Just watched this movie, and I think it was great! Loved everything about about, well except one character getting killed, but I won't spoil it. Best 93 minutes I've spent on a day off. Good Acting, Great Set, and Super Costuming and make-up. Wish I could have jumped in with them all. Loved this movie and fixin' to see more from Travis Mills & Running Wild Farms. Yah, reckon that what Ima goin' do. Thank you so much for a great movie, and thanks to all who participated in its creation!!!!
That's great to hear you enjoyed the movie. I hope you enjoy some of the other 12 Westerns. Some good ones to check out are COUNTING BULLETS, TEXAS RED, BASTARD'S CROSSING, THE PLEASANT VALLEY WAR, THE WILDERNESS ROAD, and HEART OF THE GUN. - Travis Mills
If we were able to look back to all those that were hanged, I'm sure there would have been a few that were so scared that they caused quite the scene; a few more that were defiant until the last moment, and probably a few that tried to do everything they could to escape their ultimate end.
For all those arguing for a return to more robust "justice" and wider use of capital punishment, I will just add the words of Albert Pierrepoint, who stated that capital punishment "... is said to be a deterrent. I cannot agree. There have been murders since the beginning of time, and we shall go on looking for deterrents until the end of time. If death were a deterrent, I might be expected to know. It is I who have faced them last, young lads and girls, working men, grandmothers. I have been amazed to see the courage with which they take that walk into the unknown. It did not deter them then, and it had not deterred them when they committed what they were convicted for. All the men and women whom I have faced at that final moment convince me that in what I have done I have not prevented a single murder."
@@colinallen8924 that's what the appeal process is for. Paying to keep someone in prison is expensive. Prisons right now are overcrowded as is and people are literally walking the streets with blue warrants because there's nowhere to put them. I kid you not child molesters and murderers are walking free. That's what half measures get you.
@@runningwildfilms, like they all had washing machines? Have you ever washed your clothes in a river? Without detergent? Dried them on a clothesline? Clothes have a tendency to look faded and worn when done this way. They don't look like they're fresh out of a store.
@@roberthoisington8973 You sir are mistaken! First off, they always used soap to wash their clothes, usually home made lye soap. Second, nothing makes clothes look more worn than a dryer, and third, clothes were typically ironed, starched and brushed. Yes, I remember my mom washing clothes by hand, and I still own her scrub board. Most people wore their Sunday best to a hanging, just like you do to a funeral.
That's intentional. They're in town. They're town folks, not frontier people. Not everyone in the old West walked around dirty. That's a silly movie idea!
@@Dave-dp7zh Historically when there was the severe punishment that you are calling for, it didn’t always take a commensurate crime to trigger said punishment. Be careful what you wish for.
@@Dave-dp7zh possibly. OR, as was found through studies done in the 20th century, convictions become much less common, especially if the punishment does not, in the public's mind, fit the crime. Remember, the era you're pining for, had no such thing as "Mandatory Minimum Sentences" or "Plea Bargaining".
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. As the others have said, it's a lot more complicated than that. Yes, there are good things about severe punishment but it can be abused, like anything else. -Travis Mills
@@runningwildfilms ok I will explain the real problem. It comes from the question "what is justice." Does a murderer deserve his life when he took someone else's. And I'm not talking about self defense. In this era where a murderer can be set free because someone decided that he shouldn't sit behind bars while awaiting trial. Same goes with everything else,are we really making society a better place with easy sentences? Is it really justice to take a life in exchange for one. What is the true cost to society for all of this. Today we see a surge in crime, because OF soft on crime policies. We also see inequality not based on racial make up. But the power one wields in the halls of government. One can find studies to support their own opinion. But facts remain. If a society is soft on crime that society can expect more crime. But on the flip side harsh frontier justice didn't always work either. Personally I'm all for the death penalty, however with the caveat that it is incumbent upon law enforcement to make DAMN SURE they have the right perp before that justice unfolds. Regardless of race regardless of standing regardless of any other factors. Let the right man swing for that man's crime, Should someone like Ted Bundy or Samuel Little get to live out the rest of their lives with three hots and a cot on taxpayer money for the rest of their lives? All the while their victims are only give a box and a 6x3x6 pieces of ground to lay beneath.where is there justice I'm that? Death penalty for extreme crimes yeah 👍 but make sure you have the right person first not after 40 years or that person is dead
@@harry2928 You're good. Just wanted to make sure we don't go overboard y'know? You don't have to like anything. But when ya start attacking people that's doing the most so just wanted to make sure. God bless bro be safe.
We need a few of these old guys in New York now.
Haha sounds about right.
"It didn't work"
~ Albert Pierrpoint...basically.
Justice in the old days. Boy I bet that guy was relieved. Whew!!!!!
Haha yes. Close call! - Travis
Quote from the movie Buster Scruggs - "First time?"

Very interesting.
Thanks
Thank you. Did you watch the whole film? It's free on Tubi
Always found it strange how calm people were when about to be hanged. Maybe they thought they were going to heaven?
No, they knew it was a movie and they were not actually being hanged! Lol
Good point. Perhaps many were resigned to it however you've inspired me to think about having someone freak out the next time I do a scene like this.
If we were able to look back to all those that were hanged, I'm sure there would have been a few that were so scared that they caused quite the scene; a few more that were defiant until the last moment, and probably a few that tried to do everything they could to escape their ultimate end.
Shock
So how many people have you actually watch being hanged?

That's a fascinating quote. Interesting that our clip has inspired so much discussion about capital punishment. -Travis Mills
Fuck him, let them hang. The army's hanman who purposelty short dropped the nazis is my hero!
Gonna have to disagree here. People would not be repeat offenders like they are in this current time if they were gone.
@@zackswanson7188, then imprison them for life, unless you are happy to have the occasional "mistakes" where innocent people are executed.

So many people have such clean, new clothes.
They live in town. False to assume everyone in the West should be dirty

Maybe you should look at the case where people were dragged the the scaffold kicking and fighting.
Looks like everyone there is wearing clean, pressed clothes and hats fresh out of the costume truck. They didn’t even try to distress the clothes
That's intentional. They're in town. They're town folks, not frontier people. Not everyone in the old West walked around dirty. That's a silly movie idea!
@@runningwildfilms Besides which, people would dress up in their Sunday best to attend a hanging. Very much a picnic atmosphere.
How about the Man standing on the Church ´ s roof at the right side of the picture wig-waging waving?
Go figure. I’d been mad if in was in town waited to see that.
Haha very true
What’s the name of the movie please
She was the Deputy's Wife
Lucked out....
Yep!
A lot of chemtrails that day
Obviously cops have ALWAYS been jerks !!
Che culo !
He stole a few horses and he was going to be hanged for it, even in western movies, the american justice system is a joke 😂
If severe punishment was brought back instead of the namby pamby slaps on the wrist we have today there would be less crime.

corny cheap B- acting & a super lame beginner's script. some 'raw materials' coulda been used to make an actual movie but wasted.
Appreciate your words of encouragement!
