One of my favorite movies.... imagine that!
But I can skip the Sondra Locke scenes.... what was I thinking?!?!

Condsider yourself punished enough,. Clint was even nuce enough to give her an "Auf Wiedersehen--NICHT!" package too when the "lady" tried suing him when they broke up. If it werent for Clint--she wouldnt have made more than 2 or 3 movies--none were high budget either.

Been searching for the name of that tune for ages. This deserves 5 likes.

I've found both that cut from the soundtrack, and a version or two from fife and drum bands on the internet.

I've been trying to find a copy, online or elsewhere, of the march from the Irish Brigade scenes in "Gods and Generals". It's called "Frog in the Well". No luck so far.

This here's a picture of Josey Wales. Found him on a street corner about 6 years ago. He was pretty beat up & I thought he needed a tough guy name.
Also, if you recall, Ten Bears called him "The Grey Rider". Thus, the handle.
Am I a fan? You bet I am!

He cleaned up real nicely. Handsome critter.

Been too long since we had a good Josey Wales thread around here.

I reckon so.

Lone Watie: its a good thing you stopped her. I liked to kill er.

Also, edit out the Sandra Locke scenes. Clint........really?

Josey: Got anything to eat?

Lone Waiti: Just this piece of rock candy, but it ain't for eating, it's for looking through!

A few of my favorite quotes...

1) "Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is."

2) Well, Mr. Carpetbagger. We got somethin' in this territory called a Missouri boat ride.

3) Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy.

4) Lone Watie: Get Ready little lady. Hell is coming to breakfast.

Thanks to this thread I found it on TV and watched it for the first time. I do not know why I never watched it before.

Don't see Joe Kidd, another great one. I watch Josey 2-3 times a year. my favorite line: "Don't p*** down my back and tell me it's rainin"

 

[lowriderfxr]

Team Edward? Team Jacob? No thank you I'm on team Josey. Watched it last night. I had forgotten how good it was. At the end when he was about to kill the red Legs commander that killed his family, and he was snapping those empty percussion Colts, I half heartedly said, you're ruining your nipples Josey. My girl said, "What would that do to his nipples?" Good stuff!!! Still laughing about it today.

Yeah buddy, Joe Kidd. Gave Lamarr with the machine pistol hell the whole movie.
Kudos to whoever put together the cast of firearms in that movie. I admire that breakdown rifle Josie swiped for the sniper standoff. Appeared Mr. Kidd and myself share an affliction, right-handed yet left eye dominant.

We got him, Abe! We got the Josey Wales, Abe!

Watch him. He's meaner'n a rattler and twice as fast with them pistols.

There are so many interesting things in that movie!
Like- Comancheros. They were a mysterious group of traders from NM who traded with the Comanche- that's why they were named that - and other plains tribes. The Comanches were an elusive and combative tribe.
For example, up at Bents Fort near La Junta, CO they say that most Indians were invited into the fort to trade. But not the Comanches! They traded with them outside.
The Comancheros show up in a number Of movies, usually in a negative way. They probably did at times trade captives- slaves. They may have at times provided the Indians with firearms and powder.
They travelled from NE NM in Carretas. They went as far North as Neb and as far South as the Texas Big Bend.
I think the Comancheros are one of the most interesting and least understood people in this part of the country.
Here is a carreta. Its located at the Martinez hacienda, Taos, NM.

We have a common interest, Pilgrim. The links between the pirates of the Sea of Cortez, the Ciboleros and the Comancheros are real. The northern end of the Sea connected the wandering/migratory opportunists to those native tribe/spanish mixed land based traders, who had access to the horses that provided the mobility that got the travellers as far as the south central Texas. When we look at a map, it's not that far, but it is harsh country.
Survival of the fittest produced some tough hombres, I rekon.
