The big dude (Cobb) that identified Paden is Brian Dennehy, who looks familiar because he played the sheriff hassling Stallone in Rambo First Blood. By the way, this was Costner's breakout role. It's also where John Cleese met Kevin Kline, whom he hired for A Fish Called Wanda.
Brian Dennehy was also good in F/X 1 & 2, Best Seller, A Real American Hero, Cocoon, Cocoon: The Return, Romeo + Juliet, Gorky Park, Presumed Innocent, Legal Eagles, Righteous Kill, Tommy Boy, Ratatouille (as the voice of Django) and in the 'Jack Reed' series of TV movies...
I met a guy on Xbox Live one time, playing CoD. His name was Paden. His parents named him after Kline's character, as well. He was amazed I knew who the character was. It's cool to see another real life Paden. :)
"Quigley Down Under" (1990) is a western in Australia with the ever popular Tom Selleck as Quigley the sharpshooter wanting to take a shooting job in Australia. Alan Rickman plays the vindictive would be employer, as Quigley rejects the job on moral grounds. And things escalate from there. Audience ratings for this movie are very high, as much as 4.8 out of 5. But if you prefer another favorable performance from Kevin Kline, accompanied by accomplished actors like William Hurt, Glenn Close, Jeff Goldblum, and Tom Berenger, try "The Big Chill". Old college friends gather together for the funeral of yet another in a comedy-drama that was Oscar nominated for Best Picture. "The Big Chill" (1983) has a highly admired rock and roll soundtrack.
Quigley is a must! I love Silverado but Quigley is so much better. The soundtrack is better. It does not get better than Alan Rickman as a bad guy. Tom Selleck is the picture perfect looking Cowboy. Only Sam Elliott is the other picture perfect Cowboy. Which is funny because they both played Cowboy brothers in the classic Mini-series "The Sacketts"(1979) and The Shadow Riders(1982). Cassie would love the female story in Quigley. The Rifle is its own character and created a famous shooting contest held yearly. If you love Westerns Quigley Down Under is a must!
J.T. (Emmitt's brother in law) was played by Earl Hindman, the always-behind-the-fence neighbor from "Home Improvement". Nice to connect a face to the voice.
My one regret about this movie is at the end when Jake yells "We'll be back!" and there was never a "Return to Silverado" sequel for that to happen in. Other than that, it's definitely one of my top 5 westerns (along with True Grit, Sons of Katie Elder, 5 Card Stud, Open Range, and Blazing Saddles)
Another great western reaction. If you want to watch another western, you should check out Lonesome Dove from 1989. It's a miniseries staring Robert Duval, Tommy Lee Jones & Danny Glover.
When you started enjoying westerns a year ago I immediately thought, wait until she gets around to Silverado. Knowing you and what you like it’s kind of obvious you would enjoy it. So glad you finally got to see it. I couldn’t wait to watch it again with you. The beauty of Westerns is they come in all different types. This is the more upbeat Hollywood blockbuster version and they lean into it extremely well. Just a good ole rip roarin’ rootin’ tootin’ shootin’ time.
Such a great movie with a cast that all became legends, and written and directed by Lawrence Kasdan who also helped write "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "The Empire Strikes Back". What a formula for a great movie! But "Silverado" has a more special place in my heart. Back in the 80s, an old GF and I saw an evening showing of a new movie titled "The Goonies" (!). After it was over, a voice came on the speakers announcing that for those who wanted to stay, there was a free special presentation of an upcoming western named "Silverado". Neither my then-GF or I were fans of westerns, but we decided to stay as it was free. To have a date and see both "The Goonies" and "Silverado"made for such a wonderful evening, I still get warm thoughts anytime I see either of these legendary movies 😊
Cassie. Great Western. Many peoples favorite. "Man From Snowy River." 1983. Absolutely incredible film, great story and Kirk Douglas plays the part of 2 different brothers. A wonderful realistic love story. Watch it with your sister and trust me on this one. And Man from Snowy River Part 2 was really good also. To this day I hear people and friends say that it is their favorite western ever. And the horse scenes are incredible. The beauty of the horses in different scenarios was amazing.
I love The Man From Snowy River! Cassie and Carly would love the love story. The Soundtrack too is so beautiful. 2/3s of the film credits are Horse Riders.
Have to agree, The Man From Snowy River and the sequel are amazing movies. And Brian Dennehy, who plays Cobb in Silverado, takes over the Kirk Douglas roll in the second.
Also, love that the final showdown has Paden with civilization and a church behind him, whilst Cobb has the empty, barren desert behind him. Great idea.
@@unclejoker9975The DVD commentary talks about it. I love learning more about my favorite movies. Any movie I like that has one, I always listen to the commentary.
The music was composed by Bruce Broughton, who also did the music for "Tombstone", and "Harry and the Hendersons"(a wonderful movie that I dearly hope that you watch and react to with your sister)!! ❤
I was a lad of 16 or so, and it was a *gigantic* screen with a great sound system. For all that I remember thinking that though ALL the elements were there, the whole never amounted to more than those elements taken separately. Too many characters for a movie? (i.e. would have worked better as a miniseries like TRUE DETECTIVE) or perhaps all the plot points were story beats I'd seen before, many times. Hard to tell. Even now I appreciate the "filmastism" but it still doesn't quite rise to the level that it should . . .
Kevin Costner's first role was the corpse in "The Big Chill". Pretty much all of his part was left on the cutting room floor. This role was his reward for that.
Lawrence Kasdan (Raiders, Empire Strikes Back) wrote and directed this one and also wrote a directed THE BIG CHILL. Also happens to be the guy who inspired me to write movies and is a helluva fun AND FUNNY guy.
