WHat a great movie to get GOOD pictures on film of famous BP Revolvers!
even if the actors overplayed the recoil a bit in some cases, it's really good to see my favorites in action!
With this one and "Wild Bill" I get to see my favorite guns actually being shot!

good bad and ugly

Also has several good guns and a few unusual ones of the time period.

Also Crossfire trail and sabre river
 
Whoa there now.

Lest we forget the Gattling gun usage at Red Legs' camp in the first part of the movie.
 
Everyone I know and everyone I have ever met loves that movie.


And a bunch of rag tag comanchero slave traders taking on a Missouri guerilla, like the proverbial snowball, they didn't stand a chance in :evil:

"Buzzards gotta eat same as the worms"....and my favorite, " I notice when you start takin' a dislike to someone they ain't around long neither" and "She thinks I am some sort of Chief"
 
After reading this thread, I watched it again for about the 12th time this evening.

"...sometimes you gotta get mad dog mean..."
 
Oh yeah, great movie. Always been one of my favorites. As for the best line, how can you top, "Dying ain't much of a livin' boy."
 
I loved it! Good times. My favorite was when they were on the river and Clint Eastwood is shooting at the soldiers with (I think) a Sharps rifle with a scope... and don't forget the Walkers in each hand!
 
Chief Dan George was an excellent supporting actor. :D

I also love that scene with Ten Bears. If you look over Ten Bears' left shoulder, the brave behind him is hold a muzzle loader with a nicely poured pewter nose cap.
 
The movie Outlaw Josey Wales was a hoot, but just as interesting, is a history of the Author. Asa Earl Carter was a chameleon, changing his colors to fit the mood of the times:

Asa Earl Carter was the author of the punch line that Governor George Wallace used : segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever

According to web sources, he quit the KKK group he founded, after shooting two members in a dispute during a meeting.! On page 153 of Dangerous Eloquence, an account of the shooting can be found. If the google link does not function the document can be found at at this site: https://shareok.org/handle/11244/713?show=full . Guess he knew his guns.

LOVED the Native American chief at the end of the movie, the conversation between him and Wales was very cool! I also liked the part when they were holed up in the cabin and the old Granney was loading the muzzle loaders for the others to shoot!
