Perro Del Diablo Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Guess he didn’t whatch many of the older shows since Sammy Davis Jr and Jerry Lewis, both comedians, could handle colts like that. still good scene from a good movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 That was great! Both of them did a great job, but how about Wyatt Earp cocking the shotgun under the table! Loved it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Wow! Listening to that my opinion of Michael Biehn is diminished quite a bit. He sounds like a typical clueless actor...also, he sounds like he's coming down from the joint he smoked an hour before/. Anyway, here is another entertaining video on "gun spinning".

Trailrider #896 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 The one that always gets me is when (and Johnny Ringo did it in the saloon scene), is cocking the gun, then uncocking and holstering it, with the hammer now down on a live round. Of course, to have correctly returned the empty chamber under the hammer would destroy the continuity of the scene, so they don't do it. Closest I've seen safe procedure was in "True Grit", where John Wayne loads the sixth round in his pistol before going in after the badguys in the cabin. When "Maddie" asks Rooster why he does that, he says, "That's so I don't shoot myself in the foot." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 He wore a tshirt with an anti assault weapon logo on front and on the back it said "listen to the children. This was at an event honoring Tombstone. He claims to respect the 2nd amendment, but not assault rifles. Many felt that whatever his beliefs are, an event honoring Tombstone the movie was not the place to wear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 You can't find work in Hollywood these days if you're not. Just ask Bruce Willis. Ever since he made pro-2A comments after Sandy Hook he's been stuck making direct-to-streaming garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Selleck does okay, Blue Bloods is one of the most watched shows on CBS and he used to be on the board of the NRA! Of course he could be an exception.

Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 He mentions Thell Reed as his coach. I went to school with Thell (Jr & High School)and used to go over to his house to watch him practice after school. He was a world champion at Quick Draw. He also worked as a firearms coach in the movies. His Dad had the garage all set up for practice with wax bullets. The guy was really quick.
