I just looked up William Smith. Good God, he did a lot with his life. Arm wrestling world champion, weight lifting champion, amateur boxer (31-1), martial artist, military veteran, bodybuilder, played semi-pro football, motocross, downhill skiing, masters degree, nearly a Ph.D, speaks at least 5 languages, great actor...and I'm sure there's lots more to this guy. Wow! Mad respect. He's 84 today, and I still wouldn't mess with him.
William Smith was a beast - pure body building perfection and an excellent martial artist. He was also multi-talented in many other areas. Because of his body building and martial arts, he was often overlooked for his acting ability. But the truth was that he was an excellent actor. His stage presence was magnificent. RIP William - the world has lost a truly talented and incredible person.
Well William Smith passed away today at the age of 88, from a young country man in Westerns to his most famous role in the movie. Thank You sir for the inspiration you gave this younger man back in my younger year’s to stay healthy & live a good life. RIP Sir & my sincere condolences to your entire family. You will truly be missed.
He was a beast in every sense. Great actor, great personality. An actor that I respect a lot. You ever see some old pictures of when he was a young man, he was like ripped , huge muscles..a pure beast.
Yeah, I’m just talking script wise, but they really liked each other and had a lot of respect for each other and I think that’s why he arranged to meet up with him when he was running to see if he liked him because he doesn’t want to hurt the people he likes.
@@johnherne8489 ... I think he was a Russian colonel in Red Dawn. Coincidentally, I'm watching Firefox right now. Even though Smith isn't in it, Clint has to speak Russian. He also does some fist action on the Russian pilot.
Bill Smith was a good friend of mine back in Venice beach in the mid 90’s through 2000’s when I moved to Vegas. He was everything everyone thought he was and more. The stories he told me were crazy. He loved to drink and have a good time. He had big hands and was nicknamed. The Burbank knuckle. Just a good person.
His toughest fight was with Rod Taylor in the movie ' Darker than Amber and it was for real Rod Taylor was one tough Aussie and so was William Smith R.i.p legit tough guys
July-2021 saw the passing of a legend in the entertainment industry and in life. R.I.P. William Smith.. and bless his wife Joanne. Bill will be dearly missed and never ever forgotten.
Better than Clint Eastward who always plays the same hero roles with dumb lines. He would beat Clint inside out and leave him for the Vultures. Than go have a cold beer. My kind of pal.
@tuco . Yes. He played the Russian Spetsnaz officer they flew in to hunt down the Wolverines. If you ever get a chance, check him out in an old biker movie called CC & Company.
My name is Amar , and William Smith (Bill) was my acting instructor . He wouldn't take a dime,.when he found out (from me )that my moms favorite movie Was rich man poor man, he gave her a Mother's Day call .He is extremely educated , still extremely built ,and one of the most caring persons I have ever known. Thanks for posting this .
@Utility Account IMDB says he retired in 2014. He and I have the same birthday, March 24. He is going to be 86 in 2019, but he is still the most interesting man in the world!
Same here man. My dad passed away four years ago at 82 from colon cancer. We watched a lot of these in his last seven months. He told me so many stories from his childhood and younger days, even talked about his service in Vietnam, and I told him about mine in Iraq and Afghanistan. My only regret is I didn’t record those conversations with him, I’d give anything to listen to them over and over.
Absolutely loved this movie as a kid. Miss that whole 70's era of "tough guy", man's man films. I will watch anything with Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds in it!
@@alienlife7754 I guess technically, this sequel came out in 1980, but the original and most of that genre was mainly throughout the early, to late-70's.
@@80steen44 What an odd segue? I'll let you in on a little secret. Men and women abusing their spouses and kids is more rampant today, than it ever was.
Nope. They call beating the shit out of each other, "squash" my brother and I called it, "putting up the ropes" the fights on. First one to yell, "ouch" loses
Except he wasn't a bad guy in this movie. The term anti-hero gets thrown around a lot these days for protagonists who do the right thing by the wrong methods. Smith might be an anti-villain here - he's the opponent of the hero, but he's never a bad person and in fact remains friends with the hero even after the fight.
Im blown away by this guy. I didnt know who he was, except e was Arny's dad in Conan, where he was PERFECT but could have easily been cast for a larger role. What a badass though. Makes all the other hollywood hardmen look like paper tigers.
This is part of what Bill Smith is like... “Smith’s time in the Air Force gave him other opportunities to push his body to the extreme. He was a light-heavyweight boxing champion, a champion discus thrower at UCLA, 2-time 200-lbs world arm wrestling champion, once reverse curled 163 lbs and did 5,100 continuous sit-ups. Bill trained Kenpo with instructor Ed Parker and also has a Black Belt in Kung Fu.” His boxing record is 32 fights with 31 wins and 1 loss. If all that isn’t enough, he speaks 5 languages and has a Bachelor’s and a Masters. Not really sure who is around today worth looking up to.
@America First Patriot definitely. One of those rare men with genuine presence. I saw him in a small part in The Mean Season and he was great. Even in something like Murder She Wrote, he was worth watching.