I remember thinking that was genius. Great cast and a good movie, but still not better than "Young Guns" or "Tombstone" and frankly I'm not a western movies fan, but plenty of action and fun with this one.
The reason that you recognised the lockbox theft from the wagon train is because it happened in the Mel Gibson movie Maverick. Silverado is in my top 5 westerns along with the afore mentioned Maverick, Quigley Down Under, The Hateful Eight and Dances With Wolves. 👍👍👍👍👍
Stella… kindergarten cop Brian Dennehy… Rambo, the sherif Scott Glenn… lol he’s in everything, but you’ve seen him in The Right Stuff And the scene that you were talking about, the wagon heist and cowboys had to go retrieve the loot … Maverick… it’s also where Danny and Mel met and recognized each other… breaking the 4th wall. I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction and new you’d love it.
If you’re a fan of the Dune books, Linda Hunt (Stella) brought the character Shadout Mapes to life in the 1984 film version of Dune. And yeah, she was great in Kindergarten Cop.
"High Noon" is ok, but hard to believe there would be NO men to help, and even harder to think, he would go around asking for help. A better film is "RIO BRAVO", that was made in response to High Noon, because Howard Hawks so hated the premise of that film. Plus, you rarely go wrong with John Wayne. And he is perfect in "RIO BRAVO" (as is the entire cast)
@@avantegarde7797 John Wayne was offered the Gary Cooper role of Marshal Will Kane. He turned it down because he considered it too politically Left Wing, and it was. Even in 1952 it was controversial.
You've watched Tombstone, so you know the story. You love Costner, and have seen Open Range and Silverado, so now it's time to see Costner in Wyatt Earp.
Sheriff Cobb (Brian Dennehy) was Sheriff Teasle from First Blood. You'll see his daughter in the Star Trek: TNG Season 3 cliffhanger, Best of Both Worlds.
The lead female character is Linda Hunt. She won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1983 for playing Billy Kwan in the movie “The Year of Living Dangerously “ opposite Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver. It was the first time - maybe the only time - the Best Supporting Actress Oscar was won by a woman playing the role of a man. These days she’s best known for playing Henrietta “Hetty” Lang on the TV series “NCIS: Los Angeles”, although a 2018 car accident has severely limited her on-screen appearances. This film was amazingly well cast, but didn’t do particularly well at the box office. Critical response was…mixed. They either got it or they didn’t. It didn’t make as much money as it was expected to, so it didn’t get a sequel especially since three of the four principal actors either had breakthrough roles or were about to have their breakthrough roles, making them too expensive fora sequel.
Unforgiven is one my favs also. Years ago I heard a rumor that they were going to do an orgin movie about William Munny, but I guess it never happened.
I used to hum it to my kids when they were babies to get them to go back to sleep. Tried it with my first in sleep deprived desperation, and she went right down. Continued with the others over the years and worked for them, too.
I love the lockbox scene in the canyon. Dawson, the leader of the gang, is Coach Lou Brown from Major League (“You may run like Mays but you hit like sh*t”). Such a distinctive voice. “I think there’s only a couple of guys up there & this a$$hole’s one of ‘em!” 😂
Written by the master behind Empire Strikes Back, it hits every single western trope perfectly. Excellent cast, wonderful music, it's hard to argue that this isn't the perfect western!
I really enjoy your reaction videos because you seem like such an genuine and kind person. Thank-you for these videos because they have been a source of comfort for me this past week. I had a severe panic attack last weekend which has left me emotionally fragile.
A different kind of western which you might find interesting (once) is. "Paint Your Wagon" starring Lee Marvin, Jean Seaberg, and Clint Eastwood. And it's a musical.
Also, while not a musical in the official sense, make some time for The Hallelujah Trail. Stars Burt Lancaster and an "all star cast". A comedy western that is presented as a tongue in cheek documentary. I would rather it up there with Paint Your Wagon.
There's a great scene, where Danny Glover talks about the Henry Rifle. The Henry Rifle (the originals not modern reproductions) had a capacity of 16 rounds of ammunition, which was a lot in 1860 when it was patented, even by the late 1800's it was still pretty good. Just a tidbit of history.
your enjoyment is infectious... this is a western made by people who love westerns. for many of us Scott Glenn first showed up in "Urban Cowboy" 1980 with young John Travolta, a film you have on your list, yes? and "The Year of Living Dangerously" 1982 gave us Linda Hunt.
I always like Urban Cowboy, I was living in Houston at the time, I worked in, pretty much all the Refineries in the Pasadena and Houston area, and used to go to Gilley's and Johnny Lee's Club. Houston was a lot like Urban Cowboy back then! Still remember Seeing this new guy Named George Strait at the Western Swing club on Airline! Pickup Trucks with a Gilleys & KIKKer Radio stickers on the bumper, Beer joints & Ice houses, Great Music, Hard work, Hard play, Now it's thugs and gang bangers! But I digress!
This is basically Lawrence Kasdan's love letter to classic 1950s westerns. Movies by the likes of John Ford, Howard Hawks, etc. It's one of the best weathers of the '80s, easily. And yes, Kevin Costner is goofy as hell and it’s glorious.
Costner's role in the film was basically a payback from Lawrence Kasdan for Costner's scenes being cut out of The Big Chill. One of the best Cold Opens in Cinema.
I remember reading that Kasdan wanted every Western trope in the film while he was writing it. Cattle stampede, homesteaders terrorized, showdown in the middle of the street and 'against all odds', outnumbered good guys to win the day. And of course a rousing score to accompany the heroics. I'd say he succeeded.
