! you will love it
Indeed, terrific movie. Hard to go wrong with Duvall and Costner.
'Club' is Richard Kiel. He was a great presence on screen and one of the nicest people to work with who was loved by many, and adored by his family. There's a couple of biographies about his life. Well worth watching.
This is one of my favorite movies. His horse in this movie looks like my 10-year-old Dapple Grey stud, Tig. Tig is a big ole boy at 17.5 hands and weighs around 1800-1900 pounds. He is a gentle horse especially for a stallion and does anything I ask of him.
'Hang 'em High' with Clint Eastwood, never seen a reaction to that one!.
“Unless the cow’s your grandpa…” 😂
Best semi historical western The Long Riders.A movie about the Jesse James gang, a group of brothers who robbed banks and trains after the Civil War. The plot follows their origins, exploits, and fate, as well as their conflict with the Pinkerton Detective Agency.
Just like the James-Younger Gang, the actors are actually several sets of brothers. Jesse & Frank James played by the James & Stacy Keach; Cole, Jim & Bob Younger played by David, Keith & Robert Carradine; Ed & Clell Miller played by Dennis & Randy Quaid; and Charley & Robert Ford played by Christopher & Nicholas Guest. It's a really good Western and the soundtrack by Ry Cooder is excellent as well. Even in the Western-poor 80s, there were some quality ones made like "Pale Rider", "The Long Riders", and "Silverado".
You need to see Clint in PAINT YOUR WAGON. It's a western musical starring Clint and Lee Marvin (the man who played Liberty Valance) as gold prospectors. And you'll get to hear both of them sing! You'll like this part, too. It also stars Jean Seberg who gets to be married to both of them, at the same time (Mormon style).
The big guy is Richard Kiel. He had an ongoing role as the villain hit man known as Jaws during the James Bond films when Roger Moore was Bond. He also was in the cast of the original The Longest Yard movie starring Burt Reynolds.
Still a MUST SEE Classic to this VERY DAY,, Starring Acting Icons Charlton Heston & Edward G. Robinson,, "Soylent Green" (1973)
..It would be Edward's last movie..R.I.P.
According to Clint ..the character in High Plains Drifter is the Marshal's brother..not a ghost of the marshal
That was an early draft of the script.
There was also an early draft of the script that included an epilogue scene where we see the spirit of the Marshall leaving Eastwood’s body.
Clint Eastwood also said in another interview he preferred the ambiguous supernatural ending.
So there you go…
Happy you picked up on the parallels between this movie and Shane, Dawn. It honestly is I believe a loose more gritty remake of at least the story
she saddled the mare (female horse).The gold was mixed in with the rock, there was plenty of gold there, but more rock then gold.
The girl said “MARE” which is female horse usually over the age of 3. A “FILLY” is a female horse 3 or younger.
Clint has sooo many great, classic movies. The following ones are up there with his best!
-Kelly's Heroes
-Hang 'Em High
-The Gauntlet
-The Dead Pool
-The Rookie (with Charlie Sheen)
-White Hunter, Black Heart
and MANY more! Basically a hit everytime.
He has soooo many movies!
I was the same age as Sydney Penny in this movie and had such a crush on her! ❤❤❤❤ It's one of my favorite Clint movies.
This movie was an homage to classic westerns like Shane from 1953 which I highly recommend you put on your list. Also John Wayne's last movie The Shootist please.
"And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
And I looked, and behold a pale horse
And his name that sat on him was death, and hell followed with him"
Also from a johnny cash song The Man Comes Around
Lol! Your reaction when the preacher hit the tall fellow between the legs with the sledgehammer was so funny!! That reaction should be saved for future reference should anyone experience pain of that magnitude again. Lol. You're the best Dawn!! Love your videos and look forward to them so much.
Dawn, with your love of classics as well as westerns, I recommend Red River and Big Country
If you want to watch a really fun movie that stars a very young Clint Eastwood and the brilliant Lee Marvin, and has Clint actually singing early in the film before you've settled into your chair, check out the classic musical "Paint Your Wagon". The critics hated it, but it is truly a wonderful film, with outstanding performances from the entire cast. I think you will absolutely love it!
John Wayne in Rio Bravo,! Think it's my favorite., But there are so many, She wore a Yellow Ribbon is another classic.
Try "Stagecoach" with John Wayne, , "Once Upon a Time in the West" with Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda, "Fort Apache" with Henry Fonda and John Wayne, "The Far Country" with Jimmy Stewart, "Two Mules for Sister Sara" with Clint Eastwood, "The Gunfighter" with Gregory Peck - there aqre so many good westerns, you could do a whole channel of just westerns.
The actor playing Marshal Stockburn was a TV cowboy first, before making films, just like Clint. He was also the older brother & ranch owner in John Wayne's Rio Bravo (1959).
