Topic: Movie cowboy shootout Posted: 19-May-2011 at 08:15 |
John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Roy Rogers, Lee Van Cleef, Kevin Costner, Yul Brynner and Charles Bronson (all in character) meet in a seedy Deadwood saloon for a friendly game of poker (the Lone Ranger wouldn't show up as he never drinks, laughs or gambles). Everything seems to be going well until the cowboys have a little too much whisky to drink. When Yul accuses the Duke of cheating at cards things break down into an ugly brawl. The enraged cowboys reach for their guns and challenge each other to step outside. The next morning The Duke, Blondie, Henry, Roy, Chris, Kevin, Lee, and Harmonica step outside at opposite ends of the street.

Sorry Nick that just got me.
The 'last' is 'the man with no name' as he was the fastest on screen and also wore and iron plate under his poncho.

Blondie may be the fastest, but who's to say his opponents won't have time to shoot back after they're hit? John Wayne has killed scores of bad guys, Charles Bronson is a mean Tatar and Yul Brynner is a robot

Isn't this almost impossible to answer with there only being two ends of the street, and a number of opponents? Are they being matched up one on one, or in teams?

Not good enough Nick...nobody ever got up after 'Blondie' shot them. And Tuco would have shot the robot in the back of the head as per his style from behind.
Good thread.....I need to laugh more.

Every man's out for himself. They could come from anywhere (not just from the ends of the street, but from the doors of buildings) and can hide behind obstacles like barrels, cactuses or water troughs should they choose to. However, each cowboy is within shooting range of his rivals and is armed with a pair of revolvers

In that case, I'll shoot for the man with no name. His record against multiple opponents in close proximity is second to none.

The Duke would win, even if hit, he is by far the biggest man at the fair! Thus more likely to survive multiple hits. Big guys can just take more! "Fill your hands and prepare to die!", or some words to that effect?
Actually I looked it up, and Rooster, facing four men, says in the movie;
"Fill your hands you son of a bitch."
He would be a tough son of a bitch to kill however!
Regards,

But only after he spits. I'll second that, he's always got an angle.

But surely even if Blonde shot the Duke, the Duke's 200,000 horse archers would pepper him with arrows and I doubt even if blonde carries 200,000 six gun shells with him.

Aaah, but they had secret weapons. They had six guns that rarely needed reloading. I once saw an old western in which a gunfight took place between 3 men. I counted 67 shots between the 3 and no reloading.

Re-loading? Holly Wood has been reloading movies for the last 50 or so years, just how many versions of good movies have been "reloaded?"

I always was wondering how come that the best westerns were made in Europe :)
The best duel scene in history of western movies:

There are three left on the smoky, blood stained street...The man with no name, Yul the robot and Charles Mother...king Bronson. Clint whips out his cell-phone jammer and renders the robot useless. Two quick shots...Charles the great falls, stone dead. The man with no name watches the blood trickle from the flesh wound in his side. From the rear, Klaus Kinski creeps out and blows his nameless head off with a rare turkish fowling piece.
