Face to Face Duels in Westerns
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- Yes there are some great shootouts and gunplay in westerns. Usually involving two or more individuals. We have seen many of these.
Today I just want to look at those gunfights that just had two gunmen facing each other down. Which by the way was very uncommon in the real wild west. Hollywood was the inventor of this for cinematic effect.

My favorite shootout/duel is Once Upon a Time in the West. The buildup to it all through the movie, and then again when they finally face off at the end. Superb.
I liked the shootout at the beginning of that move.
"Did you bring a horse for me?"
(Laughter) "Looks like we're shy one horse."
(Slowly shakes head) "You brought too two many."
Wow how is Shane left out that was a great shootout between shane & jack Wilson also a brilliant film with the great Allan Ladd, jack palance.
Alan Ladd and Jack Palance in Shane is another good one. Great list, by the way.
Yeah was on the list but the last duel was 3 against one with Ladd, for that reason left of this one
@@famouspeople63 C`mon. Clint Eastwood killed 4 in his duel. And Alan Ladd only knew about Palance by himself when he confronted him. How Shane, the best of all the gunfights, was left off...is crazy!
It`s the best one.
"I hear you're a lowdown Yankee liar. "
"Prove it."
Shane's gun where is the best. It was understated and yet dramatic. After the 1950 s, almost all gun fights were overdramatic and unrealistic
Good selection of films for this list. I would add the face to face duel between Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster in Vera Cruz. This was one of the best gunfights in the movies I have seen.
Shane Vs. Jack Palance (won best supporting actor) is my absolute favorite because of the buildup to the event, the reality of the event, and of course, riding off into the mountains after being wounded and we never learned his fate. A top ten best ever movie in its entirety.
Parlance didn’t win best supporting actor
Film Fact ; if you look closely at Shane`s draw due to the two facts that his holster is worn so high up and his Colt is one of the longer 7 1/2 inch barreled versions he actualy has to lift the pistol clear up to his chest before the barrel clears Leather , meaning if this was real Wilson would easile been the faster draw , I think the Makers of the later Shane Tv series (1966) spotted this because there Shane (David Carradine) wore the same outfit & gunbelt But was given a colt shop keeper with a 4 inch barrel which allowed for a genuine fast draw to made from that holster & belt ..
@@brianjones7907 Remember, they put sights on a pistol for a reason. The closer to eye level, the more accurate the shot. Also, the sight radius on a revolver is longer on the Cavalry Model with a 7.5 inch barrel. When I practice drawing with my 7.5 inch replica, my belt is at waist level with the butt forward. The draw is more wrist and fingers thatn arm movement, which means the pistol muzzle has less distance to travel to get into good firing position.
Great list. I would include Tom Selleck & Alan Rickman in "Quigley Down Under."
Not so Great - because it left out the final gunfight duel in "Shane" !
The man in the end of the good and bad The Bad and The Ugly he's got to be one of the best face-to-face dolls ever
So many great ones, I always liked Clint and John Russell in pale rider.
"I'm your huckleberry" comes from the street scene, after the gunfight at the corral ... during the Doc/Ringo scene, he tells him "you ain't no daisy"
A couple you might not have considered the end of “Silverado” between Cobb and Payton. The other is between “Preacher” and Stockburn.
You didn’t mention one of the best duels of all time the one at the end of The good,the bad and the ugly none have surpassed this one absolutely brilliant 👍👌
That was not a face to face duel... 😉
Brian Dennehy as Cobb vs Kevin Kline as Paden in 1985's Silverado.
Agree! That was simple yet stylish.
Yes!
I once saw Eastwood on "Inside the Actors Studio", and he talked about how when he read the script for "A Fistfull of Dollars" he recognized "Yojimbo" and knew he wanted to do it.
As always thank you so very much for the videos.
And thank you for recognizing one of my favorite movies, "My Name Is Nobody".
I can appreciate why you didn't; but I think I'd have included the final duel in "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly." (It wasn't exactly Face to Face)
And honorable mention to James Caan's face off with the last gunslinger to gun down his mentor.
