Buckshot Bear Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 (edited) Appaloosa was our Saturday night movie last night, must have been some time since we'd seen it as we didn't remember much if anything of the movie. Thoroughly enjoyed both performances from Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen and his big shotgun! Edited October 23 by Buckshot Bear 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Bullweed Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 I wished that the shotgun choice was more accurate. Hitting anyone within a building with an 8-ga would have made the room look like a tornado in a butcher's shop. Setting off 150+ grains of BP per shot would have blocked all filming and started climate change. Better early shotgun choices would have been a Colt Root revolving shotgun or a Spencer trombone (pump). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 (edited) I wrote a match, loosely based on the movie and we had a lot of fun with it. (Especially the Start Lines and the scenarios!!!) Edited October 24 by Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster Ron Wayne Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 I just watched it two weeks ago. I have always liked the move . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 The screenplay is pretty faithful to the original story. Rare, and enjoyable. Virgil and Everett are an inspired pairing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Have always hoped that Hollywood would turn another of Parker's Cole/Hitch novels into a movie (with Viggo M and Ed H. in same roles). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
