- Following a theme I have already made a video on.
Westerns and action definitely go together, just like cowboys and cows.
It’s hard to think of a John Wayne, Clint Eastwood or almost all A-lister Western lead actors westerns that didn't at some point set the screen on fire with gunfire, explosions or some impressive action sequence. Let’s have some fun today and revisit some of the best!

Here are some of my favorites in no particular order: 1: Fort Bowie: Why? Ben Johnson on a horse in a battle scene catapulting into the fort. 2: Two For Texas; ( TV) Why? The Battle of San Jacinto brilliantly done. 3: Major Dundee. 4: Vera Cruz. 5: The Command. Somewhat obscure Guy Madison film based on an actual Congressional Medal of Honor winner.
With a topic like this the list is endless, great choices.
Hey, thanks!
THE WILD BUNCH 1969,,HELL YEAH
I have it in many of my videos on my channel
This is an interesting post, but to even mention a pile of horse-dung like The Magnificent Seven remake is an insult to both the Sturges and Kurosawa films and the superlative Wild Bunch and Open Range. Costner's underrated masterpiece will be seen as a classic in a few more years. We CARE about the characters, just like we care about the Bunch despite their flaws. Fuqua's senseless waste of celluloid is flashy and empty. A re-assessment of Heaven's Gate is long-overdue. Well done! The Long Riders is another unfairly neglected oater.
Don't be pompous. We all have different tastes.
I'm glad you acknowledge Heaven's Gate. I've seen it on the big screen, full version several times and absolutely love it. My favourite all time action scene in a western is the finale of The wild Bunch. Does the end of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly count as Action as only two shots fired? The Magnificent Seven remake was crap though
Great shootouts and action scenes for sure. Glad you included the shootout in 'Open Range'. Always a favorite of mine. Although the knife fight scene in 'The Long Riders' is memorable, the failed bank robbery shootout and escape from Northfield is an action scene classic.
It's unfortunate that you can only choose one per film. The shootout during the botched bank robbery/ambush in The Long Riders is great. Also, the epic final gun battle in The Wild bunch...
I have those in some of my other videos in my channel. Several times.
Love John Russel!
I was expecting a clip from the first Magnificent Seven with Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen, plenty of great action there. Overall pics, pretty fair.
Best shoot out is the last one in the Wild Bunch.
I like the choices.
I tend to favor action scenes with great emotional or creative content (not just bloody shootouts).
Some that come to mind:
1. The revolvers clicking on empty cylinders near the end of The Outlaw Josie Wales.
2. The dream-like scene of Little Big Man leading his blind (invisible!) grandfather away from the cavalry massacre (also the shooting of his wife and baby).
3. The cat fight in the saloon in Destry Rides Again. Also, the end fight between the townsfolk and the bad guys.
4. Any fight scene with Jackie Chan in Shanghai Noon.
I did not like Little Big Man. Along with McCabe and Mrs Miller my picks as the most overrated westerns ever.
@@davidbrown386 Can you be more specific?
Those two movies are considered classics. In Fact McCabe and Mrs. Miller made the AFI top westerns list. But I did not like either movie. Especially McCabe and Mrs. Miller. There are 5 actresses I cannot stand and Julie Christie is one of them. Others? Miriam Hopkins, Katherine Hepburn, Honor Blackman and above all Kay Francis.
@@davidbrown386So you didn't like Katherine Hepburn in Bringing Up Baby, The Philadelphia Story, or The Amazon Queen?
I know those movies are classics but none of those movies are favorites of mine. Long Lost Father ( because of John Barrymore) is the closest to a Hepburn movie I enjoyed. Some of the actresses I do like? Myrna Loy ( I have seen over 70 films of hers), Sophia Loren, Irene Dunne, Kim Basinger, Veronica Lake, Salma Hayek, and Madeline Stowe.
You should’ve featured the gunfight at Purgatory.
I've been away too long. The only ones I've seen were "How the West was Won" and "Stagecoach." I missed some good ones.
And there were so many good ones...
I have a few more for you , in no particular order,,,,
"Rio Grande" Lt Col Kirby Yorke leading the charge in to the indian held town while the trio of Troopers Tyree, Boone & Yorke defend the church full of Kids...
"Big Jake" the final shoot-out between the McCandles family & the gang of villains...
"Quigley Down Under" the final shoot-out between Quigley & Marston & his henchmen...
"Silverado" the final shoot-out between the good guys & the villains .....
"Ride the High Country" The final face-off of Steve Judd & Gil Wetrum against the remaining Hammond Brothers...
"Major Dundee" The final Battle Between Dundee`s ragtag Army against the french Lancers..
"The Alamo" (1960) the final battle & death`s of all the brave defenders ..
Thanks for the ideas
The original magnificent 7. Rio Bravo. The Searchers. The man with no name trilogy.
There are soooo many!
Gotta love Kevin Costner's 13 shot revolver.
Lucky 13!
You the one that kill our friend ?..yes I did and I enjoyed it .smiles BAMN now has a new third eye
A great scene
No TOMBSTONE?
See my other videos in my channel. mentioned in several.
that remake of THE MAGNICENT SEVEN with denzal washington was crap,never try to remake a classic
I never understood why they need to do remakes. There are plenty of novels written and any one of them could be the next great western movie.
There are very few remakes as good or better then the original. Here are a few In the western genre. The Magnificent Seven is a classic as is Seven Samurai. Branded ( Alan Ladd) is every bit as good as The Texan ( Gary Cooper). Last but not least: Tombstone which is as good or better then any version of the Earp/Clanton incident.
@@davidbrown386
Umm....I like the 1967 version of 'Hour Of The Gun' as much as 'Tombstone'. However, you certainly have to appreciate the performance by Val Kilmer as 'Doc', which definitely stole the show in 'Tombstone'. Not to mention a great cast of villains, that stacks up against the best outlaw gangs from 'Fistful Of Dollars' and 'For A Few Dollars More'.
Do not forget both Hour of the Gun and Tombstone are remakes. Law and Order ( 1932) was the earliest film I saw dealing with the Ok Corral incident ( although Walter Huston did a factionalized Wyatt Earp). ps. Huston westerns would make a great video. Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The Virginian and The Furies to name a few:
@@davidbrown386
Yeah the first one that came to mind as an original Earp/Clanton movie was 'My Darling Clementine' 1946, but you're right about the 1932 'Law and Order'. I think the Earp/Clanton Ok Corral story consist of the best remakes in this western movie lore. 'Gunfight At Ok Corral' and 'Wyatt Earp' are two other decent remakes.
IMO
I have always thought the Pale Rider shoot out scene was plain silly and spoilt the whole movie - supernatural or not. The film was an extremely poor and obvious steal from Shane anyway.
FP I've enjoyed you reminiscing on westerns but it's time for me to leave your channel. It's too repetitious. Good luck pal and best wishes. 😊
I agree some of the themes are repeated too much and others are not interesting ( how actors died for example). However others are interesting like battle scenes.
Well.......Bye.....
Always open to ideas, with over 500 videos now, I must admit new ideas are getting harder to find.
@@famouspeople63
I have no shortage of ideas. I gave you one a few days ago. Start a new channel that supports great diversity. I don't know if you found it or read it or liked it. But it takes two things, imagination and will power. That's totally your choice. But I sincerely wish you well. Gonna miss your channel.
