Having mentioned it The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) is up next. Josey Wales is one of if not THE most incredible characters ever created. Movie wise anyway, as we also have Commander Shepherd and Geralt. Anyway, Josey Wales is the right hand of vengeance, and very much like Geralt, was sent to protect us from the monsters.
We also have Sandra Locke as our female lead, Chief Dan George and even character actor extraordinaire Royal Dano along with John Vernon and multiple familiar faces.
“A Missouri farmer joins a Confederate guerrilla unit and winds up on the run from the Union soldiers who murdered his family.”
Fantastic background information on the film here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075029/trivia?ref_=tt_ql_2
“’I’ll be across the street at Paramount cutting a new deal.’ Geffen was never asked to sit in on any other Eastwood picture after that encounter.” HAHAHHAA!
Wow. Look at the scenery!
You know, there ought to be a list, of things you don’t do. You know, like pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger, tug on Superman’s cape, spit in the wind and don’t mess with Josey Wales. This is without question my favorite of Mister Eastwood’s films, and not just one of my favorite westerns but one of my favorite movies ever. If vengeance has a name, it’s Josey Wales. We also though all have the capacity to become oh so much more and that Josey most certainly does. Man, when he says, “I’ll be coming with you,” it’s on!
LIAR!
Josey Wales is nigh death incarnate LOL sending 5 men after Josey Wales that’s hysterical. While you’re out there, catch us some moonbeams.
And you know what Admiral Ackbar would say….
It also needs to be mentioned, that, the film is 100% on location and that all of the weapons appear to be correct for the period/at the end of the Civil War. Everything about the film is first rate and I can’t imagine any higher praise than Orson Welles saying, “When I saw that picture for the fourth time, I realized that it belongs with the great Westerns. You know, the great Westerns of Ford and Hawks and people like that.”
It’s a case of a vengeance is mine so sayeth Josey Wales….
HAHA! Our first Josey Wales spit lol love his show of contempt/the classic turn of the head and spit he does.
🙂
HAHAHA!
Here we go http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Outlaw_Josey_Wales,_The Fascinating. Richards-Mason conversions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Richards_%28Colt%29 details, “Along with William Mason he was granted patents from 1871 to convert percussion revolvers into rear-loading metallic cartridges revolvers.” Very interesting and an awesome bit of reference for all westerns 🙂
“We got us the Josey Wales.” HAHHAHA and I can catch smoke with my bare hands.
Wow, now this is cool. http://www.ntxe-news.com/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi?archive=44&num=71135 I had no idea & now we know why he’s called Mr. Wilson at the end of the film.
Haha!
HAHA!
So many funny bits. Great stuff!
