Yes. Here you have it. Every guy Chuck Connors was forced to, uh, deal with permanently in the entire Rifleman series. Get your popcorn and enjoy!

The Rifleman: The Complete Rifleman Massacre - YouTube

That was the greatest! Lucas and Paladin were my heros.
thanks

I loved The Rifleman - great memories.

Hilarious!!!!!

http://youtu.be/8VWDekbIaJEThe but, Steve McQueen offed more bad guys than Chuck Connors did, and in only three seasons.

Never noticed he was a south paw until this video.
I bet those ejected shells were a pain in the face to him...LOL.
But then again, he might have have a custom rifle made for him.
Paladin and Bat Masterson both had custom made pistols.

My dad was also 6 ft 5"s, blond and I always thought he could double for him. I never gave pa any lip! Actually, dad probley was too easy on me. He`d be almost 101 now. Died shortly before 90.

Merrill, You & your dad were very large men. My dad also drove a '37 Ford. My dad was 5'7" & mom was 5'1" so I was the giant of the family at 5'9".LOL.

Those are some very large and strong looking hands.

From his posture and demeanor I don't believe your Dad brooked much BS.

Good looking man.............Like You

WOW! 120 men. I watched most of them growing up but never realized he wasted 120 of them.
Hey..... wait a minute here - how come we're all not mass killers???? After all, what's the count if you combined ALL the Westerns like:

Paladin, The Rifleman, The Virginian, Bonanza, Gunsmoke, Rawhide, Bat Masterson, etc. etc. etc. I better ask some of the "knowledgeable folks" (yea, right) like Bloomberg, Pelosi, McCarthy, Feinstein, and the rest who also probably watched these shows just like we did growing up.

Who remembers the 'Mad' magazine spoof, "The Rifled, Man"?

Mark: "Pa, watcha wanna do with all of these bodies that are smellin' up the ranch?"

All them street shootin's and not one dead horse???

Cool Video.........

Couple of surprises, he used a handgun and a shovel in a couple of those kills and boy, he had some head of hair.

Not much 'collateral damage' either. Surgical strike.

I do remember that! Mort Drucker was one of my favorite artists. As I recall, he drew the Rifleman's gun with so many notched, the entire rifle looked like Swiss cheese.
I think Lucas had heat seaking 44-40 bullets because he always hit guys even though his barrel was wobblin' all over the place. I literally had tears in my eyes laughing watching this with that bell going off for every kill.

"Kids nowadays watch too much violence on video games."
I remember watching all those shows when I was growing up and never once heard of a school shooting in the 1950's or 60's

And in those days before 1968 you could order an M1 Garand with ammo right to your front door through the mail.

What a fun vid! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Usually we waited 20+ minutes to see the conflict build before Lucas was forced to neutralize the evil men with a hail of lead. It had this thing called a "plot" and there were no robot fights at all. Imagine that?!

Probably had a progressive press set up in the back room.
He must have averaged 6 shots per bad guy.

Actually, he was ambidextrous. In some scenes, he fires the rifle right handed, (with the same amazing accuracy too!)

IIRC, Chuck Connors was quite an athlete. He had played first base for a major league baseball team, and had also played professional basketball.

What really floored me was Fred Dryer (star of Hunter). I had heard he played professional football, but I had no idea he played in the NFL for 13 years!

He probably used a Dillon Progressive press he got from Matt Dillon. Dillon shot even more guys, but he had 15 extra years to do it. Boot Hill in Dodge must have looked like Mt. Everest.

Did anyone ever count up all the times Matt Dillon got shot?

If it wasn't for digging bullets out of Matt, Doc Adams might have had to go back East to make a living!

Another good count would be of the number of times we heard, "You stay here until I get back Mark." "Ok Paw."

And taking carbuncles off of Festus' backside.


PS: Did any see Lucas using a plank with a handgun in the notch??? I get that was their idea of a makeshift rifle.

I saw that episode. Vic Morrow had his rifle. McCain had a pistol from a bad guy. Morrow had him pinned down leisurely shooting at him. So McCain rigged up a shoulder stock, made a rifle, and shot Vic Morrow. It was a dumb one. BTW, my friend had a crippled cat and named him Festus. the cat knew that name by the time my friend realized it was Chester that limped. So he stayed Festus.