Yeah the Good the Bad and the Ugly was 3 face to face. Same reason didn't include Shane as it was Shane against 3 in final duel.
And just for the records the James caan duel is in El Dorado.
@@christianemden7637 but was this a gunfight if on of both used a knife?
Here are three favorites of mine. Tom Selleck versus Alan Rickmsn ( Quigley Down Under). Audie Murphy versus Dan Duryea ( 6 Black Horses ( my favorite Murphy movie) and Burl Ives versus Charles Bickford ( The Big Country).
I also like QDU, though it was more a 1v3 :)
Rickman thought Quigley did not know how to use a pistol. He did snd beat him ( although he did not like them)
Look again at the ending of the Big Country and you'll notice that the two protagonists have miraculously moved since annihilating each other.
I think my favorite Audie Murphy movie (except possibly Guns of Fort Petticoat) was "No Name on the Bullet" because he was playing against type.
Good list. The 1971 Burt Lancaster western "Lawman" also has several good face to face gunfights.
However, Burt shot the husband of the woman he was playing hoopie hide with in the back after promising not to. Pretty low down, in my opinion.
@@j.sumner6999 Yeah, it was. I always figured that was a "heat of the moment" thing. Once the shooting starts, it's hard to stop. Not really necessary, though, I agree.
Pretty good list but you overlooked one: Quigley Downunder
"This ain't Dodge City and you ain't Bill Hickock."
"I said I never had much use for one. Never said I didn't know how. "
PS Props for the accurate footnote on Johnny Ringo.
Missing : Alan Rickman and Tom Selleck in "Quigley down under" , the Good Bad and the Ugly was one on one Because Touco 's gun had no bullets in it. Looking at other comments enough films to do another one.
Leone shot the scenes after Morricone composed the music! He used the music as directing tool with the actors. All the best from Northern Germany Ludwig.
Great list… was sure some of the duels from “ The Quick and the Dead “ would be on it.
My favorite duel, though a setup, was the one you showed in My Name is Nobody.
But I think the best crafted ending to a duel (Fonda's end) was the one you showed in Once Upon a Time in the West.
Interestingly, both involved Henry Fonda.
Shane Shane Shane. ..how could you not have the showdown between Shane and Jack Wilson....SACRILEGE!
See my other videos on this theme, trust me mentioned many times
The shootout between Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster in "Vera Cruz". I'm surprised Cooper wasn't dazzled by the shine coming off Lancaster's teeth.
Lee Van Cleef taking on multiple killers violates your own premise.
Silverado-Kevin Kline vs Brian Dennehy.
Can’t remember the name but Glenn Ford vs Henry Fonda.
I sure do not remember Glenn Ford and Henry Fonda shooting it out.
@@j.sumner6999 Warlock with Fonda, Richard Widmark (it’s the hat), and Anthony Quinn.
Grand Duel is an underrated film. Great list. I would add the duels in The Big Gundown and The Mercenary to the list.
Henry Fonda in Warlock was brilliant.
Anthony Quinn wasn't bad either. Or Richard Widmark. Or DeForrest Kelly. Heck, it was a darn good cast.
Another good one was between Randolph Scott and Lee Marvin at the end of “7 Men From Now.”
Yeah, but we never saw Randy's draw in that shootout.
You did Good with this video and the background music was good too. Often when someeone does a video like this the music is to LOUD making the dialogue difficult to hear. YOU DID GREAT.
Beats me why the final duel between Shane and Wilson from the Western "Shane" is not on the list ! ?
Its in many of my videos, I try to mix it up a bit and not always mention the same movies, thanks, Happy New Year!
Silverado, the showdown between Cobb and Paden
Well compiled list of one on one shootouts, probably would have added Vera Cruz to the list.
Harey Carey Sr. vs. Vester Pegg in Straight Shooting from 1917 is the earliest example of a 1v1 that I know of.
Ive been looking forward to this.
The Big Gundown with Lee Van Cleef vs the Prussian Duke.
Take a look at my Video on LVC in my channel as well as spaghetti westerns
First memorable duel that comes to mind is the man with no name against the Baxter's gun hands in Fistful Of Dollars. " Get three coffins ready ". Nobody could chew on that short cigar and fan a six shooter like the man with no name. However, I believe coffin maker refers to him as Joe in the movie.
