Alpo Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I don't understand "the big reveal". In the trailer they say his name is Henry McCarty. Am I the only one that knew that that was Billy the Kid's real name? Or least wise, one of the names he used. Don't nobody read history anymore?

Buckshot Bob Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Maybe after I watch the movie I’ll feel different. But when I look at the picture for the start of the trailer I posted I keep seeing Buster Scruggs after a long night of drinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I watched it tonight, and enjoyed it. Not a blockbuster, but a solid, serviceable Western. There are a lot of Westerns being made again, it seems, which is great news. May even help CAS among the young in the long run.... Looked up the flic on Wikipedia and it talks about how Nelson worked several months to get ready for the role, including intensive gun handling skills. I can think of a different actor who could have used that kind of education..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he gives his name at the beginning of the movie, I would guess anyone that’s a member of this forum gets it at that point. It’s a good movie, that could have been a great movie with a little better writing. The actors and special effects people certainly did their part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep , that’s Alpo’s disappointment with the big reveal. I guess my disappointment is they could have done so much more with the storyline. The shootout scenes are very good. I’m also thinking that if Billy the kid had survived his encounter with Pat Garret , when he went to start his new life he wouldn’t have used his name or any of his aliases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 'Course not. After surviving the shootout with Pat Garrett, by not being there, he lived out the rest of his life under the name of Brushy Bill Roberts. Didn't any of y'all watch Young Guns?

The Billy the Kid idea was a little far-fetched, but not the idea that the seeming sodbuster had a gunfighter past, and tweren't to be messed with ultimately.

Choctaw Jack Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 To my recollection, the DNA tests done on Brushy Bill's descendants were "Inconclusive " as to his claim to be Billy the Kid. I've always wondered why Bill Robert's was so eager to be recognized as Billy. Billy was being held on an open count of murder when he escaped, and since there is no statute of limitations on that charge ,couldn't he still be prosecuted ? Just a thought Choctaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t know that and hadn’t watched it yet but it’s on my list…although now you have ruined this uneducated persons surprise. I won’t be as disappointed as the girl in high school that I took to the movie “The Titanic”…she didn’t think it would sink in a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Watched it last night and really enjoyed it. The gunfight scenes were solid and believable.

Rye Miles #13621 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 They should have made the character a fictional dude, You know some old washed up gunfighter or something. Why use a real historical person. It seems so silly to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes , take its for what it is a what if type , I picked up on the kid right off , Its still better than 90 % of the crap coming out today half the people that would argue historical facts would say the Saloon #10 has Hickoks death chair . So a western entertainment Movie yes worth the watch enjoy it for what it is . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 One of the things that struck me was how believable Tim Blake Nelson’s appearance was as an aging Billy Bonny!! The similarities in face and build were remarkable! And yeah!! With the past controversy surrounding the death of Billy the Kid, the “what if” offers a great perspective.