I would like to recommend the westerns from the 40s, 50s and 60s starring Glenn Ford. He was one of the greatest of all Western actors including being the #1 box office star. He appeared in 26 cowboy films, and in all of them, he was outstanding, strong and tough. He was ideal in the role of a good man who's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Quiet, even taciturn, speaking with measured tones, Ford was the perfect Westerner. He was also in the 1976 movie Midway that he and EVERY great actor in Hollywood was in. I highly recommend it as well. And he's Canadian. Cheers.
39:01 I was laughing when Cassie said that she wasn't laughing during a death scene. Because it wasn't the first time.,, I remember in the beginning of tombstone Cassie and Carly were laughing when the Mexican people at the wedding were getting shot by the Cowboys. And I'm sure only remember because it was my own People or Mexican people who are being killed but I remember thinking it was the first time I saw Cassie laughing during a death scene. But it was over carly making a joke that zorro should come in and save the day or something like that.
@@EnSerio71 She was great in that, too. I pointed out Kindergarten Cop because I was trying to remind Cassie of a role she'd recently seen her in. The Year of Living Dangerously would be a good reaction viewing for the future.
Cassie I think you were thinking of Maverick at the 15:00 minute mark when you were trying to recall what movie you had seen with a similar plot line of settlers in a wagon train whose money was stolen., which by the way starred Kevin Cosner's co-star from Dances with Wolves Graham Greene/Kicking Bird
Linda Hunt is a GREAT actress. Although she's only 4'9" , she generally is the biggest character in the scene. She finished her career playing Henrietta Lange on NCIS: Los Angeles. At least I assume she is finished, at 78 years old.
This is a masterpiece. But you need to follow it up. There are hundreds of great westerns. People have recommended Quigley Down Under ( so far only one reaction that I've seen) and Lonesome Dove (none. None! One of the greatest miniseries ever) but I would add what I think is the greatest, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Great story, wonderful complex characters, and one of the screen's all-time bad guys.
Cassie you would love TIN CUP, Costner's sports romcom with Rene Russo and Don Johnson. Also another great western is 1962s HOW THE WEST WAS WON. TONS of great actors! Don't forget SHENANDOAH either with Jimmy Stewart.
Another young Kevin Costner movie you'd absolutely love is called Fandango about these guys just graduating college during Vietnam in south Texas. They go on a quest. It's really good. Also has a young Judd Nelson from the breakfast club, and the guy who sold Kevin Kline the shoddy pistol as this hippy flight instructor. Really fun mellow movie with good music. Early 70s.
Thanks for sharing your story regarding anxiety and supporting a sponsor that is trying to help people.

Thank you for using your platform to bring more attention to the importance of mental health and through your reaction videos, making those of us that are fans feel a little less lonely.
Such a great western with an outstanding ensemble cast. It’s great that you got around to watching it. I can’t stress enough that you should “Quigley Down Under” starring Tom Selleck as your next western.
March Madness wouldn’t be the same without HOOSIERS..again with Gene Hackman, but since I was born in Kansas, I consider the University of Kansas, KU…to be the home of basketball…James Naismith was the first coach ..and is buried there with his wife in Lawrence..while the ten rules of basketball are displayed behind glass at Allen Fieldhouse…and Kansas passed Kentucky a few years ago to become the winningest team ever..
This is also directed by Lawrence Kasdan, the screenwriter who wrote Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Solo: A Star Wars Story, Wyatt Earp, The Big Chill
Also Return of the Jedi. He wanted to kill off Solo and Lucas said "You don't kill people. It's not nice". Also, Leigh Brackett wrote the screenplay for The Empire Strikes Back. Then Kasdan worked on it after she died. Brackett is responsible for the story and Kasdan wrote most of the dialogue.
The guy that played Tyree, Jeff Fahey, played the bad guy in seemingly every 80’s B-movie you could shake a stick at as well as showing up in quite a few Hollywood flicks, as he does here.
A very entertaining classic western with not so good "good" guys versus really bad "bad" guys. Another western you might enjoy would be "Once upon a time in the west" great cast with a pretty good story. Hope you enjoy this one.
This movie has everything. Great cast, great personal conflicts, terrific gun work and horse work, good laughs, good action, compelling story, and fantastic music.
The thing is that I could recommend a movie for every single cast member in this good or evil. For instance there is the movie Cocoon directed by Ron Howard which Brian Dennehy (the evil sheriff) plays a major role.
Silverado repaved the way for westerns in Hollywood. It was the first big budget western following the huge losses of Heaven's Gate. No one wanted to screen a western after HG ruined a studio, but Silverado was so well done and well received that it saved the whole western genre in film. I love this movie so much and have a ton of respect for all the people involved.
I think Kasdan had a huge effect on cinema in the 80's and 90's, besides the obvious SW/Raiders thing. Like you say, Silverado rejuvenated westerns. I think Body Heat kicked off the whole 80's California noire/femme fatale trend that gave us Basic Instinct. And Big Chill is one of my favorite movies, and spawned Thirty Something and a whole bunch of navel-gazing ensemble movies.