I always watched it, while growing up...............

Did notice that #34 was an Ames Brother
#44 was US Gov. personnel..... !!
and..............
#32 and #113 were..........."in the back" !!

Seemed right at the time...............

Saw a "Shooting USA" tv show where a place in Calif. that has over 13,000 weapons used in the tv shows and movies over the years.............all rigged for blanks or "Plugged".

The "Rifleman" weapon was in the lot.............

I loved watching that show when I was a kid. Fast forward: years later I attended LE training on sex offenders, and found out that show is a favorite of the members of an organization of pervs who call themselves the North American Man Boy Assoc. (NAMBA). While you and I saw nothing but a father-son relationship being portrayed, NAMBA saw something entirely different. They're still out there.

The show was before my time and wasn't even in re-runs when I was growing up in the 70s. Did you all notice the one kill by pitchfork near the end? Ouch. Technically, I guess it was a suicide.

I noticed he killed Mort Mills several times as well as Claude Akins, John Dehner and Skip Homeier.
Mort Mills:

Claude Akins in: The Rifleman:

John Dehner in: The Rifleman:

Skip Homeier in: The Rifleman:

Did you catch the one where he shot a guy using a make shift "rifle?" Something happened to his own rifle and he took a smashed pistol and a board and created a Franken-rifle. The pistol's barrel was at one end and the rest of the gun was at the other. Weird, but it worked.

Claude and Bob Steel were two of my favorite "Heavies"......

I did not count but that ""Red skin" died 4 times, maybe more ?? He was a regular on a lot of shows......

Funny how a lot of Indians had Mexican and Italian blood in them, among others.............
"My, what a big hooked nose you have..." I know you all know the "Indian" I am talking about. He looked like a frigging Bald Eagle !! ( #70)

Ah, I love those old westerns !!

Wadyatalkingabout?? It's STILL in reruns to this very day.

"kill by pitchfork "...........

That is what happens when you can't get to ..............
"Lens crafters"

I did notice he plugged Claude Akins more than once...

I got the Three Stooges box set for Christmas. I wish I had some editing software and the time to put together something like the Rifleman montage with all the different ways
they slapped, poked, hit each other with tools, shot or got shot, threw gooey pies and other acts of mayhem. If done right it would be quite a show.

And then in the second season...

He played a mad bomber in a movie that I cant remember the name. It sure was a different character. In another movie he played I think called "Branded". Someone was threatening him with a hot branding iron and he snapped, grabbed the iron from the guy, pulled it to his chest and screamed. Pretty rough the first time I seen it.

AMC alternates playing it Sat morns and plays Rawhide too.

A great Italian ""Indian"" was: Anthony Caruso:


Caruso on lefty, Michael Ansara to the right.

I am surprised that the Winchester Mdl 92, isn't on the list of evil assault weapons and banned in several states. It holds too many rounds and can be fired too fast.

If he was shooting rimfire ammo, I figured he used $1300 worth of bullets!

Caruso was good but my favorite "Indian" actor was Michael Pate who was a native Australian. The only movie that I can recall him portraying an Aussie was "PT-109.

After a hard day on the set it must have been nice when Michael Ansara got home to the little wife... Barbara Eden .

he that was very entertaining two of those dudes that got killed wernt by him one dude jumped on his own knife the other dude jumped on a pitch fork

Amen to that. Loved Pate as Vittorio in: Hondo, loved him as Sierra Charriba in: Major Dundee--and in any other role as an Indian.
Hondo:





Sierra Charriba:

Interesting to see that google has many of my exact images-like this one showing Heston w/ Mr Potts silver inlaid shotgun:

One of the worst portrayal of an Indian was, well, Chuck Connors! He played a blue eyed Geronimo in a movie that the Western Channel seems to play twice a day.

Only in Hollywood could Claude Akin become a New England lobster fisherman in, "Murder She Wrote." Hey Miz Jesca, howyall' doin'?