One of the most memorable indeed
@@famouspeople63
'Dawn At Socorro' has a memorable face to face gunfight between Brett Rutledge (Rory Calhoun) and a town rival that builds suspense throughout the movie and comes to a showdown at the very end.
Great stuff and I truly enjoy the videos, westerns are my favorite movie genre.
"Shane" - Alan Ladd, Jack Palance !!!
The final shootout between Jean Hackman and Shalon Stone in "The Quick and the Dead" belongs on this list. I actually rented the movie and have pulled up that last shoot out several times on You Tube.
Totally agree with you, but there are similarities to Once Upon A Time ln The West and The Good The Bad and The Ugly. Overall a very entertaining film and greatly underrated. One of my favourites.
Henry Fonda and Anthony Quinn in warlock is another good one
Ben Cooper and Jim Davis in Duel at Apache Wells. Ben Cooper had the fastest draw in Hollywood. Not bad for a Connecticut boy.
Thanks
Many congrats for the video. The performances of Val Kilmer and Viggo Mortensen are the ones I most loved and persistent in my memory, among the best face-to-face duels. I am Italian, but I have always detested "spaghetti westerns," with the one exception of Clint Eastwood's performances (who later turned out to be an exceptionally good actor and director). Finally, I disagree with your statement (in the notes below the video) that duels were very uncommon, in the real wild west: Hollywood certainly celebrated emphatically (finding great success) this phenomenon, but let us not forget that duels until the early twentieth century, in Europe and overseas, were legal and widespread, with swords even before the use of firearms.
How could you miss the Best gunfight in the award winning movie Shane ?
Have that fight in many of my videos, take a look at my videos on Alan Ladd and Jack Palance in my channel
Can't believe the best shootout was missing.. SHANE
My grandfather went to America as a young man, coming back to England in 1906. He witnessed a gunfight describing two men walking into the street about 40 yards apart shooting at each other till their pistols were empty, missing every shot, then went back about their own business.
George Bolds describes an almost identical event in his biography, _Across The Cimarron_ , which is worth reading (if you can find a copy) for any western fan.
The quote is I'm your Huckle Bearer, a person that carries a casket, Gunfight at Dodge City is another good shootout. A huckle is the handle on the casket, a pallbearer is the modern term.
Tom Sellick in Quigly Down Under. Best shootout.
Yes its in another video I did on this theme
Good list. Well done.
Perhaps for a related topic you could have the unconventional "shootouts" like Terrence Hill had in pretty much all of his films. The one's were no one necessarily dies like James Garner sucker punching his challenger in Support You Local Gunfighter then breaking his trigger fingers with a steam iron or John Wayne in Tall in the Saddle where he manages to baffle the gunfighter long enough to get close enough to pistol whip him.
"You struck that poor man."
"Yes, Ma'am, just as hard as I could."
Some lines you remember decades later.
Though not technically a movie, the gunfight at the end of Godless was epic for so many reasons.
The Shakiest Gun in the West. The duel between Jesse Haywood and Arnold the Kid. 😅
A Gunfight was a 1971 film starring Kirk Douglas and Johnny Cash. Not a blockbuster but a decent film.
Thats the one where they put on a show duel right?
@@famouspeople63 That's the film.
Shane gun play is the best
In the film They call me Trinity when Trinitys brother played by Bud Spenser faced the three men the camera panned on the faces, then on Spencers gun draw and fire, then the three on the ground. Obviously the actors just laid down then the camera panned on them. Our minds filled in the details.
There was probably more tripe than high points out of years and years of Hollywood guesses about how the West really was.
The three way good the bad and the ugly
Was not three way Eli Wallach's gun was not loaded.
SHANE THE BEST DUEL IN A WESTERN 🚜🚜🚜🔵🔵⚪️⚪️⚪️
Yes, it is not a Great list - because it left out the final gunfight duel in "Shane" !
@HartmutJagerArt so many westerns too choose from 🚜🚜🔵🔵🔵⚪️⚪️⚪️
Yes, how could you overlook Shane. What about the final of A Gunfight 1971. Big Country 1958. What do you find so appealing about those spaghetti westerns?