Other movies written by Lawrence Kasdan, you've already seen a bunch. Wyatt Earp 1994 The Bodyguard 1992 Grand Canyon 1991 The Accidental Tourist (1988) Silverado (1985) The Big Chill (1983) Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) Body Heat 1981 (WATCH THIS MOVIE!) Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
❤❤❤ Hey, Cassie. Cobb is almost always a bad cop. FIRST BLOOD. Slick as a different cowboy? BUCKAROO BONZAI. Emmett, as a "Buckaroo?" RED OCTOBER and URBAN COWBOY. Jake? DANCES WITH WOLVES. Paden? WILD, WILD WEST. Can't think of any others. Has to be some. I think you can still visit the Silverado set in New Mexico. Oo-De-Lally
Kevin Costner can be hit or miss, but this is definitely one of his best performances. The cast in general in this is fantastic. Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn, Kevin Costner, Danny Glover, Rosanna Arquette, John Cleese, Brian Dennehy, Jeff Goldblum, and Linda Hunt. Scott Glenn wasn't in Dr. Quinn, but he was in the Charlie Cox Daredevil and Defenders, (Stick) and The Hunt For Red October (Captain Bart Mancuso, commanding USS Dallas). He's one of those "Hey, it's that guy!" actors who's fantastic in every role you put him in, but seldom plays the lead. The thing to remember about Silverado is that by the time it came out, the Western was largely a dead genre. More importantly, is a shift in how the Western was approached, with the "White Hat/Black Hat" westerns of the 50s and 60s gave way towards a period of deconstruction in the 70s. Characters became more complicated and more cynical, and the stories were grittier and darker. Although these sort of revisionist Westerns did exist as early as the 1950s (Shane being a classic example) it wasn't until the "Spaghetti Westerns" of the 1960s that these deconstructions really became popular. Since these Italian films weren't enforced by the Hayes Code, which enforced a very conservative view of morality in film (law enforcement had to be presented positively, villains had to get their comeuppance. Oh, and you couldn't have an interracial couple. In one infamous case a white-as-snow blonde-haired female lead was killed off in the last minutes of a film because her PEOPLE were dark-skinned, and that was close enough to miscegenation for the Hayes Code) the works of Sergio Leon and other European directors weren't as restricted in their material. Most famous of these were the Dollars Trilogy with Clint Eastwood, and Once Upon A Time In The West, and would become the predominant influence throughout the 1970s in films such as The Outlaw Josey Wales, where your traditional heroes - lawmen and the US Cavalry - are now the villains of the film. Silverado, however, is a reconstruction of the old school Western. Although you still have morally complex characters and corrupt lawmen like the deconstructions of the 70s, the action, the music, and the uplifting story are all very much a throwback to the White Hat Westerns of the 50s and 60s. Linda Hunt (Stella) is another of those actors who's been in SO much stuff yet has never been a lead. IE she played the Principal in Kindergarten Cop. McKendrick = Villain McCormick = Spice maker
Hey, Cassie! Love your reactions! Just watched your reaction to Silverado and it's one of my all time favorite westerns due, precisely, to what you said on how fun, adventurous, heartwarming, and how it was full of great characters. Anyway, you mentioned toward the end of the reaction video that you'd like to see more fun westerns. If that's the case, I have a western comedy suggestion for you. My suggestion is a western called The Villain, directed by Hal Needham (the late stuntman turned film director who did The Cannonball Run films with Burt Reynolds and was a basis for Brad Pitt's Cliff Booth character in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood). The Villain stars the late Kirk Douglas as an outlaw named Cactus Jack who's setting out to get to a woman named Charmaine played by Ann-Margret from Grumpy Old Men for the money she got from her father and do away with the man protecting her by the name of Handsome Stranger who was played by a younger pre-Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger. The movie is a western spoof comedy in the vein of movies like Airplane and The Naked Gun and it also plays almost like a live action Roadrunner vs. Wile E. Coyote cartoon. I think you'd really enjoy it. This western comedy means the world to me because it was a film I'd always watch with my dearly departed Dad who died from Cancer back in September of 2008. It's one of those films I watch whenever I want to feel closer to my Dad again. I think you should also watch it with your sister, Carly (I love watching the two of you react together like when you reacted to the Lord Of The Rings trilogy with her, your 2nd reaction to the trilogy, which is one I absolutely love, by the way and loved your reacting to it). I think the two of you will absolutely love The Villain.
Hi Cassie. The movie you were trying to think of with the wagon train was Maverick. Also The movie you remember the guy who played Cobb from, he was the sheriff in Rambo. For a western with some laughs you could try McClintock with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara or Cat Ballou with Lee Marvin and Jane Fonda. Both of them are older movies. For a couple other classic John Wayne westerns I love The Cowboys, The Shootist, Rio Bravo, and Big Jake. Love watching you and Cassie. You are both adorable and fun. Y'all stay safe and well.
Brian Dennehy was a fairly affable bad guy here, bad but not necessarily evil. He was in another movie in 1985 called Cocoon (syfy) which is the first movie I remember seeing him in. (He appeared in 180 films, plus tv and theater.) Besides Silverado, his most memorable and enjoyable film came in 1986, called F/X (Which was similar to the basic theme of The Sting.) Watch either of these and you'll end up liking his characters.
Hi Cassie, if the theme of the stranded wagon train in the middle of nowhere because outlaws have taken the money sound familiar to you it's probably due to the movie Maverick with Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster. Stella (Linda Hunt) looks familiar because she was the school principal in Kindergarten Cop. I hope you get to react to Quigley Downunder with Tom Selleck and Alan Rickman (Hans Gruber in Die Hard).
Favorite western? It has to be SHANE, Still they dont make it like Silverado now a days... Watch it in theaaters when it come out and it was huge! Great flick that brings the 50's into the 80's... A throwback to fun westerns!
So, Kasden (the director of this) made the Big Chill (1983) ... such an iconic film for me during my college years ... which had an ensemble cast that included Kevin Kline and Kevin Costner, but Costner's roll got cut in the editing so Kasden promised to create a roll tailored to him in his next movie, which was this. This was such a fun western that references so many of the tropes from the older classic westerns. Thanks for watching it.