If you're so hot for Clint and cowboys you could watch some of the old TV show Rawhide. That's where he got his start. I'm sure it's on DVD.
As for Clint, I think you're ready for Dirty Harry! For westerns, I'd highly recommend John Wayne in Big Jake.
Death rides a pale horse in "The four Horsemen." That's the pale part.
Good job spotting the parallels between Pale Rider and Shane, and Pale Rider and High Plains Drifter. FYI, the actor who plays Stockbridge was star of the TV show Lawman.
It’s basically a remake of Shane.
Wow! You made the connection to Shane faster than anyone I've seen. Well done! Thanks for another great reaction, Dawn!
The large guy was played by the late actor Richard Kiel. Kiel was famous for playing the James Bond villain "Jaws" and his role as Happy Gilmore's boss with the nail sticking out of his head. Kiel was a very large man standing at about 7'2" and well over 300 pounds. My wife went to school with his daughter and he use to go into the shop owned by my in-laws. My father in large is 6'8" seemed small compared to Richard Kiel. I shook hands with him once and his hand was massive! It was like a bears paw and totally covered my hand and I am 6'2", and 250 at that time. Really nice guy who looked like a fearsome giant but was the complete opposite. I am a huge Clint Eastwood fan. I use to go eat at his restaurant in Carmel California. My wife and I got engaged while having dinner there on one trip. I secretly had the fantasy that the staff would see this and call Mr Eastwood, he lived in town< and he would come to congratulate us. It was an extreme long shot I know but I could not pass up the chance. I think my top three Eastwood westerns would be Josey Wales, Pale Rider, and Unforgiven.
This movie is unique in that there isn't a scene of Eastwood getting brutally hurt in some way but the 44 calibur bullet holes in his back alludes to it having happened in the past. And with that many and his mysterious nature are the main reason many consider this to be his second ghost story western.
you still need to watch Beguiled with clint eastwood a civilwar era classic a change from the showdown westerns 😂❤
11:39 - "How do you split a gold nugget?" Most likely is that the shopkeeper would buy the nugget from him, minus what he owes.
15:11 - "How old are you?" - Like her character, Sydney Penny was actually 14.
18:36 - "Oh a horse, I though she said a minner(?)." - She said "mare", as in a female horse.
32:41 "Anyway, I'm going to go because I need to pee." Oh, Dawn and her Dawnisms always make me smile.
One of the greatest westerns ever.
Up for best picture Oscar and several other categories.
The Big Country.
Gregory Peck, Jean Simmons, Charlton Heston, and a best
supporting actor win for Burl Ives. Lot of action but also STELLAR ACTING!
DAWN MARIE, you'll love it. Best Movie EVER!
It is essentially a remake of High Plains Drifter (but not everyone has a guilty secret), with a spirit risen to avenge an injustice. Notice that the Preacher only seems to have supernatural powers (disappearing and reappearing) with the enforcers and the boss's minions and has to be helped out otherwise, notably at the end when he has avenged himself but the mine owner is about to shoot him.
Nice reaction, Dawn! "Pale Rider" was the highest grossing Western of the decade.
Another overlooked classic is "The Long Riders" (1980). It tells the story of the James-Younger gang following the American Civil War. I think you would enjoy it.
I really hate when people say " I rather a person be shot then an dog or any animal". Yeah, 99% of the time, the animal is innocent but a INNOCENT HUMAN life is far more important then any animals. Not much later, you're wanting the human saved but I feel you would have been fine he HE been shot rather then the dog or calf. Can't have it both ways!
The movie in which Clint Eastwood's character is not named until the end is "High Plains Drifter."
'Two Mules For Sister Sarah' 'Hang 'Em High' 'Joe Kidd' and 'Paint Your Wagon'
A "Preacher" is often an "ordained minister" (recognized priest) with NO formal "congregation" (Church) that often goes around on their own looking for a "flock" (followers) in an area to official begin (build) a church of their own.
So, while officially instructed and recognized as an "religious authority figure" , they are also seen more of a mixture between a "loner" looking for a flock and as a wildcard in regard to official denominations, as they often had "personal views" that weren't entirely in line with what was written in the bible.
That big gold nugget is called clovis, when its veins of gold within stone. That chunk of clovis would have been about enough to retire on.
"Kelly's Heroes".. WW2 action comedy
"The Bridges Of Madison County". A modern love story.
"Million Dollar Baby". Clint teaches a female boxer to win.
"Paint Your Wagon". Clint Eastwood in a western musical.
Paint Your Wagon is a must see Clint Eastwood movie if only to see Lee Marvin sing Wand'rin Star which was a number 1 song in your hometown in 1970...always a fun reaction!
I second the comment about reacting to " Support Your Local Sheriff" and also "Support Your Local Gunfighter". Both of them are funny and at the same time filled with action. I really believe you'll love them.
