A lot of you are western movie fans. I have been trying to remember the name of this one Clint movie that I would like to see again.
It has a scene where he is in a saloon (I know almost all of his movies did) and he is going to leave and knows that there are guys waiting to ambush him.
He says something like, I'll kill your mother, your father, etc, and I think that he even mentions their dog, and the bad guys take off.
Anyone know what the name is?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Movie

Those words were spoken in Unforgiven. It was raining in that scene and I believe he told them to give his partner a proper burial as well.
That is IIRC

Thanks for the answer.
I will check the local shops to see if they have it.
 
That was his last western made and it was in 1992. Doesn't seem like that long ago-still a great movie.
 
That was a great scene in a great movie, one of Clint's best.
 
Unforgiven is one of the best modern westerns. A true master piece.
 
Little Bill-"You just shot an unarmed man!"
William Munny-"Well, he should have armed himself if he's going to decorate his saloon with my friend."
 
Somewhere, in some college, there's a semester-long philosophy class that deals exclusively with the movie "Unforgiven." It's one of the most brilliant westerns ever made.
 
MY personal favorite is from another epic Clint Eastwood movie-Outlaw Josey Wales. Another saloon scene where the bounty hunter comes into the saloon to get Josie

Josey Wales: "...you a bounty hunter?"

Bounty hunter: "A man has to make a living"

Josey Wales: "Dying ain't much of a living, boy"
 
Yes its a great western. Gene Hackman is good at playing a rotten crud too. And Clint he is excellent. I may be incorrect but like so many Hollywood idiots I believe Hackman is anti-2nd Amendment. It comes with the territory. In old England (Shakespeare time ) actors were looked down upon and considered trash. Now they are held in high esteem. A few are probably good persons. Make your own mind up but look at there lifestyles. John Travolta is an example.

Wait back to the movie. How about the Spencer rifle? Or the misfires with Clints double? A bit of interesting firepower and something that was more common than we experience.

Hackman was great as sadistic sheriff Lil Bill too.

Madam: "You just kicked the crap out of an innocent man!"

Lil Bill (after beating Clint): Innocent? Innocent of what?"
 
I watched some of it last night, I know this has been discussed before, but why does a cowboy when confronted with a fight has to lever a round into the chamber. Death came in an instant in the old west, you had to be prepared. I guess it is for show, kind of like working a pump action on a shotgun for effect.
 
I guess I'm the only one that thinks it's nothing but Hollywood trash then.

The hero of the movie is a man who constantly tells how good he is since his deceased wife changed him so much, so much so that it actually gets sickening, he won't drink alcohol, won't touch another woman, yada, yada, yada.

But he thinks nothing of leaving his two pre-teen children alone to run a pig-farm, that he can't run himself, in order to murder two men for money. Then, after one of his accomplices is killed for his part in a felony, he murders several more people who did nothing to him or his friend. Exactly what is the message that this movie delivers to the audience? How is he a Hero?

I guess I see the movie differently than everyone esle. The way all the other characters in the movie are portrayed as cowards, or psychos, and nothing like our poor protagonist, that has even forgotten how to ride a horse, in a time when everyone had to know how to ride a horse. It looks to me like typical liberal arts garbage. He is justified in anything he does because he's a movie star. I don't buy it in the movies and I don't buy it in real life.
