I remember seeing the film as youngster have a vague recollection of Seven(Audie Murphy) explaining his name. He talked about "One for the Money," "Two for the Show", "Three to Get Ready", and "Four to Go" Jones. Was there mention of "Five" or "Six"? If so, what were their middle names?
shareThe names appear to be taken from the song Blue Suede Shoes written in 1956.The song doesn't have a 5,6 or 7 so they probably made up a name for just for 7.
put...the bunny...back in...the box
there was no mention of "Five" or "Six" in the movie - nor was there even a mention of "Three" or "Four" - you must have added them to your memory from the old children's jingle - it's very old - supposedly appearing as far back as the 1800s - so it fits in the movie's timeframe too
i don't know if "Seven ways from sundown" is a part of the jingle - i doubt it - since it doesn't fit the concept nor the pattern of the first 4 lines