This was the first of three films Kevin Kline and John Cleese made together. You've seen two of them, the third is Fierce Creatures, which also co-stars Jamie Lee Curtis. Yes, the same team from A Fish Called Wanda. Added to the cast is Cary Lowell, the main Bond girl from Licence to Kill with Timothy Dalton. The lady who played Stella in Silverado, you've seen before in Kindergarten Cop.
I love westerns and have a bunch that I think you would like. Having said that High Noon is a truly special movie that you should check out. It is VERY different than most Western movies because it is short and fast paced. It is also an allegory for standing up for the law even when it's hard. A truly special story with amazing charachters. A few others that you might like: The Man who Shot Liberty Vallence Yojimbo and A Fistful of Dollars (same story) Also Last Man Standing True Grit. (Both versions)

"Quigley Down Under" (1990) is a western in Australia with the ever popular Tom Selleck as Quigley the sharpshooter wanting to take a shooting job in Australia. Alan Rickman plays the vindictive would be employer, as Quigley rejects the job on moral grounds. And things escalate from there. Audience ratings for this movie are very high, as much as 4.8 out of 5. But if you prefer another favorable performance from Kevin Kline, accompanied by accomplished actors like William Hurt, Glenn Close, Jeff Goldblum, and Tom Berenger, try "The Big Chill". Old college friends gather together for the funeral of yet another in a comedy-drama that was Oscar nominated for Best Picture. "The Big Chill" (1983) has a highly admired rock and roll soundtrack.
And Kevin Costner has a cameo, although it was suppose to be his big break. One reason why Kasdan cast him in Silverado.
These are both excellent suggestions for the PIB ladies to watch.
Yes! Do Quigley!
Quigley is a must! I love Silverado but Quigley is so much better. The soundtrack is better. It does not get better than Alan Rickman as a bad guy. Tom Selleck is the picture perfect looking Cowboy. Only Sam Elliott is the other picture perfect Cowboy. Which is funny because they both played Cowboy brothers in the classic Mini-series "The Sacketts"(1979) and The Shadow Riders(1982). Cassie would love the female story in Quigley. The Rifle is its own character and created a famous shooting contest held yearly. If you love Westerns Quigley Down Under is a must!
@@reesebn38 Others have tried, but YT butchered the Videos to the point that Quigley's Sharps had to be blurred out! It looked awful.
Now you need to watch Lonesome Dove. It's the best western of all time. You'll love it.
Bonanza was fun too
Yes the best
J.T. (Emmitt's brother in law) was played by Earl Hindman, the always-behind-the-fence neighbor from "Home Improvement". Nice to connect a face to the voice.

Poor Earl, no one ever recognizes him without his fence. 😂

Or as Cassie calls them, "Jackson and Hawkins."
Kevin Kline has so many low-key one liners in this one. Great stuff
Literally one of my favorite jokes in all of movie history. Kline's delivery gets me every time, I just love it. Such a phenomenal script.
The guy looking for Baxter and Hawley was played by Brion James, a reliable character actor best known as the replicant Leon in Blade Runner

My one regret about this movie is at the end when Jake yells "We'll be back!" and there was never a "Return to Silverado" sequel for that to happen in. Other than that, it's definitely one of my top 5 westerns (along with True Grit, Sons of Katie Elder, 5 Card Stud, Open Range, and Blazing Saddles)
5 card stud is Awesome
A good list. 👍🏼 Too few mention 5 Card Stud these days.
I can only applaud your taste in westerns. Some truly outstanding titles, there.
And, if I may be so bold, you would also enjoy Dean Martin in "Rough Night In Jerecho", if you've not seen it.
All the actors are still around. It’s be interesting to do a long awaited sequel where they are all old and grey.
Another great western reaction. If you want to watch another western, you should check out Lonesome Dove from 1989. It's a miniseries staring Robert Duval, Tommy Lee Jones & Danny Glover.
When you started enjoying westerns a year ago I immediately thought, wait until she gets around to Silverado. Knowing you and what you like it’s kind of obvious you would enjoy it. So glad you finally got to see it. I couldn’t wait to watch it again with you. The beauty of Westerns is they come in all different types. This is the more upbeat Hollywood blockbuster version and they lean into it extremely well. Just a good ole rip roarin’ rootin’ tootin’ shootin’ time.
Well said.
Such a great movie with a cast that all became legends, and written and directed by Lawrence Kasdan who also helped write "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "The Empire Strikes Back". What a formula for a great movie! But "Silverado" has a more special place in my heart. Back in the 80s, an old GF and I saw an evening showing of a new movie titled "The Goonies" (!). After it was over, a voice came on the speakers announcing that for those who wanted to stay, there was a free special presentation of an upcoming western named "Silverado". Neither my then-GF or I were fans of westerns, but we decided to stay as it was free. To have a date and see both "The Goonies" and "Silverado"made for such a wonderful evening, I still get warm thoughts anytime I see either of these legendary movies 😊
Cassie. Great Western. Many peoples favorite. "Man From Snowy River." 1983. Absolutely incredible film, great story and Kirk Douglas plays the part of 2 different brothers. A wonderful realistic love story. Watch it with your sister and trust me on this one. And Man from Snowy River Part 2 was really good also. To this day I hear people and friends say that it is their favorite western ever. And the horse scenes are incredible. The beauty of the horses in different scenarios was amazing.
I love The Man From Snowy River! Cassie and Carly would love the love story. The Soundtrack too is so beautiful. 2/3s of the film credits are Horse Riders.
