Bruce Derns question

[Yul Lose]

She was, ahem, Mammiorable.

 

 

That otta raise the old periscope.

[Thunder Creek Kid]

He was kind of a good guy in The Burbs.

[Rex M Rugers #6621]

Not a movie , but Bruce Dern was one of the good guys in Stoney Burke , a TV show from the early 60s. Was one of Jack Lord's sidekicks. I liked his role in the movie Posse , with Kirk Douglas.

Not a good guy , but interesting character.

[DocWard]

 

Haven't seen The Shootist in decades, and not familiar with El Dorado........

 

Darn near choked on my drink when I read that!

 

What? That's almost unAmerican. Go get and watch it.

 

Are you still sitting there? Go get it NOW!!!

 

He means it!!!

[Charlie Whiskers]

Have you seen Rio Bravo with Dean Martin and Rick Nelson? El Dorado was pretty much the same movie story with a different cast. Had Robert Mitchum in it.

Rio Lobo is just a little divergent from those two. Mitchum's son and Jack Elam are two of the supporting cast.

[Charlie Whiskers]

I have most of the Duke's westerns. Just a few of the real early ones I didn't care for. Bruce Dern made quite a few movies, but never got the recognition he should have gotten. He sure played a rat in his earlier ones. Seems he was type cast to be a bad guy.

How 'bout the bartender in The Shootist?

 

Or the cute girl in El Dorado?

 

As near as I can find, Bruce Dern wasn't in "The Shootist." He isn't listed in the cast on the Internet Movie Database here:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075213/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast

 

The white-haired bartender was played by Ralph Volkie

Murray the bartender was played by Charles G. Martin -- he may be the one you're thinking of as he bore a slight resemblence to Dern.

[Seldom Seen #16162]

Lomax (Kirk Douglas) - "Mine hit the ground first."

 

Taw Jackson (John Wayne) - "Mine was taller."

[Marshal Chance Morgun]

Pretty much? If it wasn't for Caan and his "El Dorado" poem, you couldn't tell which movie you were watching.

I think Forty Rod was talking about Wayne getting shot in the back and not Bruce Dern.

I think Wayne got shot in the back in "Sands of Iwo Jima"

Wasn't he in Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte?

[Carlos Murphy # 873]

Silent Running, Huey, Duey and Luey's headlight was a Lucas fog light, I had the same light mounted under the headlight on my 1971 Norton 750 Commando.

[Mack Hacker, #60477]

Middle Aged Crazy was kind if different

Just looked at her IMDB page. I had no idea Joey in El Dorado and Anna Hot Water in Dirty Dingus McGee were the same actress.

Silent Running, Huey, Duey and Luey's headlights were LUCAS fog lights, I had the same light mounted under the headlight on my 1971 Norton Commando.

[Tell Sackett SASS 18436]

"Smile" is one of my favorites. All he wants to do is help people.

I thought he was saying that Dern played the bartender in the Shootist (there are two, one shoots Wayne in the back). Maybe I misunderstood. If so, my apologies.

[Rillito Red]

I always thought he was the good guy in Posse. Or maybe the least bad guy.

[jrswanson1]

I'd rather see Bruce Dern's daughter.

[The Blarney Kid]

He played a cop as Walter Matthau's partner in the Laughing Policeman.

[Nimble Fingers SASS# 25439]

I saw him "Madison", with James Cezieval(sp?) about Iowa river racing and he was an old mechanic in it, he played a good guy, good movie too for those of you in the MIdwest and remember the competitions.

[stepnmud#33546]

He was a fairly sympathetic judge in 'All the Pretty Horses" to Matt with the bullet hole and misfortunes he encounter.

[Seamus McGillicuddy]

Check out "Drive He Said" directed by Jack Nicholson. Dern plays the ultimate a**hole basketball coach. Ya just wanna smack him! Great actor.