William Smith is a smart and tough guy...and, remarkable. Smith held the US Air Force Light-Heavyweight Weightlifting Championship; is fluent in English, Russian, German, French, and, Serbo-Croatian; competed as a downhill skier in AAU events at Mammoth Mountain; performed over 5,100 continuous sit-ups in over a five-hour period; two-time Arm Wrestling World Champion - 200-lb. class, Petaluma, CA; served in the US Air Force, and, National Security Agency Security Squadron 6907, during the Korean War; had a 31-1 record as an amateur boxer; has a Masters Degree in Russian and taught Russian Language Studies at UCLA in the late 1950s; competed in motocross events with Steve McQueen and doubled as one of the track riders in C.C. & Company (1970); lifetime Achievement Award from Academy of Bodybuilding and Fitness; played semi-pro football for the Wiesbaden Flyers in Germany; won a Muscle Beach contest by performing 35 inverted handstand dips; honorary member of the Stuntmen's Association of Motion Pictures; a direct descendant of Western figures Kit Carson and Daniel Boone; was personally offered the co-lead in "Enter the Dragon" (1973) by Bruce Lee, but, another film went over schedule and John Saxon stepped into the role; studied Kung Fu for eight years with Jimmy Woo and Kenpo Karate Master Ed Parker; filmed an eight-minute test pilot portraying 'Caine' for the TV series "Kung Fu" (1972), wearing prosthetic eyepieces to make him appear Chinese. The network wanted Smith for the role, but, producer, Jerry Thorpe, ultimately deemed him too muscular and menacing; training partner of first Mr. Olympia, Larry Scott; fought California wildfires in the early 1950s; worked as a lifeguard on the French Riviera; won the Light-Heavyweight German-Austrian Boxing Championship while in the service; was inducted into the Venice Muscle Beach Bodybuilding Hall of Fame 2010; graduated UCLA cum laude; etc. William Smith is pretty-much everything Steven Seagal 'claims' to be...except, Smith didn't marry a foreigner and leave the country to avoid the draft - then, divorce her and come back once the war was over! :D
I swear he had the most recognizable face - I grew up watching this man and never knew his name. Found out recently he was a great writer of poetry, and was highly educated, spoke several languages fluently, was a bodybuilder. Impressive.
He projected that in this role pretty well, honestly. For all the two dimensional characters that cropped up in the fights, he actually managed to be the best of them without a shred of machismo. Intimidating, but class. Competence without ego. Great character.
He did write lots of poetry. And would sit in the gym and recite it in between sets at the world gym. He was an awesome friend to me in my younger years.
That's what can happen if you will invest in yourself. You don't always have the same outcome, as the next person, but you will discover talents and develop abilities that you may have never thought you had.
Smith plays his role to perfection in this scene..charming and sinister in equal amounts. When he fights..he’s almost like a strange government project who arrives with unknown skill.
RIP William Smith one of the all time great bad guys and one of my favorites. I remember another quote he said about another one of my favorites. He said Dean Martin was one the nicest guys he ever met In Hollywood!
In my opinion, William Smith was one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood. He left a legacy that no actor will ever be able to come close to, for that I say Thank you.
I love how he was smiling and enjoying watching Philo fight, till he saw the knife come out, and then his expression became deadly serious fast.. Then he just destroyed them without trying.. That was a bad ass dude..
@@Rodshark75 ... Until the knife appeared, the good ol' boys were unconcerned with Mr. Wilson, thinking he was nothing since he was easily punched out of the action. Philo took over, as designed, allowing Jack to learn about his opponent. The knife allowed Philo to learn about his opponent. Definitely concerned Philo. Much more than the entire Black Widow motorcycle club.
RIP Mr. Smith. A truly gifted and talented individual in many respects. This scene is incredible. Smith enjoying watching Philo work and you can tell he's impressed with his friends skill/ability. Then, watch his expression change in a split second when the guy pulls the knife. Brilliant acting/timing. Then, he goes to work. However, what I loved about Smith's character is you can tell he's really very gentle and kind and doesn't actually like hurting people unless he has to. As he says to Clint in this scene. He comes across as a gentleman and you can see that there is genuine respect/warmth between the two characters. Smith adds those qualities to this character in such a way that you genuinely like him (even though he's supposed to be the 'bad guy'). That's impressive because, let's face it, with movies like this the bad guy doesn't get a lot to work with and they are often very 1 dimensional. To me that is what makes this performance so good.
Although one of the greatest character actors of all time William Smith was essentially playing himself in this movie, by & large. And that's just fine. Yet he was also a chameleon who could act superbly.
Smith respecting Philo's abilities is one reason why he's so good. If you don't respect your opponent's abilities and skill, you might end up paying for it.
Clint misses no one. The guy who wrote the script for this movie had to force Eastwood to pay him in court. Clint's all business and he never saw the writer again. Clint's too busy to get nostalgic for anyone.
I remember William Smith best for the role he played in the late 70s mini series “ Rich Man, Poor Man. “ He was always great at playing the villain, especially in that series. He was frighteningly convincing. And that show really helped in putting Nick Nolte into the limelight as well.
Me too....Falconetti character scared me to death as a child and I am now nearly 65. No other character in film nor TV ever impacted upon me more than Falconetti.