You probably know the big guy from Happy Gilmore. “The nail comes out next week” 😂
Check out Silverado and Open Range
Dawn,, With your love for Clint Eastwood,, BOTH of these MUST SEE Classics are different than what you are used to,, "Kelly's Heroes" (1970) & "The Beguiled" (1971)
Kelly's Heroes is my favorite war movie. It just hits the right buttons with company and squad dynamics, the reasons for war and its disdain for officers. I was in Iraq, in combat, a medic and got the CMB. Kelly's Heroes is truly a dark comedy. Dawn Marie should review it. The opening song "Burning Bridges," is touching.
The other aspect of Kelly's Heroes is that the equipment, unit patches and vehicles are accurate, sure they tricked up the Tiger tanks, but they were tricked up pretty good.
@@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344 I can understand & I also thank you for your service.
Absolutely,and Play Misty For Me.
@@happymethehappyone8300 Most people think of Kelly's Heroes as just Bank Heist movie, but it's more than that.
"Oh, I don't like officers."
I wasn't a hero in Iraq. I can remember NCO's that I revere to this day, but no officers.
@@jamesharper3933 100% Agreed
It was rock with Gold running through it. That's a common way of finding gold
John Russell played the part of "Stockburn." He was in several Western TV shows and movies in the late 50s thru the 60s.
He starred in the TV show "Lawman."
Your next Clint Eastwood movie should be "Every Which Way But Loose".
Great reaction.....want to hear Clint sing...."Paint your Wagon" next please. You'll love it guaranteed ❤
yup, was gonna suggest this myself, but I'l add my vote here instead.
A remarkable movie, unique vibe for a western.
I always saw a connection between High Plains Drifter and Pale Rider. Both were about a protaganist who may, or might not, be a ghost.
There's a couple of actors from 'The Thing' in this too; Richard Dysart (LaHood) and Charles Hallahan (McGill).
That big guy played the villain enforcer Jaws in a James Bond movie.
Absolutely so happy you're doing Pale Rider.!!!
Yes, Clint is Death in this movie. I thought there was similarity between his character in this movie and his character in "High Plains Drifter". In that movie he was an avenger like the Avenging Angel.An avenging angel named Marsall Jim Duncan whose family was killed by outlaws and then they beat, shot and left him for dead.He has come back from the dead to get revenge against the outlaws by using a town and the townspeople to get revenge on the outlaws who are expected to ride into town any day. He trains the townspeople on how to defend themselves against the outlaws with guns. He also instructs them to paint the entire town with red paint.He doesn't tell them why but when the outlaws come to town with the intention of assaulting its citizens, they are outgunned by the townspeople and Clint(Marshall Jim Duncan) comes face to face with the man who killed his family and "killed" him.The town with its red paint is an allegory for Hell. He wanted his enemies to die in Hell and that is why he had the townspeople to paint the red.He outdraws and kills the man who destroyed his family and killed him but now he has come back from the dead to get revenge and he has succeeded. An interesting allegorical western and one of Eastwood's best.
Assume Hull's gold nugget was, in fact, 4 ounces. In 1895 when this movie was set , the value of that one nugget would be close to $90. Translated to 2024 dollars, that's about $3100. And where there's one nugget, there's bound to be more.
for westerns, you can't go wrong with a Gregory Peck double-bill of 'Mackenna's Gold' and 'The Stalking Moon'.
The scars on Preacher's back show the viewer that he is again, a ghost or even an angel of death. That was 6 exit wounds. No way to survive that.
Clint was a big fan of Shane and this was his version of the gunfighter that helps people who can't fight for themselves 😊
You asked how he'd get change from that gold nugget. Back then dollars were backed by gold, so a dollar bill was an IOU for so much weight in gold. So the man would turn in his nugget, and the bank would give him an IOU on paper, or dollar bills, depending on the time period. And if he wanted to keep it in savings, then they'd just write the credited amount in a ledger with his name to keep a record of it. They might have also given a written summary for his own records. The bank traded the gold to the government treasury for dollar bill notes, and then the treasury turned the gold into official gold coins and gold bars. Some of that was recirculated back to the banks. Before dollars, there were other forms of IOU currency. In the earliest days of America, they used postage stamps as currency. There was a time when the central bank didn't exist, and banks that were robbed by outlaws in the wild west were simply bankrupt. That's why locals would form up a posse and go hunting outlaws, even if they were simple farmers and such.
A very good Western is "The Man Who Shot Liberty Vallance." It stars James Stewart, John Wayne, and a great cast of supporting actors.
It's about how legends in the Old West were made...but not always made correctly.
"And these guys are the goodies."
No, actually The Goodies were Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie. "Goodies - Goody, goody yum yum..."