Agreed !!
Have to agree, The Man From Snowy River and the sequel are amazing movies. And Brian Dennehy, who plays Cobb in Silverado, takes over the Kirk Douglas roll in the second.
I saw both in the theatre.@@BearcIaw13
Brian Denny is in "Man from Snowy River 2" playing the Kirk Douglas character.
You should check out Quigley Down Under, a western set in Australia.Tom Selleck and Alan Rickman
Another one, I frequently, come back to. "Good stufg, Maynard" !
Also, love that the final showdown has Paden with civilization and a church behind him, whilst Cobb has the empty, barren desert behind him.
Great idea.
That's a really good catch.
Yeah; --behind Cobb is WASTELAND
I’ve seen this movie so many times and it was the first time I had noticed that as well.
@@unclejoker9975The DVD commentary talks about it. I love learning more about my favorite movies. Any movie I like that has one, I always listen to the commentary.
I also like how he checked if he had the advantage with the sun.
The music was composed by Bruce Broughton, who also did the music for "Tombstone", and "Harry and the Hendersons"(a wonderful movie that I dearly hope that you watch and react to with your sister)!! ❤
Linda Hunt is amazing in this as Stella. She elevates every movie she performs in.
You have to watch Hidalgo! Western and Horse movie supreme and your favorite King from lord of the rings as you lead
I second Hidalgo.
And a true story! Cassie would love that aspect.
@@jimandaud True stories are the best
I saw this in the theater when it came out. When Jake said; "We'll be back." the crowd cheered, wanting a sequel.
I was a lad of 16 or so, and it was a *gigantic* screen with a great sound system. For all that I remember thinking that though ALL the elements were there, the whole never amounted to more than those elements taken separately. Too many characters for a movie? (i.e. would have worked better as a miniseries like TRUE DETECTIVE) or perhaps all the plot points were story beats I'd seen before, many times. Hard to tell. Even now I appreciate the "filmastism" but it still doesn't quite rise to the level that it should . . .
I saw this at the Drive in Near Airline dr in Houston when it came out! Might be one of the last Drive in movie I saw!
same here. it definitely deserved that sequel. too bad it never got one.
I'll repeat what's already been mentioned! Lonesome Dove and Quigley Down Under are must sees!!!
Scott Glenn was the American submarine commander in The Hunt For Red October.
Cassie also reviewed The Right Stuff. Scott Glenn was Alan Shepard. "My name Jose Jimenez."
Also the bad guy in Urban Cowboy.
And Stick on Daredevil.
Scott Glenn was good as the FBI director in 'The Silence Of The Lambs' with Jody Foster & Anthony Hopkins...
And Axe in Backdraft.
Kevin Costner's first role was the corpse in "The Big Chill". Pretty much all of his part was left on the cutting room floor. This role was his reward for that.
Lawrence Kasdan (Raiders, Empire Strikes Back) wrote and directed this one and also wrote a directed THE BIG CHILL. Also happens to be the guy who inspired me to write movies and is a helluva fun AND FUNNY guy.
He was in Night shift in 82
Actually, It wasn't his first role he's done a number of smaller roles before that. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Costner_filmography
He also turned the role of the junior missle silo commander in WarGames to be in the Big Chill. The role in Silverado was a double payback.
And The Big Chill also stars Kevin Kline and Jeff Goldblum. :)
This movie has really been forgotten but it was a big hit and its one of my all time favorites westerns. It's... Perfect.
Casting John Cleese as a sheriff who was "not from these parts" was brilliant. I wonder how that came about.
I was surprised she didn't recognize him from A Fish Called Wanda.
Today my jurisdiction ends here
I remember thinking that was genius. Great cast and a good movie, but still not better than "Young Guns" or "Tombstone" and frankly I'm not a western movies fan, but plenty of action and fun with this one.
I’m not sure how he got cast in this, but it was because they worked together on this film that Cleese tapped Kline to be in “A Fish Called Wanda.”
@@nealhoffman7518YES!
Lonesome Dove! Lonesome Dove! Lonesome Dove!
Yep! the ranch and the town were both used in Lonesome Dove! And Danny Glover was so good.
Yes! I've been waiting for someone to react to Lonesome Dove forever. A great story, amazing acting.
@@luciebrisson5881 - someone else has.
Agreed! And then Return to Lonesome Dove!
YESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!! LONESOME DOVE, please❤❤
The reason that you recognised the lockbox theft from the wagon train is because it happened in the Mel Gibson movie Maverick. Silverado is in my top 5 westerns along with the afore mentioned Maverick, Quigley Down Under, The Hateful Eight and Dances With Wolves. 👍👍👍👍👍
Stella… kindergarten cop
Brian Dennehy… Rambo, the sherif
Scott Glenn… lol he’s in everything, but you’ve seen him in The Right Stuff
And the scene that you were talking about, the wagon heist and cowboys had to go retrieve the loot … Maverick… it’s also where Danny and Mel met and recognized each other… breaking the 4th wall.
I thoroughly enjoyed your reaction and new you’d love it.
Knew* I hate when I do that lol
Scott Glenn - Hunt For Red October
Scott Glenn-Urban Cowboy, The Bourne Ultimatum
Cassie also saw Scott Glenn as Jodie Foster's FBI boss in "Silence of the Lambs".
If you’re a fan of the Dune books, Linda Hunt (Stella) brought the character Shadout Mapes to life in the 1984 film version of Dune. And yeah, she was great in Kindergarten Cop.
I'm so glad I suggested this film in chat ages ago and your classic 'Popcorn' loving reaction to it.😃..now roll on "Kelly's Heroes". 😉
WOOF WOOF WOOF.