@@BrianVincent-gz2dqyeah I'm about 2 years older than you and falconetti was my best TV villain however my best overall villain rather television or movies would have to be Andy Robinson who played the Psychopathic killer Scorpio on the first Dirty Harry😮
@@BrianVincent-gz2dq you're exactly the same age as my younger brother and he never haunted us we grew up with guys like him and we loved villains we used to crack up at him with the cocky walk in the way he swung his arms and the way he told the black guy I'm going to be your new Daddy. I personally thought that s h i t was hilarious and so did my brother hahaha I'm sorry but you're not fruit are you?
William Smith: The real deal. A real man's man tough nut. Would have killed to have been able to buy him a beer and get just 10 minutes of his time. A giant among men and whose like will never be seen again.
Well, I know this much. Back in his prime, if I'd ever have been in a barfight, I sure as hell would rather have had him in my corner than just about anybody else. Am posting on February 11, 2021. He'll be 88 next month.
In response to "When men were allowed to be men..." This is how we did it back in the day. You'd get frustrated with each other, punch each other in the head a few times and then go out and have a beer together. No guns, no knives, no sticks, just good old-fashioned fists. ...and then it was over! Much better times.
@amoskowitz0103 - That's exactly right! Even as children, back in the day, we'd handle our own issues, even with fists if necessary. Parents and teachers may break us up, but, it usually ended there, or, continued in private. It was stupid for parents to really get involved in "kids' shit" because their arguing and resentment would go on and on, for years sometimes. They may even forget why they dislike each other over a simple kiddie argument!?!? Whereas us kids would be friends, or, friends again, in a few minutes, once we'd settled or differences. Pansy-asses ruined that by teaching children to "go and tell on them." Be the schoolyard rat, the sissy, ultimately, the victim.
^^^@amoskowitz0103 .. I was a Brawler in My Younger Year's Fresh out Of Boxing at Junior High, Me and a Friend Got Involved in a Bar Fight With 15 Individual's Led by a White Boy Whom was The Ring Leader, After Decking a Few Fellas My Focus Was On This White Cat (No Racialism Intended) Me and This Guy Had a Full On Ding Dong With Each Other Until The Police Turned Up and Broke up The Brawl anyway's They Let Me and My Buddy Who Did Very Well in The Brawl Go and Arrested Those Guy's as Explained By The Bar Tender Who Actually Started The Whole Ruckus, About a Month or So Later I Was Walking to a Another Favorite Bar One Night when a Car Door Opened Much Like The Car In The Warrior's Movie Where That Shit Head Taunt's The Warrior's at Coney Island, and I Heard a Voice Say Get in, I Was Like Very Hesitant But Bein' The Tough Guy I Was I Obliged and Got in And To My Total Surprise it Was The Guy I Had a Fist Fight With a Month Earlier and I Thought Oh My I'm Gone Got Shot or Stabbed or Somethin' But No The Guy Who Introduced Himself to Me As Curly, Simply Wanted to Be Friend's and Chat, And From That Moment on Curly and I Became Great Friend's, Meeting and Greeting Each Other Whenever We Crossed Path's, Moral of This Story is Like You Say Amos Get in a Bar Brawl Win or Lose and Get on With Life and Maybe Meet a New Friend Out of it All :D] .v ..
William Smith didn't just act the tough guy, he was a true hero in every sense of the word. And by all accounts he was a genuine good guy also. Truly a man deserving of all admiration and respect.
William Smith was the perfect casting in this film. He was thoroughly convincing as a bare knuckle fighter, and if anybody could possibly beat Clint's Philo Beddoe, it was Smith's Jack Wilson. Top bloke!
William is the very rare actor, that you did not need to know his name to instantly recognize him, stop channel changing and watch him work. I have seen this guy in movies for the last 40 years, but did not know his name. That is the ultimate respect from a fan to an actors work.
I'll never understand why William Smith did not become a big star, he was one of the most intimidating tough guy actors of the 1970s and 80s, he should have been right up there with Charles Bronson. Maybe he never got the right part in the right movie. He made one real attempt to become more successful when he produced and starred in a low budget thriller in the mid 1980s which was called Death Threat. The movie wasn't great and it went straight to video.without ever being released in cinema's. I like Clint Eastwood but every time I see this fight scene I keep thinking about what big Bill Smith would have done to Clint in a real fight! In any case it looks like us old timers are the only ones who remembers William Smith now and it's a pity.
SAME HERE my dad was a big man very clint eastwood looking and a prison body builder im actually named audie after audie murphy my dad loved movies i always remeber wanting my dad to kick his face in i couldnt take my eyes of it strange strange looking man one of those men when you as another man see a ldy on his arm you scratch your head and ponder WTF
I remember watching these movies as a kid, sound effects and the fist to the cameras were awesome. Eastwood was such a badass in my childhood. Off the subject, didn't realize how much I miss regular Michelob in those tan, teardrop bottles. You can't even get that beer anymore, was so dam tasty!
i like how its not that they are afraid of each other, they just know what it would take to put the other down and dont want to go that far for their mutual respect
LOL…No kidding, huh? William Smith is a phenomenal person. I keep working out trying to get his physique, but I can't get close. But what an amazing life he has led. And yeah, he had to have been one of the toughest Hollywood actors out there…..Tex Cobb would have been another badass -- a real fighter with a chin of steel...
skirts365 late Rod Taylor might had been a challenge for Smith too...he said he was the toughest guy he fought and the famous Darker than Amber fight was real,Taylor broke Smith s 3 ribs and Smith in return busted Taylor nose
Two of the few actors in history who you really wouldn't want to mess with in real life...a few more come to mind; Chuck Connors, Lee Van Cleef, Lee Marvin, Charlie Bronson.
