Can anybody count the shots from Bill Munny's six shooter
when he shoots "Little Bill" and then proceeds to clear out the
saloon?
I gave up after 13.

I count him putting down 6 men with six shots. Other shots were at him, not from him.

That's all I counted from him was six. Clint was pretty good in the movies he directed to keep them as close to accurate as possible.

I've counted his shots before. Six shots, six dead. And my all time favorite Eastwood line is, "I've killed just about everything that walks or crawls at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you Little Bill for what you did to Ned." Best Clint line in a long list of great Clint lines from, "Dying ain't much of a living boy," to "But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?" to, "Now remember, 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,” to, “Smith & Wesson and me. Go ahead make my day,” Clint has had a long career of killer lines. This is just the short list. There are many, many more. But the one that makes my blood run cold is the line in Greeley's Billiard Parlor. He confesses to having killed women and children and other places in the movie he talks about killing people for snoring (something stolen from a John Wesley Hardin story) and other trivial stuff. He set that line up to blow people away. The mind of a killer. Yet in the end he rides off on his white horse while the (former) damsel in distress looks at him like he's a hero. Wow what a movie. I don't like movies all that much but that one is something special.

Great lines for sure CJ. The one about getting "plumb mad dog mean..." was one I used to use in the huddle in college football games.

Pete, was there something wrong with putting two rounds in the Spencer? (I thought it was more but I'll have to watch it again now :) )
 
One of my favorite Eastwood lines ever " Well , he should have armed himself if he's gonna decorate his saloon with my friend". Just classic!

Mr Eastwood has a lot of good lines to his credit:''the most POWERFULL handgun in the world...it can blow your head clean off''and a few others.We are lucky to still have him along.

It takes an actor with a very special talent to still be quoted after a few decades.Very few of them have achieved such.John Wayne,Paul Newman Al Pacino,Robert de Niro and a few others.
My favorite though spoke more with his stance and eyes;who doesn't remember Steve Mc Queen's look in the eyes when he was walking towards the ''cooler'' in The Great Escape'' , when he just blew a whistle through his teeth when he sent the message that he meant to escape and when he didn't speak a word but just snapped shut a double barrel shotgun while sitting alongside Yul Brynner in the Seven Mercenaries.

You guessed it...he's my favorite.But Mr Eastwood ranks right up there too!

I used "Well, are you gonna pull that pistol or whistle Dixie" once when a Yute was contemplating whether to rob me or not. It actually made him change his mind and walk away.

I could be wrong, it's been awhile...

No, nothing wrong. Just thought it was intriguing. A real gunfighter move. His guns were empty and that was the quickest way to get it ready. Turns out he still had one left...
 
Yul Brenner said McQueen stole the scene by first rattling the buckshot and then loading the shotgun. Yul wasn't upset, just acknowledging a great
acting moment. Willyboy

Like in "The Great Escape" when he stops the motorcycle, removed the gas cap, and rocks the bike back and forth to hear the sloshing to know how much gas he had.
