I have got to see the Wild Bunch !!! Whos gonna send me a copy?? I can not find it anywhere.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_g...rl=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=wild+bunch
i also watched the wild bunch shootouts in a class in college. i had already seen it, and had a laugh when so many of the students were so surprised by how graphic the scenes were. they are just merciless, and the social commentary is so raw and sarcastic. and it was only 1969. i knew i was watching something different when, during the chaos of the final shootout, william holden gets winged by a fiery bandita, turns to see it's a woman, says "you b****", and hits center mass with his 12-gauge.........jaw-dropping

I considered the final shootout in The Unforgiven, but I ultimately think the best ever was the final shootout in Clint Eastwood's Pale Rider. Pretty realistic, right down to showing "Preacher" reloading his Remington by swapping cylinders.
Kostner shooting under the horse... bobbing and weaving to get 'the shot' reminded me of my dad trying to shoot a deer in heavy cover. Very cool. Maybe one of the most realistic bits of the fight.
And anytime Robert Duvall pistol whips somebody I'm happy.

Actually an outstanding movie. They used a lot of slo-mo to better view the fairly new "raw meat" special effects. Quite effective. Very enjoyable like Silverado, another of my favorites.

For some great lever carbine and pistolero work, check out Nick Nolte in "Extreme Prejudice".
I think of it as a western. Just set in the 1980's instead of the 1880's.

+1 to the last shootout in Unforgiven. I don't know why I like it so much, but it pretty much just shows you why everyone is afraid of the guy the whole movie
I think open range is too hollywood..maybe just don't like it..Personally I like the wild bunch, clint's spaghetti westerns, Once upon a time in the west. Prefer the older westerns I guess. I enjoyed warren oates in Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia..set in Mexico..60' or 70's..had that gunfighter feel to it.

Open Range did a great job of making the blackpowder rounds going off sound realistic. They really got the BOOOM in there.

Western gunfights. Can be painful for a SASS shooter to watch, sometimes. 'Specially with the duke playing the "fastest gun west of ______." The man had to have been the world's slowest draw. Makes you understand why a number of his characters carried carbines. "Some folks are faster'n me with a short gun." Most western gun work, I can't help thinking, "I know a dozen guys who'd whoop these guys six ways from sunday."
0. In a class by itself. TRUE GRIT. "Fill yore hand you son of @#$%!!!!"
1. Open Range. Kevin Costner cannot play sole lead. With Duvall along, it's all good.
2. Unforgiven
3. Wild Bunch
4. The hat scene, in For a Few Dollars More. Hilarious. Clint vs. Lee van Cleef
5. Pale Rider. Love that reload
6. Winchester '73. The rifle duel at the end.
7. Josie Wales. "Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy."
8. Broken Trail. The most recent Duvall epic. I think I'd have loaded another shell, rather than take the long pistol shot, but great for TV.
9. Rio Bravo.
10. Eldorado. "He was limpin' when he got here."
Honorable Mention: the Slap/Draw scene from Trinity, and the whiskey shooting from My Name Is Nobody.
Those are my votes.
Worst of all time:
1. Bad girls. Gun handling? What gun handling. If someone would AIM, the movie would have been over mercifully sooner. ICK!!!!
2. Quick and the Dead, w/ Stone, Hackman, DiCaprio. Light through a bullet hole? ICK!!!
I could go on, but why?

Check out the opening gunfight in "Waterhole #3"- Not a lot of action but probably more realistic from a situational point as to what these were really like- Great old flick with James Coburn
tydephan ,
whoa, thanks so much for those clips you posted. I never saw Open Range. Now I have to see it.
I always liked Unforgivens last bar scene because it showed what it takes to be a "killer". Loved the whole spin they did on that movie about "killin and all".
