2025-05-11 21:08:17 +0000 UTCThis looks like a kick-ass 80s movie you may want to review. Or at least the trailer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQRuka2aJy4

2025-05-11 15:47:20 +0000 UTCThe quick shooting thing is called 'fanning'. Only needed for single action revolvers that have to be manaully cocked for each shot.

2025-05-11 04:18:14 +0000 UTCIronically, Kurosawa's then-present day film 'To Live (1954)' has nothing to do with the domestically banned Chinese historical dramatic film of the same name (1994).

2025-05-10 22:35:24 +0000 UTCSo famously A Fistful of Dollars was an unauthorized remake of Akira Kurosawa's internationally successful Yojimbo. But this is only the tip of the Iceberg regarding how Akira Kurosawa inspired Hollywood and its offshoots. The Magnificent Seven was an acknowledged remake of Seven Samurai. George Lucas acknowledged that the The Hidden Fortress was the skeleton for the final script of Star Wars 1977. And the narrative premise of Rashomon has been appropriated for several different episodes of the Star Trek franchise.

2025-05-10 22:33:05 +0000 UTCI hope you'll be doing more Spaghetti Westerns. Especially by Sergio Leone, they're so iconic

2025-05-10 21:33:59 +0000 UTCI love how Clint took inspiration from Marty McFly for the chest piece.

2025-05-10 17:44:52 +0000 UTCGreat Western from Clint, but the two greatest westerns ever that I highly recommend are Once Upon a Time in the West with Henry Fonda and Charles Bronson from 1968 and Clint Eastwood's classic, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. These two movie classics are the greatest ever and every modern western made across time has tried to emulate them but none has surpassed them. Both masterpieces by the way were Directed by Sergio Leone.

2025-05-10 16:40:21 +0000 UTCThere's definitley some other westerns that would make for a great reaction: -The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) -For a Few Dollars More (1965) -The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) -Django (1966) -Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) -The Great Silence (1968) -They Call Me Trinity (1970) -High Plains Drifter (1973) -My Name Is Nobody (1973) -The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) -Old Henry (2021)

2025-05-10 15:32:58 +0000 UTCif you do more western polls it would be fun to see "Young Guns" 1 and 2 on there!

2025-05-10 15:16:03 +0000 UTCI believe this Movie was primariy financed by a German Company, made by an Italian Director, and Filmed in Spain...

2025-05-10 14:06:23 +0000 UTCThis movie was panned by critics but THEN became a cult classic when people saw the styling and pacing that George mentioned in the wrap-up. Charles Bronson turned down the role saying the script was trash...

2025-05-10 13:59:53 +0000 UTCProbably my least favourite of the trilogy but still an amazing film. For a Few Dollars More is my absolute favourite just because of the back and forth between Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef. Once Upon a Time In The West is probably my favourite Sergio Lione directed film however, just 'cos Charles Bronson is a bad ass.

2025-05-10 13:53:01 +0000 UTCone for your radar, the Japanese classic Yojimbo, which this is the western version of, from Akira Kurosawa - who also did Seven Samurai (which became Magnificent 7, Battle Beyond The Stars, Bugs Life, Ironclad,). would think more of Kurosawa's period stuff would be on your radar since Shogun.

2025-05-10 13:24:28 +0000 UTCThey were called Spaghetti Westerns because they were shot in Italy and Spain. They only did this because it was cheap to make a film there. This film trilogy has become my go to thing to watch all xmas eve night while wrapping presents. Don't ask why. It just happened. Seeing this feels like xmas to me.

2025-05-10 13:02:02 +0000 UTCAh, one of the ones that started it all... Simone, the gun-shooting technique you were trying to name is called "fanning". Where they hold down the trigger and rapidly "fan" the hammer so the gun fired very quickly. It was predominantly used in single-action revolvers, where the hammer has to be manually pulled back to cock it and the trigger only released it. Double-action guns (Which almost all modern guns use) have the trigger pull back and release the hammer. This film is based on the classic Japanese film "Yojimbo" by Akira Kurosawa. "Yojimbo" is regarded as one of the greatest films of all time, I HEAVILY recommend watching it yourself. It's fantastic. The name of Clint Eastwood's character, and the relationship between this and the other two films in the 'trilogy', is a little confusing. He is often referred to as The Man With No Name, but that's not quite accurate. He has a name in all three films -- here it's "Joe" -- but in each film it's a nickname/slang name. The three films weren't originally conceived as a direct trilogy and the character wasn't always meant to be the same person, but they just sorta worked out that way because they used the same wardrobe for him in all three films. And since he's always called by a nickname/slang, it's easy to say it's just different nicknames used by different people all referring to the same man.