That's my other dog imitation.
Yes!!!
IMO, slim to no chance she would ever react to "Kelly's Heroes". It's a struggle to get 60s (and 70s) films on the channel.
If you haven't seen it, High Noon. It's a fantastic western that takes place in real time. Gary Cooper is amazing
"High Noon" is ok, but hard to believe there would be NO men to help, and even harder to think, he would go around asking for help. A better film is "RIO BRAVO", that was made in response to High Noon, because Howard Hawks so hated the premise of that film. Plus, you rarely go wrong with John Wayne. And he is perfect in "RIO BRAVO" (as is the entire cast)
@@avantegarde7797 John Wayne was offered the Gary Cooper role of Marshal Will Kane. He turned it down because he considered it too politically Left Wing, and it was. Even in 1952 it was controversial.
You've watched Tombstone, so you know the story. You love Costner, and have seen Open Range and Silverado, so now it's time to see Costner in Wyatt Earp.
+1. It's the more realistic version of the OK Corral gunfight, but not as entertaining as *Tombstone.* Wonderful soundtrack by James Newton Howard.
Do your self a favor, Cassie, and make your next western "Quigley Down Under", starring Tom Selleck & Alan Rickman.
Also, the lovely Laura San Giacomo. A wonderful mother to her son.
Has she seen THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER?
@@JohnBullard Hello, was there any snow? I don't remember any snow.
Sheriff Cobb (Brian Dennehy) was Sheriff Teasle from First Blood.
You'll see his daughter in the Star Trek: TNG Season 3 cliffhanger, Best of Both Worlds.
"I'm like the north star....I'm always there but I shine at night." Always loved that.
And she was the principal in Kindergarten Cop.
My favourite Western of all time... That story with the dog. I love the idea of you never know what someone might care about.
My favorites are: McClintock, Big Jake, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, and Catballou.
I think the idea that you never know what someone will care about is 💯 spot on.
The lead female character is Linda Hunt. She won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1983 for playing Billy Kwan in the movie “The Year of Living Dangerously “ opposite Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver. It was the first time - maybe the only time - the Best Supporting Actress Oscar was won by a woman playing the role of a man. These days she’s best known for playing Henrietta “Hetty” Lang on the TV series “NCIS: Los Angeles”, although a 2018 car accident has severely limited her on-screen appearances.
This film was amazingly well cast, but didn’t do particularly well at the box office. Critical response was…mixed. They either got it or they didn’t. It didn’t make as much money as it was expected to, so it didn’t get a sequel especially since three of the four principal actors either had breakthrough roles or were about to have their breakthrough roles, making them too expensive fora sequel.
Let's not forget her work in, If Looks Could Kill.
For Kevin you should watch Mr Brookes and No way out.
Agreed!
They are good, seriously intense.
Best reaction line...."he redeemed himself...Otto, a Fish Called Wanda" Couldn't help but smile - I watched your reaction to that movie also.
I'm hoping that she checks out The January Man. That's another great Line film with a star studded cast.
Unforgiven and The Outlaw Josey Wales are two of my favorite traditional type Westerns.
But Silverado is my favorite "fun" Western movie.
Unforgiven is one my favs also. Years ago I heard a rumor that they were going to do an orgin movie about William Munny, but I guess it never happened.
The musical score in this movie is extra ordinary.
It really is a classic. So good.
I used to hum it to my kids when they were babies to get them to go back to sleep. Tried it with my first in sleep deprived desperation, and she went right down. Continued with the others over the years and worked for them, too.
It was nominated for Best Original Score but lost to John Barry for Out of Africa.
It's reminiscent of the main theme from the tv-series How The West Was Won. A childhood favorite.
I love the lockbox scene in the canyon. Dawson, the leader of the gang, is Coach Lou Brown from Major League (“You may run like Mays but you hit like sh*t”). Such a distinctive voice. “I think there’s only a couple of guys up there & this a$$hole’s one of ‘em!” 😂
Written by the master behind Empire Strikes Back, it hits every single western trope perfectly. Excellent cast, wonderful music, it's hard to argue that this isn't the perfect western!
I really enjoy your reaction videos because you seem like such an genuine and kind person.
Thank-you for these videos because they have been a source of comfort for me this past week.
I had a severe panic attack last weekend which has left me emotionally fragile.
Scott Glenn is also in "The Right Stuff"
Alan B. Shepherd
"I don't want to kill you and you don't want to die" is one of the best lines ever!
A different kind of western which you might find interesting (once) is. "Paint Your Wagon" starring Lee Marvin, Jean Seaberg, and Clint Eastwood. And it's a musical.
Luv that 🎥 Just watched it again for the 20th time last year.
Also, while not a musical in the official sense, make some time for The Hallelujah Trail. Stars Burt Lancaster and an "all star cast". A comedy western that is presented as a tongue in cheek documentary. I would rather it up there with Paint Your Wagon.
I actually saw that in the theater as a kid!
No Name City. Population: Drunk
I know paint your wagon is disparaged by movie snobs, but I Love that movie.
There's a great scene, where Danny Glover talks about the Henry Rifle. The Henry Rifle (the originals not modern reproductions) had a capacity of 16 rounds of ammunition, which was a lot in 1860 when it was patented, even by the late 1800's it was still pretty good. Just a tidbit of history.
your enjoyment is infectious...
this is a western made by people who love westerns.
for many of us Scott Glenn first showed up in "Urban Cowboy" 1980 with young John Travolta, a film you have on your list, yes?
and "The Year of Living Dangerously" 1982 gave us Linda Hunt.