I have just read William Smith bio and am not surprised. The man was superhuman before he started to act. I am pushing 60 years old and have watched his performances for years as a young man. This is what a true actor should be. I wish Mr smith could write a how to manual for all these young wanna-be tough guys. He always had the aura of Extreme Menace or caged violence and you never knew when he would unleash it. What a Great Man. RH DSD
If you read his biography, he is a man of many talents - not at all the prototypical one-dimensional movie star. Seems like a class act, too, which is a rarity these days.
When I was a kid and I saw this for the first time, I loved that scene, too. I thought it was cool that the bad guy wasn't actually that bad and they turned out to be good friends. That was pretty neat back in the day! Still pretty great today!
I remember watching these movies with my uncle or grandfather. Both of them loved Eastwood, and Norris, and Bronson movies. My grandfather used to tape the A-Team. lol. I love and miss them both. And i'm sure they are up there still watching from time to time.
he should have kicked Clints ass.. the leg work alone is a huge advantage, then add the killer instinct this scene shows.. Clint punched but William mamed.. I miss these old movies.
I miss the days of good ol' fashion bar fights. None of this gang crap where everybody seems to look for some way to get their 10 buddies involved and wait by your car. Just lick your wounds and have a beer together afterwards and call in a night.
+gutz1981 lol where did you grow up>? my old man got into 5 v5 fights... people still got beat badly... only difference was the guns weren't brought out unless it was serious.
Good bar brawl fight scene,Clint Eastwood is as always awesome,best Bar Brawl film is from 1989,Roadhouse,starred the late Patrick Swayze who in real life was a Black Belt in martial arts.
I just looked up William Smith. Good God, he did a lot with his life. Arm wrestling world champion, weight lifting champion, amateur boxer (31-1), martial artist, military veteran, bodybuilder, played semi-pro football, motocross, downhill skiing, masters degree, nearly a Ph.D, speaks at least 5 languages, great actor...and I'm sure there's lots more to this guy. Wow! Mad respect. He's 84 today, and I still wouldn't mess with him.

Except he wasn't a bad guy in this movie. The term anti-hero gets thrown around a lot these days for protagonists who do the right thing by the wrong methods. Smith might be an anti-villain here - he's the opponent of the hero, but he's never a bad person and in fact remains friends with the hero even after the fight.

“Smith’s time in the Air Force gave him other opportunities to push his body to the extreme. He was a light-heavyweight boxing champion, a champion discus thrower at UCLA, 2-time 200-lbs world arm wrestling champion, once reverse curled 163 lbs and did 5,100 continuous sit-ups. Bill trained Kenpo with instructor Ed Parker and also has a Black Belt in Kung Fu.”
His boxing record is 32 fights with 31 wins and 1 loss. If all that isn’t enough, he speaks 5 languages and has a Bachelor’s and a Masters.
Not really sure who is around today worth looking up to.
@Natty For life one of those larger than life characters. He will definitely be missed.
@America First Patriot definitely. One of those rare men with genuine presence. I saw him in a small part in The Mean Season and he was great. Even in something like Murder She Wrote, he was worth watching.
Tales, all tales ,just beautiful tall tales ...
@@juanarroyo9459 please elaborate…..
@@juanarroyo9459 what are you talking about? So William Smith’s life is a “tall tale”???
William Smith passed away on July 5th, 2021. Rest in Peace.
So sad he was an amazing actor a bit underrated he deserved more.
Oh damn I wasn’t aware of that, RIP William.
Tough guy and a physical specimen. RIP Sir.
So sad
Check William Smith's bio on IMDB. He was the real-life Superman.
RIP William Smith. You were great!
still is great
Just heard about Bill Smith passing earlier this month. I always liked him. I can't imagine a better actor to play opposite Clint. Rest In Peace.
William Smith is a smart and tough guy...and, remarkable.
Smith held the US Air Force Light-Heavyweight Weightlifting Championship; is fluent in English, Russian, German, French, and, Serbo-Croatian; competed as a downhill skier in AAU events at Mammoth Mountain; performed over 5,100 continuous sit-ups in over a five-hour period; two-time Arm Wrestling World Champion - 200-lb. class, Petaluma, CA; served in the US Air Force, and, National Security Agency Security Squadron 6907, during the Korean War; had a 31-1 record as an amateur boxer; has a Masters Degree in Russian and taught Russian Language Studies at UCLA in the late 1950s; competed in motocross events with Steve McQueen and doubled as one of the track riders in C.C. & Company (1970); lifetime Achievement Award from Academy of Bodybuilding and Fitness; played semi-pro football for the Wiesbaden Flyers in Germany; won a Muscle Beach contest by performing 35 inverted handstand dips; honorary member of the Stuntmen's Association of Motion Pictures; a direct descendant of Western figures Kit Carson and Daniel Boone; was personally offered the co-lead in "Enter the Dragon" (1973) by Bruce Lee, but, another film went over schedule and John Saxon stepped into the role; studied Kung Fu for eight years with Jimmy Woo and Kenpo Karate Master Ed Parker; filmed an eight-minute test pilot portraying 'Caine' for the TV series "Kung Fu" (1972), wearing prosthetic eyepieces to make him appear Chinese.

