Favorite Clint Eastwood Movie and gun used

[JGR]

I really liked him in Back to the Future III, though for some reason he was a lot shorter and younger in it...

Darn it late to the thread again.

The Thompson from Kelly's Heroes. "Make a deal." ROFL!

But I really liked Play Misty for me.

 

[The Real Hawkeye]

Didn't you all think the choice of a .458 Win Mag a bit odd in Dirty Harry? That's an elephant rifle, after all. He was looking to shoot a perp with it from a roof top. I wonder how much the screenplay writer knew about guns.

1st choice- UNFORGIVEN.
2nd choice - JOSEY WALES
3rd choice - PALE RIDER

 

[Pilot]

He was in an early movie called, "Call Me Misty" about radio... if he wasn't bad he was certainly flawed!

It was "Play Misty for Me". Good movie, ahead of its time. Kinda of the "Fatal Attraction" of its day. In the movie the girl is certainly flawed, not Clint. He's got a Jag XK140 in that if memory serves. It was the first movie he directed.

 

[Pilot]

I like the "Man with No Name" series also. Although he really did have a name. In "Fistfull of Dollars" (my favorite) he is "Joe", in "For a Few Dollars More" he is "Manco", and "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" he's "Blondie"

 

[PCGS65]

Outlaw Josey Wales, as for the gun, that heavy barrel sharps he uses to initiate "the missouri Boat ride"

Wasn't that the Hawkins .50cal ?

This is very tough. I've seen all his movies but I like the westerns the best.

I'll have to give the tie breaker to "The Outlaw Josey Whales" I love it at the end when he finally gets revenge buy stabbing Capt red legs with his own sword!!! Also because in the begining redlegs betrayed Fletcher by disarming his men them mowing them down with that gatling gun. It reminds me of what the government wants to do today(the disarming part)that is.

What revolver did Clint "the stranger" use while in the barber chair in High Plains Drifter?

One of my favorite scenes, other than the showdown with Little Bill in Unforgiven.

Eastwood: I've killed women and children. I've killed everything that walks or crawls at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you, Little Bill...

So in Good, Bad, and Ugly, it appears to be a Colt Dragoon in the general store when the Ugly takes pieces of various Colts and assembles them into his "perfect" one. But he's loading metallic cartridges in and the thing has a swing out gate like a SAA, but also takes down like a Dragoon and has the loading lever. It has
a round barrel, so might be an Old Army.

Same with the scene where Clint is in the hotel room cleaning his Colt. He manages to get it loaded as the 3 guys come in the door. Again, takes down like a Dragoon but swingout gate like a SAA and metallic cartridges.

Is that an Old Army 1860 with some kind of conversion cylinder?
It seems to be more like a Dragoon because of the hex barrel and takedown wedge.
It has a swing out loading gate like a SAA.

Anyone know what these are?

Anyone know what the heck it is?

Thanks for that! I'd already forgotten.

I like Outlaw Josey Wales and Unforgiven
the other one slips my mind but its where he shows up and paints the town red and gets revenge for the Sheriff the towns people had killed. is it
High Plains Drifter ?

The sixgun in question in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly... To me that appears to be an 1851 Navy converted to .38 Colt with a loading gate like just prior to the model of 1872. I noticed it didn't have an ejector rod and did have the ball rammer and I have no clue as to why. It seems the unnecessary weight would have been removed. Cartridges would have been ejected with a nail or something.

on a colt style (open topped, barrel pinned/wedged to cylinder post) C&B revolver, the rammer can be used to facilitate take down of the gun if the barrel assembly becomes difficult to remove due to fouling etc, hammer at half cock you rotate the cylinder so that one of the chamber walls lines up under the ram and then pulling the lever pushes the barrel away from cylinder/frame assembly. the lever was retained on some of the earliest cartridge conversions for exactly this reason

Hey, what about "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot"???

Remember Clint's 20mm cannon? That's my favourite. I understand that it was actually a cobbled-up Oerlikon. Also, remember George Kennedy chasing Clint and Jeff Bridges around with an M1 carbine (IIRC)? That was an excellent movie ...
