Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Just finished watching "The Highwaymen" starring Costner and Harrelson on Netflix. Well worth watching in my opinion. As always, YMMV when it comes to opinions on entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Pretty good movie. Way more accurate than the "Bonnie and Clyde" movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Does anyone know how many 'hits' Bonnie and Clyde took. Looking at some old historical pictures, it looks like their car was riddled with 100+ bullets. How many hit B & C? ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. O. R. Vet Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Watched it last night. Good movie! Loved the scene in the gun shop. Only problem I had was understanding some of the dialogue. Don't know if it was the tv speakers or my ears, but just couldn't pick up several lines by Kostner. Otherwise, a real good movie. Of course YMMV. Dr. O. R.

Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I watched it last night. Totally enjoyed it. Good acting, good script, period correct cars, homes, streets, uniforms, clothes, guns, etc.......But, I agree, Costner's hoarse, croaking whisper was hard to discern at times. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many hit B & C? ..........Widder From Wiki Quote Researchers have said Bonnie and Clyde were shot more than fifty times each;[24] others claim closer to twenty-five wounds per corpse, or fifty total.[108] Officially, parish coroner Dr. J. L. Wade's 1934 report listed 17 separate entrance wounds on Barrow's body and 26 on Parker's,[109] including several headshots on each, and one that had snapped Barrow's spinal column. Undertaker C. F. "Boots" Bailey had difficulty embalming the bodies because of all the bullet holes.[110] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 The April issue of True West magazine has articles on Hamer, Gault, Bonnie and Clyde, and making the movie. Worth a look. I dont watch anything without subtitles anymore, so I enjoyed the dialogue. i guess my Friday night post on the movie was a case of “premature evaluation “! Glad to see I did not enjoy it alone!!

First is that it has been fashionable, especially in western period pieces, for the actors to talk in Mumble. I guess it is supposed to give it a more 'authentic' feel. Or something. Second is that sound effects and music have become more important than dialog. Third is that as we get older our hearing gets worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it’s the real car but there are plenty of people that don’t based on the comments I heard over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And fourth, Kevin Costner and Clint Eastwood and Nick Nolte and a dozen other actors are feeling the effects of aging. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