William Smith is pretty-much everything Steven Seagal 'claims' to be...except, Smith didn't marry a foreigner and leave the country to avoid the draft - then, divorce her and come back once the war was over! :D
@Bmk Bmk RIP?? You kiddin'? He is still flexin' it in SoCal.
@Tp. 2666 I have the dvd set of that, he's great in that but a right git in it.
I read somewhere he works high up in the US government behind the scenes.
Ive been a William Smith fan since I was a teenager ,Im 65 now.
@Bmk Bmk Not dead.
William Smith was always the best thing in every project he did. A great, great performer.
I agree...
Unless Clint Eastwood was in it
I swear he had the most recognizable face - I grew up watching this man and never knew his name. Found out recently he was a great writer of poetry, and was highly educated, spoke several languages fluently, was a bodybuilder. Impressive.
William smith is wilson????the guy with mustache?
He projected that in this role pretty well, honestly. For all the two dimensional characters that cropped up in the fights, he actually managed to be the best of them without a shred of machismo. Intimidating, but class. Competence without ego. Great character.
He did write lots of poetry. And would sit in the gym and recite it in between sets at the world gym. He was an awesome friend to me in my younger years.
That's what can happen if you will invest in yourself. You don't always have the same outcome, as the next person, but you will discover talents and develop abilities that you may have never thought you had.
You were most fortunate, IRISH4486... @@IRISH4486
Smith plays his role to perfection in this scene..charming and sinister in equal amounts.
When he fights..he’s almost like a strange government project who arrives with unknown skill.
Two legends, legendary movie, legendary scene.
RIP William Smith one of the all time great bad guys and one of my favorites. I remember another quote he said about another one of my favorites. He said Dean Martin was one the nicest guys he ever met In Hollywood!
Yes, two great guys !
Had the pleasure of meeting William Smith a few times. He was an amazing individual on so many levels, and just a great guy on top of it all.
In my opinion, William Smith was one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood. He left a legacy that no actor will ever be able to come close to, for that I say Thank you.
Great job in Rich Man, Poor Man..
True, and he could be (acting) really scary as in 'The Last Warrior' with You Brynner ' 'Togeeeeeether!' -
I love how he was smiling and enjoying watching Philo fight, till he saw the knife come out, and then his expression became deadly serious fast.. Then he just destroyed them without trying.. That was a bad ass dude..
Fisttocuffs in a barfight is just good clean fun... but once you pull a weapon, time to get serious.
@@Rodshark75 ... Until the knife appeared, the good ol' boys were unconcerned with Mr. Wilson, thinking he was nothing since he was easily punched out of the action. Philo took over, as designed, allowing Jack to learn about his opponent. The knife allowed Philo to learn about his opponent. Definitely concerned Philo. Much more than the entire Black Widow motorcycle club.
@@Rodshark75 "Fisttocuffs"? Try Fisticuffs. You're welcome.👍
My undying respect to anyone who can disarm someone of a knife!
For god's sakes..its just a movie man.
RIP Mr. Smith. A truly gifted and talented individual in many respects. This scene is incredible. Smith enjoying watching Philo work and you can tell he's impressed with his friends skill/ability. Then, watch his expression change in a split second when the guy pulls the knife. Brilliant acting/timing. Then, he goes to work. However, what I loved about Smith's character is you can tell he's really very gentle and kind and doesn't actually like hurting people unless he has to. As he says to Clint in this scene. He comes across as a gentleman and you can see that there is genuine respect/warmth between the two characters. Smith adds those qualities to this character in such a way that you genuinely like him (even though he's supposed to be the 'bad guy'). That's impressive because, let's face it, with movies like this the bad guy doesn't get a lot to work with and they are often very 1 dimensional. To me that is what makes this performance so good.
Although one of the greatest character actors of all time William Smith was essentially playing himself in this movie, by & large. And that's just fine. Yet he was also a chameleon who could act superbly.
Smith respecting Philo's abilities is one reason why he's so good. If you don't respect your opponent's abilities and skill, you might end up paying for it.
He isn't really the bad guy though.
William Smith is a legend. This man was a Superman. He even spoke 5 languages as well as did everything else, and a wonderful human being.
I love this scene. Nothing but total respect for each other.
It was a pleasure watching you work.... same here!
I love mutual respect. Clint Eastwood and William Smith played great off of each other.
Indeed. great job by the both of them.
Rest in peace Mr. Smith.Truly one of the best action based actors of all time.
Anyone else grow up in the 80s and expect to get in way more bar fights?
Ha growing up in the seventies and eighties I expected all bars to be like this just from his movies.
