Josey Wales

[Wyatt Burp]

Will Penny is from a different movie, starring Charleton Heston, in a 1968 movie of the same name (Will Penny). Will Munny was played by Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven.

Thanks. I subliminally switched another great lead character from a movie that was actually great, with another great role that was in a so-so movie. I loved that movie Will Penny. My dad saw a "making of Will Penny" docu once and told me Heston picked a Schofield to carry. I should look for that.

Josey: "When I get to likin' someone, they ain't around long."

Lone Watie: "When you get to dislikin' someone, they ain't around long either."

I heard that the reason Duke didn't like High Noon was 'cause the sheriff, instead of being "strong and silent" and handling it, was running around hither and yon looking for help. That's why (again, so I heard) that Duke made Rio Bravo. To show the way it oughta be - that not only was the sheriff not LOOKING for help, but whenever it was offered, he turned it down. "I don't want to be responsible for you cowboys and storekeepers getting killed. Leave it to the PROFESSIONAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS."

Nope.

Duke didnt make Rio Bravo as a counter-measure to High Noon. It was a project he long wanted to do and in fact, his Production company (Batjac) was supposed to be used to make the money w/ the movie to help him get The Alamo made. Duke used his own money to get that done.

Rio Bravo was actually made in order to get more younger viewers which is why Ricky Nelson was in the movie. That helped get Duke "in" w/ more younger crowds who became big fans of his. Id say that was a brilliant marketing strategy he used.

Josey Wales is one of my personal all time favorites. I especially like the "Missouri boat ride" scene!

Jose Wales is one of the most re-watchable movies in history. I never get tired of it and neither does my wife.

The Ten Bears scene is one of the best "Indian" to White Man encounters ever filmed. Shows the high honor and intellect of the Native American Chiefs.

I do agree that Sandra Locke is a really terrible actress and ruins any scene she puts her pasty white face into. Glad Clint has better taste in scripts than women.

Betcha Clint double-bagged* her while he was "taming her strange"!!

(*In case one bag fell off)

Geeze guys. I am no fan of Sandra Locke either, but you guys are talking about her like she is Whoopie Goldberg or something. Give Sandra a break. LOL

Some people just have the "pile-on" attitude.

"I won't say something bad about X, but if someone else says something bad about X, I'll say something too, and try to say something worse than the first guy".

Personally, while I think she is neither the world's greatest actress nor the world's most beautiful woman, I also don't think she's the world's worst or the world's ugliest.

Anyway, I think Josey could outdo Will in a gunfight any day.

I'm thinking about movin' to Texas. To start practicing I guess that I'll point out that her name is Sondra.

 

[Thuer]

I am suprised that the full movie is on Youtube.

It is time to see it again.

I loved Josey Wales, but my all time favorite western is John Wayne in The Searchers.

Well, based on my moniker, it's a no-brainer.... Josey Wales

"You'll find them up in Kansas. They're with the Union. And we're goin' up there and set things right."

 

[mkk41]

My favorite lines!

Chief; "I guess we ain't gonna see that little Navajo girl again."

OJW; "Yep , I was beginning to like her. But then it's always like that!"

Chief; "Like what?"

OJW; "Whenever I get to likin' someone , they ain't around long!"

Chief; "I notice whenever you get to disliking someone , they ain't around for long neither!"

Another good one.

Cap'n Redlegs; "Well , not a hard man to track! Leaves dead men where ever he goes!"

 

[the ringo kid]

My favorite Josey Wales line is the one before he out-gunned 3 Yankee Soldiers (4th killed by the (Chief) is: "Are you going to pull those pistols, or whistle Dixie?"

I have said it before and I'll say it again. One of the best features of that movie, right along with the great dialogue, direction and story line is the absolutely stellar supporting cast.

Will Sampson and Chief Dan George were SO great and had such great lines and delivered them so well that they were almost 100% successful and making the presence of the perpetually skanky and rhumey eyed and runny nose (from all the coke she put up her nose) Sondra Locke almost bearable. Every time I see her I stop and think, "now where did I leave my 10-FOOT POLE. I'm talkin' about a genuine two bagger here folks....

I know y'all know the one about "coyote love" right. I have always believed that it was made up by one of her one-night stands.

Now Grace Kelly....quite possibly the most naturally beautiful woman ever. You could wake her up at 3:30 in the morning and tell her her house was on fire and send her screaming out into the night with no make up and curlers all in her hair and she'd look better than a lot of women do after all day at the beauty parlor on her best day. Sigh......

As others have stated....
If you like to read, you can order the book from Amazon (or order from local bookstore):

Josey Wales (Two Westerns by Forrest Carter); Gone To Texax & The Vengeance Trail of Josey Wales

The two books were written in 1973 and 1976, respectively.

My copy has both books in one, and is from University of New Mexico Press.

Forrest Carter also wrote the classic book: The Education of Little Tree