Yes, how could he have overlooked 'Shane' ?
A made for TV movie; a Gunfight with Kirk Douglas and Johnny Cash. Two different endings.
You give me an idea, I wonder now many westerns had alternate endings, The Great Silence is another.
@@famouspeople63 glad to help
Holiday vs. Ringo is pure fiction.
There is a difference in pronunciation between duel and jewel
Draw starring Kirk Douglas and Johnny Cash
🐴Not realy a duel but Face to Face for sure , "The Violent Men" 1955 , when John Parrish (Glenn Ford) goes face to face at a bar with cold blooded little killer Wade Matlock (Richard Jaeckel) Taking full control of the situation he easily deals with wade .🐎.
Missing John Wayne "The Shooter"
The Quick and the Dead
Vera Cruz
Can you imagine Clint as Frank in OUTITW😮
It would be nice to hear the scene, instead of the talking.
Garry cooper and burt lancaster in vera cruz is the best
A famous actual face down in the street? Hickock versus Tutt.
July 21st 1865 , Springfield Missouri , if my memory serves me right ...
LOL - how about Josey Wales , The Shootist, Warlock, Silverado, Quigley Down Under
see some of my other videos on the theme in my channel
One of the best was between Jimmy Stuart and Lee Marvin in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence. I understand why it wasn’t included, turns out it was a threesome.
John Russell vs. Clint Eastwood in "Pale Rider."
Tin Star is second
Terror in a Texas Town - Sterling Hayden - Nedrick Young
Harpoons away
The "Virginian" " I didn't come here to talk"
You missed " Shane " ....The best gunfight...!
Yes a great miss - because it left out the final gunfight duel in "Shane" !
Audie Murphy In The Texican.
Should have had the gun fight at the end of Quigley Down Under.
Why all the annoying static?
You're likely not old enough to remember TVs in the 50s -- that was what you got in between channels as you changed :)
I wish he had left it in the 50s used to piss me off as a kid
Liked it a lot!
Glad you liked it!
A great list , unfortunately however excluding the most nail biting and skillfully filmed duel of all , Shane v Jack Wilson . The ultimate western portrayal of heroic good v psychotic evil . Good triumphant ....... at a sad and terrible price . Or not ?
Yes, Not a Great list - because, as you said, it left out the final gunfight duel in "Shane" !
Sorry, but you missed out big time! Remember Shane and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly?
Alot of scenes & movies that fits, too many to list.

@@brianjones7907 Oh so close! You only listed 10. There was 11.
For the save; find which one you missed and name that movie.
@@leoperidot482 kirk douglas vs Anthony Quinn 1959`s "Last Train from Gun Hill" I did get it straight away last time , but when typing them in had to stop half way through to say goodbye to in-laws who had been staying with us over new year break , when i returned to the list i forgot to double check it before pressing enter , that why you only got 10 & not 11 ..
@@leoperidot482 ,,Kirk Douglas as Matt Morgan vs Anthony Quinn as Craig Belden in 1959`s "Last Train from Gun Hill" also stars Carolyn Jones , Brad Dexter & Earl Holliman .. the reason i missed it out the first time was because i was interupted while i was typing in the list & stupidly never double checked it before pressing enter ....
Wyatt Earp vs doc Holliday in my darling clementine Earp think Holliday had something to do with his brother’s death so they had a deul with Earp shooting the gun out of Holliday’s hand
Don’t speak during the clips
High noon was not a duel
Disappointing, no John Wayne
Don’t talk.
Ro(h)o not rojo
You talk too much. Explaining the set up and not allowing the person watching your video to actually "feel" the setup.
Watched the first three…found out that you talk over EVERY SINGLE SCENE, so I stopped watching. The scene is the star of the show. Your voice is nothing but a distraction. Score: 2/10
too much talking
To much talking.
U talk to much.
Pick a new font 🫢 I read that as “best duets” 🤣
Though not a shootem up, The duel between Tyrone Powers and Basil Rathbone in Zorro is classic
Indeed