@@RichWeigel I expected barfights and quicksand to be much more of a problem than they actually were
Mutual Respect between opposites in a barroom brawl, each while watching the others back. Watched the movie and loved it. Right turn Clyde!
Two incredible legends. I bet Clint misses that guy.
R.I.P. Mr. Smith.
Clint misses no one. The guy who wrote the script for this movie had to force Eastwood to pay him in court. Clint's all business and he never saw the writer again. Clint's too busy to get nostalgic for anyone.
@Russell Lamb - judging by various comments by other actors, and also Sondra Locke book - I doubt that Clint misses anybody at all.
At his age Clint misses a lot pf people !
Such a clever man and a fine actor . Rest in peace sir
I remember William Smith best for the role he played in the late 70s mini series “ Rich Man, Poor Man. “
He was always great at playing the villain, especially in that series. He was frighteningly convincing. And that show really helped in putting Nick Nolte into the limelight as well.
Me too....Falconetti character scared me to death as a child and I am now nearly 65.
No other character in film nor TV ever impacted upon me more than Falconetti.
@@BrianVincent-gz2dqyeah I'm about 2 years older than you and falconetti was my best TV villain however my best overall villain rather television or movies would have to be Andy Robinson who played the Psychopathic killer Scorpio on the first Dirty Harry😮
65 in April.
Falconetti always haunted me.
@@BrianVincent-gz2dq you're exactly the same age as my younger brother and he never haunted us we grew up with guys like him and we loved villains we used to crack up at him with the cocky walk in the way he swung his arms and the way he told the black guy I'm going to be your new Daddy. I personally thought that s h i t was hilarious and so did my brother hahaha I'm sorry but you're not fruit are you?
“It was a pleasure watching you work” one of the best lines ever!
William Smith: The real deal. A real man's man tough nut. Would have killed to have been able to buy him a beer and get just 10 minutes of his time. A giant among men and whose like will never be seen again.
Loved him in Laredo
He's still alive. If you can find him, buy him one for me!
I recently realized he was in wolverine's
Red dawn
Well, I know this much. Back in his prime, if I'd ever have been in a barfight, I sure as hell would rather have had him in my corner than just about anybody else. Am posting on February 11, 2021. He'll be 88 next month.
Just heard William Smith passed away on the 5th of this month. RIP Big Bill, there'll never be another one like you!
In response to "When men were allowed to be men..." This is how we did it back in the day. You'd get frustrated with each other, punch each other in the head a few times and then go out and have a beer together. No guns, no knives, no sticks, just good old-fashioned fists. ...and then it was over! Much better times.
@amoskowitz0103 - That's exactly right! Even as children, back in the day, we'd handle our own issues, even with fists if necessary. Parents and teachers may break us up, but, it usually ended there, or, continued in private. It was stupid for parents to really get involved in "kids' shit" because their arguing and resentment would go on and on, for years sometimes. They may even forget why they dislike each other over a simple kiddie argument!?!? Whereas us kids would be friends, or, friends again, in a few minutes, once we'd settled or differences. Pansy-asses ruined that by teaching children to "go and tell on them." Be the schoolyard rat, the sissy, ultimately, the victim.
Knife at 1:14. Neither you nor Philo saw this. Good thing Jack Wilson did.
APPARENTLY YOU DIDN’T SEE THE KJNOFE PULLED ON CLINT. GOOD THING JACK WAS THERE
^^^@amoskowitz0103 .. I was a Brawler in My Younger Year's Fresh out Of Boxing at Junior High, Me and a Friend Got Involved in a Bar Fight With 15 Individual's Led by a White Boy Whom was The Ring Leader, After Decking a Few Fellas My Focus Was On This White Cat (No Racialism Intended) Me and This Guy Had a Full On Ding Dong With Each Other Until The Police Turned Up and Broke up The Brawl anyway's They Let Me and My Buddy Who Did Very Well in The Brawl Go and Arrested Those Guy's as Explained By The Bar Tender Who Actually Started The Whole Ruckus, About a Month or So Later I Was Walking to a Another Favorite Bar One Night when a Car Door Opened Much Like The Car In The Warrior's Movie Where That Shit Head Taunt's The Warrior's at Coney Island, and I Heard a Voice Say Get in, I Was Like Very Hesitant But Bein' The Tough Guy I Was I Obliged and Got in And To My Total Surprise it Was The Guy I Had a Fist Fight With a Month Earlier and I Thought Oh My I'm Gone Got Shot or Stabbed or Somethin' But No The Guy Who Introduced Himself to Me As Curly, Simply Wanted to Be Friend's and Chat, And From That Moment on Curly and I Became Great Friend's, Meeting and Greeting Each Other Whenever We Crossed Path's, Moral of This Story is Like You Say Amos Get in a Bar Brawl Win or Lose and Get on With Life and Maybe Meet a New Friend Out of it All :D] .v ..
@@pfalky2k Haha.....everybody has a plan till they get punched in the face. "Mike Tyson"
one of the many brilliant facets of William Smith ... a truly remarkable man ... eternal Blessings !!!
William Smith didn't just act the tough guy, he was a true hero in every sense of the word. And by all accounts he was a genuine good guy also. Truly a man deserving of all admiration and respect.
