One of the best in a Western, certainly. A strong flavor of realism in this one from Appaloosa. I really liked the shootout in Open Range too. I've watched both movies many times. I'd vote for the bank heist gone wrong street shootout in Heat for a non Western gunfight rivaled only by the street shootout in Den of Theives Way of the Gun gets my vote for best neo-Western shootout. And for war movies... where to start. But back to Appaloosa. Guns in hand, cocked, facing each other almost gentlemanly but with the knowledge one of them was about to die. You could see the loss of ego in Bragg's face after Hitch bitchslapped him and told him the bartender has a gun for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a couple of good ones earlier in the movie. I’ll have to go back to Appaloosa. Haven’t watched that in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always agree to overlook that a bit; permissible artistic license-- this time, I think. Great gunfight! Just watched Old Henry again; inspired by the discussion in another thread here. Very good gunfight there. Among the old classic set-piece gunfights is Randolph Scott and Joel McCrea against the wicked Hammond brothers at the end of Ride the High Country. A good one.

Tall Tale Todd Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I love Appaloosa and I love that scene. However, my vote for best gunfight would the be the one at the beginning in the saloon, followed by the one at the jail when Bragg gets away.

Yea a little confusing Clint Eastwood had a western few years back. Unforgiven. And people would frequently talk about that new Clint Eastwood movie, The Unforgiven. The Unforgiven is Audie Murphy and Audrey Hepburn. Still a western, but a totally different flick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Got Appaloosa and Open Range on my shelf waiting their turn. Just ordered Den of Thieves. Couldn't find heat. I'll enter the whole bevy of gunfights, almost all at the same time, inSilverado. Another one, where almost nothing is actually seen, is the one at the beginning of The Life And Times Of Judge Roy Bean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Just finished watching Appaloosa. One o the better westerns in my estimation. Don't know how I missed it for 24 years. Someone needs to feed Ed Harris a lot more material and let him run with it. Not many errors, but only one stands out: when Virgil is shot and his girlfriend runs across dirt plaza in a western town someone, apparently named Foley, thought it should should like she was running on a board walk. Aside from that, I can forgive the very few errors in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Just finished Open Range. Good story but a lot a garbage mixed in. I'll never cease to be amazed at how much damage a .44 ot .45 bullet can cause and I shot 12 gauge guns most of my life and never caused the havoc that those guns did I can't put my mark on it as one of the great gunfights, but if you can overlook the BS it wasn't bad. BRW, I warchrd Old Henry last night and that one's a keeper, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
