2's the best to me simply because it has Axel, Taggart, and Rosewood together for the majority of the time.
The plot was neither here or there, it was the chemistry between those three why it's the one in the franchise I re-visit the most.
Judge Reinhold has looked terrible for years to be fair.
Is there a lot of swearing? I don't need a lot of swearing to enjoy a film but Axel not swearing isn't right.
The Great Escape
The Magnificent Seven
Bullitt
Connery was the coolest movie star in the world from 1962-1967, period. No one else was doing the things he was doing on screen.
And then Steve McQueen, partly because of films like Bullitt and Thomas Crown Affair (which Connery turned down), and partly because of his personal life racing became the ultimate symbol of movie cool.
"John Wayne hated Eastwood also"
He didn't, he just didn't like his on-screen persona. There's photos on the net of Wayne and Eastwood mixing together at Paramount studios while Wayne was shooting True Grit and Eastwood Paint Your Wagon.
The thing about the "Wayne/Eastwood rivalry" was how idiotic both came across.
On the set of The Shootist, Wayne said he didn't like Eastwood because he shot people in the back, and on the set of The Outlaw Josey Wales, Eastwood said he did the things Wayne never did like shoot people in the back.
The irony? Wayne actually shot more people in the back than Eastwood. He shoots three people in the back in the same scene in The Searchers when he uses Jeffrey Hunter as bait. There's a few other instances too. In Liberty Valance, he doesn't technically shoot Lee Marvin in the back but he might as well have done considering he shoots him from the side, out of view.
I can only think of one instance of Eastwood shooting someone in the back and that was in Two Mules For Sister Saraa. He never even shot anyone in the back in Sergio Leone's films.
A case of two stars who believed the image the media cultivated for them, the hero vs the anti-hero, and didn't actually really pay attention to each other's westerns.
"Eastwood redefined cool for the male movie star"
Nah, that was Sean Connery as James Bond.
What's even weirder is how it wasn't scripted or planned until the day of shooting. I've read it in a couple of his biographies.
Eastwood and Don Siegel came up with the idea during filming without telling the little girl what was going to happen.
Imagine the conversation with her parents after the day's filming?😳
In 1994, Elizabeth Hurley, Pamela Anderson, and Tia Carrere were superior.
She did. Shame it was such a boring sex scene.
Neither. The Road Warrior.
Bottom but I like both.
Science Fiction Double Feature, and Over At The Frankenstein Place.
I agree. I prefer the first half to the second.
Nah, it's good. A tad overrated maybe but good.
I liked it. Felt it was a bit overrated but I enjoyed it.
Stallone's not fit to lick McQueen's boots, so Hilts by far.
It's not bad but Stallone ruins it. Annoying as hell.
I love it. One of my favourite films but I would put Seven Samurai ahead of it. I still haven't seen Sanjuro yet.
He was. His performance makes the film for me.