William Smith was the perfect casting in this film. He was thoroughly convincing as a bare knuckle fighter, and if anybody could possibly beat Clint's Philo Beddoe, it was Smith's Jack Wilson. Top bloke!
Absolutely
i heard don stroud was considered for the part too
William was a hell of a actor. Very underrated
William is the very rare actor, that you did not need to know his name to instantly recognize him, stop channel changing and watch him work. I have seen this guy in movies for the last 40 years, but did not know his name. That is the ultimate respect from a fan to an actors work.
BigBlueMSP he is still alive be 84 years old this year
Great in red dawn
He was fluent in Russian and taught it at a college. Also had a black belt degree. Not your standard walk on actor.
He was also antagonist Falconetti from the rich man/poor man series with Nick Nolte,Peter Strauss and Edward Asner!
Total admiration and respect from Philo and Wilson. Even instant friendship
Worthy opponents in each others eyes
Tremendous scene…..William Smith…….the legend ❤
"You play a hell of a game of squash.." Gotta love Eastwood.
He's got a lot of great one liners in his movies.
When William Smith says, and I quote."Ya like Pain, Ya eat it like Candy." He's just TOO COOL.
@Jethro Derp I ain't most
Love the mutual respect two old pros show each other. They'll play squash together, but it's not personal.
I'll never understand why William Smith did not become a big star, he was one of the most intimidating tough guy actors of the 1970s and 80s, he should have been right up there with Charles Bronson. Maybe he never got the right part in the right movie. He made one real attempt to become more successful when he produced and starred in a low budget thriller in the mid 1980s which was called Death Threat. The movie wasn't great and it went straight to video.without ever being released in cinema's. I like Clint Eastwood but every time I see this fight scene I keep thinking about what big Bill Smith would have done to Clint in a real fight! In any case it looks like us old timers are the only ones who remembers William Smith now and it's a pity.
I agree with you 100%. He's still alive and kicking.
I'm 36 and I remember. How dare you call me an old timer!
Perhaps the fact that bastard shot miss kitty in the back came back to haunt him. 😄😅
Tim mcCaffrey there are still those of us to look up great men like him. The world still needs heroes.
Yeah..good comment, he was an intimidating guy who never got an starring roll in any important movie..
Awesome, awesome, awesome. The respect for each other. The friendship out of the rivalry. The Gentleman's Creed. Awesome, awesome, awesome.
This guy intimidated the bejesus out of me as a young kid ! Dude just looked tough as nails !
If his physique didn't scare everything out of you that could be scared out of a person, his voice sure would!
You ain't kiddin'! Falconetti in Rich Man Poor Man terrified me.
He could make fear itself quiver with fear!
When he stabs Nick Nolte's character to death in "Rich Man, Poor Man".
ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTORS.
That’s what this generation is missing and will never understand.
William Smith is still alive. He is 83 now. Clint Eastwood is 86.
as a 70s80s child i always was obsessed with his WEIRD ASS FACE couldn't get over how annoying he looks
@@victwenty2324 I agree! There is just something very bothersome and artificial about his face. Can't stand looking at it, even to this day!
SAME HERE my dad was a big man very clint eastwood looking and a prison body builder im actually named audie after audie murphy my dad loved movies i always remeber wanting my dad to kick his face in i couldnt take my eyes of it strange strange looking man one of those men when you as another man see a ldy on his arm you scratch your head and ponder WTF
@@victwenty2324 His face never bothered me but he does kinda have that Mickey Rourke thing going on.
@@coolcat6303 Sondra Locke-Homewrecker supreme!!
I remember watching these movies as a kid, sound effects and the fist to the cameras were awesome. Eastwood was such a badass in my childhood.
Off the subject, didn't realize how much I miss regular Michelob in those tan, teardrop bottles. You can't even get that beer anymore, was so dam tasty!
So do I.. my favorite brew way back when 😁
Michelob was Anheuser-Busch's step up from Budweiser.
It was good it was my favorite also I sure miss it
Such an iconic classic movie!!!
William Smith, one of the best heavy's Hollywood ever had. One scary dude.
Two legends. I miss the good old days.
i like how its not that they are afraid of each other, they just know what it would take to put the other down and dont want to go that far for their mutual respect
Two absolute legends and at 56 I’m still scared of them both 👍
William Smith never won a fight against a hollywood hero. In real life he would have won them all easily lol
LOL…No kidding, huh? William Smith is a phenomenal person. I keep working out trying to get his physique, but I can't get close. But what an amazing life he has led. And yeah, he had to have been one of the toughest Hollywood actors out there…..Tex Cobb would have been another badass -- a real fighter with a chin of steel...
skirts365 Yeah, but Smith had fighting skill and brawn, so I don't think Clint Walker would have troubled him too much….
skirts365 late Rod Taylor might had been a challenge for Smith too...he said he was the toughest guy he fought and the famous Darker than Amber fight was real,Taylor broke Smith s 3 ribs and Smith in return busted Taylor nose
He also lost to Kwai Chang Caine in a memorable episode of Kung Fu.
Not sure whether Grasshopper could have beaten him in a real fight.
Dimitris dm ha you read that to. I’ve watched that fight numerous times, I mean damn.
Sondra Locke's portrayal here of someone who can't sing a note is truly masterful.
