Even after all these years this still gives me the chills........

For me this is an amazing sequence. It's hard sometimes to choose between this one, the one in For A Few Dollars More, and the three way one in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Obviously OUATITW has the most emotional one, and I'll never forget the first time I saw the bit with the hanging for the first time.

However the scene that gives me chills now is where Fonda blasts the McBain kid at the end of the massacre. It didn't occur to my young mind at the time, until a guy who drove our works van said that as a father it freaked him out. And this from a man who was a member of a local gun club! And I should remind our US friends here that guns are RARE in the UK!


"Now that you've called me by name......"

Even by today's standards the ending is still pretty shocking !

I finally got around to watching this last night. An enjoyable film, a slight story but it was all done well. I liked the scenes when they were doing their work on the train. Music came across well too, with some scenes that just had the music playing at length.

Amongst the latter was Samurai's desperate chase. I'm afraid the music was overshadowed by wondering how he managed to make it back on board the train when he doesn't bend his legs when he runs!

On the other hand, there was a long series of scenes with them simply working on the train with no scoring at all. I'm sorry but that dragged a bit, and I couldn't help comparing it (unfavourably) with the heist scene in Rififi, which worked brilliantly in silence.

A heads up that this is being shown at 0.30am Friday morning. Never seen the film but a great score with an edgy main theme, the recurrent Muerte Donde Vas in several variations and some grindingly compelling action music.

Can't wait to see it in situ.

TG

oh joanie it was great. Especially all those Morricone theme music variants that werent on the CD!
Do you know what, Hueybaby - i may watch it again tonight!

i wonder if TG will watch again too? Then we could both report back.

by the way whats a "binging"? is that where we sing Crosby songs??
And more to the point, whats a bandwidth?
is that when Earth wind and fire or Def Leppard lie down across the stage and see how far they can reach??!

TCM in the U.S. has run it in the past, and eventually they'll run it again. Of course, it's always available (at a price) from the Warner Archive.

i thought you meant bingeing.

one of those words that you spelt correctly huey you smartarse, but everybody knows it should be spelt bingeing. Otherwise binging looks like we should be crooning like Bing or that you left the r out after the b!!

Oh, goodie, Bill. Keep rubbing it in. Be careful not to open any strange packages from America that may arrive on your doorstep especially if they move or have dangling wires.