Now that's funny.
She was probably only a master while on her knees or back......
She was good in Sudden Impact and Outlaw Josey Wales but otherwise couldn’t act her way out of a paper box.
She was once described by a film critic as being "remarkably untalented."
She gave an excellent portrayal of a movie producer's girlfriend.
Two of the few actors in history who you really wouldn't want to mess with in real life...a few more come to mind; Chuck Connors, Lee Van Cleef, Lee Marvin, Charlie Bronson.
You mean the corpses of Chuck Connors, Lee Van Cleef, Lee Marvin & Charles Bronson.
Good selection!
Don't forget Jack Palance, he also was a tough bastard in real life.
And me
I heard Robert Mitchum and Errol Flynn were real life tough guys.
Smith was a true badness he'll be missed Hollywood needs more like him REAL MEN
Christ,there must have been fighting every night when she started singing,lol.
😃😃😃🍺
Patronage would just dry up.
Brian, you sir are no gentleman!
YES FIGHTING FOR THE LAST PAIR OF EAR DEFENDERS EH BRIAN
Lol no shit. What is funny is that if there was a piano up there Philo/Eastwood could have gone up there and actually produced good music.
That Eastwood Left.
Never fails.
Rest in Perfect Peace William Smith 🙏 Good actor since my childhood
I have just read William Smith bio and am not surprised. The man was superhuman before he started to act. I am pushing 60 years old and have watched his performances for years as a young man. This is what a true actor should be. I wish Mr smith could write a how to manual for all these young wanna-be tough guys. He always had the aura of Extreme Menace or caged violence and you never knew when he would unleash it. What a Great Man. RH DSD
If you read his biography, he is a man of many talents - not at all the prototypical one-dimensional movie star. Seems like a class act, too, which is a rarity these days.
DIOSpeedDemon “Invasion of The Bee Girls”?
I read his Bio too, quite impressive. Some one I don't plan on getting into a fight with. any time soon.
DIOSpeedDemon “The Invasion of The Bee Girls”, Bill Smith, two hours of boner girls and stupidity?
I watched that one too, a bad B movie.
William Smith is as legitimate as it will ever get……his background is fascinating.
When I was a kid and I saw this for the first time, I loved that scene, too. I thought it was cool that the bad guy wasn't actually that bad and they turned out to be good friends. That was pretty neat back in the day! Still pretty great today!
Love the mutual respect these two characters had for each other.
“Complaint department is open now Sonny”
“You play one hell of a game of squash”
Great lines
I remember watching these movies with my uncle or grandfather. Both of them loved Eastwood, and Norris, and Bronson movies. My grandfather used to tape the A-Team. lol. I love and miss them both. And i'm sure they are up there still watching from time to time.
William Smith -- one legitimate tough guy.
Yeah he looks like he can whoop some ass
he should have kicked Clints ass.. the leg work alone is a huge advantage, then add the killer instinct this scene shows.. Clint punched but William mamed.. I miss these old movies.
Classic- you forgot to mention that Chuck Norris tips his hat to William Smith, and Chuck Norris tips his hat to No Man....
William Smith will never have a near-death experience, but how many millions of times has death had a near-William Smith experience?
Also, William Smith has counted to infinity and back-twice! He also slams revolving doors for kicks.
Wow, great scene - two old school tough guys, and hell of a song too!
Love this movie and Every which way you can since I was a child, Rest in peace William Smith and Long live Clint Eastwood!
One of the Best Movies there is.
Love It.
lol...great scene but the heckler was right....Sondra Locke couldn't hold a tune if it had handles.
heard better singers kicked out of 1st round of X factor!and thats the ones that sound like cats being murdered! :)
steve fowler sondra locke couldn't hold a tune of she had sure-grip gloves on..even if there were actual acting lessons offered as reward.
She is awful. Awful singer. Awful actress. Awful looking. Eastwood saw something in her though.
@yortzandat That could very well be.
Thats not polite
He was my greatest role model. CC and Company, and Chrome and Hot Leather movies. He was my great mentor.
Two of my favorite actors in one of my favorite movies....awesome!
I miss the days of good ol' fashion bar fights. None of this gang crap where everybody seems to look for some way to get their 10 buddies involved and wait by your car. Just lick your wounds and have a beer together afterwards and call in a night.
+gutz1981 lol where did you grow up>? my old man got into 5 v5 fights... people still got beat badly... only difference was the guns weren't brought out unless it was serious.
***** number 1 golden rule in a fight.NEVER throw the 1st punch.I'll throw the next however many though
+Patrick Saxon yep, I'm the same way. my manhood took quite a bit of bruising but no pain, my gain.
***** you've contradicted yourself
back when you could whip a man's ass and just dust yourself off and NOT worry bout being sued
Loved this film as a kid. Still do.
Eastwood will always be a legend.
@John Stanley - Movie legend definitely. Outside of that? Not so much.
Good bar brawl fight scene,Clint Eastwood is as always awesome,best Bar Brawl film is from 1989,Roadhouse,starred the late Patrick Swayze who in real life was a Black Belt in martial arts.
Read about William Smith's life. It's incredibly fascinating.
You are the choice to Jake 😎