I always like Urban Cowboy, I was living in Houston at the time, I worked in, pretty much all the Refineries in the Pasadena and Houston area, and used to go to Gilley's and Johnny Lee's Club. Houston was a lot like Urban Cowboy back then! Still remember Seeing this new guy Named George Strait at the Western Swing club on Airline! Pickup Trucks with a Gilleys & KIKKer Radio stickers on the bumper, Beer joints & Ice houses, Great Music, Hard work, Hard play, Now it's thugs and gang bangers! But I digress!
This is basically Lawrence Kasdan's love letter to classic 1950s westerns. Movies by the likes of John Ford, Howard Hawks, etc. It's one of the best weathers of the '80s, easily.
And yes, Kevin Costner is goofy as hell and it’s glorious.
Costner's role in the film was basically a payback from Lawrence Kasdan for Costner's scenes being cut out of The Big Chill.
One of the best Cold Opens in Cinema.
Facts
I remember reading that Kasdan wanted every Western trope in the film while he was writing it. Cattle stampede, homesteaders terrorized, showdown in the middle of the street and 'against all odds', outnumbered good guys to win the day. And of course a rousing score to accompany the heroics. I'd say he succeeded.
I would like to recommend the westerns from the 40s, 50s and 60s starring
Glenn Ford. He was one of the greatest of all Western actors including being the #1 box office star. He appeared in 26 cowboy films, and in all of them, he was outstanding, strong and tough. He was ideal in the role of a good man who's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Quiet, even taciturn, speaking with measured tones, Ford was the perfect Westerner.
He was also in the 1976 movie Midway that he and EVERY great actor in Hollywood was in.
I highly recommend it as well. And he's Canadian. Cheers.
And one of the greatest soundtracks of all time. If you lived in the 80s you had The Big Chill soundtrack.@@cleekmaker00
39:01 I was laughing when Cassie said that she wasn't laughing during a death scene. Because it wasn't the first time.,, I remember in the beginning of tombstone Cassie and Carly were laughing when the Mexican people at the wedding were getting shot by the Cowboys. And I'm sure only remember because it was my own People or Mexican people who are being killed but I remember thinking it was the first time I saw Cassie laughing during a death scene. But it was over carly making a joke that zorro should come in and save the day or something like that.
Linda Hunt more recent job was NCIS Los Angeles. This movie is as good today as it was 39 years ago.
She was also the principal in Kindergarten Cop.
@radiowatcher she won the academy award for the The Year of Living Dangerously with Mel Gibson if you want to really go back in time.
@@EnSerio71Yep, and she played a man in it. That was her breakout role.
First thing I saw her in was Dune, then the short lived sci fi western Space Rangers.
@@EnSerio71 She was great in that, too. I pointed out Kindergarten Cop because I was trying to remind Cassie of a role she'd recently seen her in. The Year of Living Dangerously would be a good reaction viewing for the future.
You know Cobb (Brian Dennehy) from Rambo. He’s the slimy cop that doesn’t want Rambo in town. He’s good at playing a villain we hate.
Also- the bartender in 10, the alien leader in Cocoon. and so on.... great career he had. RIP.
And on the other hand he was a good guy in FX and FX/2.
The guy who played Dawson (James Gammon) also played Lou Brown, the manager from Major League.
Another very fine, very versatile performer. The cast, in this film, is just stellar !
He was also in "Silver Bullet" as the werewolf's first victim and was Don Johnson's eccentric dad Nick on the TV cop drama, "Nash Bridges".
Shane is another classic western from 1953. It is still, after many years, one of my favorite westerns.
Oh yeah, arguably, the best western ever made, or, at least, in the conversation. Truly a great, great classic.
I heard about you.
What did you hear, Shane?
That you're a lowdown Yankee liar.....
BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
😂
Scott Glenn was also the Captain of the USS Dallas in Hunt for Red October.
Cassie I think you were thinking of Maverick at the 15:00 minute mark when you were trying to recall what movie you had seen with a similar plot line of settlers in a wagon train whose money was stolen., which by the way starred Kevin Cosner's co-star from Dances with Wolves Graham Greene/Kicking Bird
I think you nailed it!
Good memory!
🪙
Linda Hunt is a GREAT actress. Although she's only 4'9" , she generally is the biggest character in the scene. She finished her career playing Henrietta Lange on NCIS: Los Angeles. At least I assume she is finished, at 78 years old.
This is a masterpiece. But you need to follow it up. There are hundreds of great westerns. People have recommended Quigley Down Under ( so far only one reaction that I've seen) and Lonesome Dove (none. None! One of the greatest miniseries ever) but I would add what I think is the greatest, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. Great story, wonderful complex characters, and one of the screen's all-time bad guys.
There's three or four reactions to Lonesome Dove.
Cassie you would love TIN CUP, Costner's sports romcom with Rene Russo and Don Johnson. Also another great western is 1962s HOW THE WEST WAS WON. TONS of great actors!
Don't forget SHENANDOAH either with Jimmy Stewart.
"Rooster Cogburn." One of the best John Wayne movies. You also would enjoy "The Quiet Man." Up you alley
Another young Kevin Costner movie you'd absolutely love is called Fandango about these guys just graduating college during Vietnam in south Texas. They go on a quest. It's really good. Also has a young Judd Nelson from the breakfast club, and the guy who sold Kevin Kline the shoddy pistol as this hippy flight instructor. Really fun mellow movie with good music. Early 70s.
Cassie, you might be thinking about Maverick regarding the robbed stagecoach.
Thanks for sharing your story regarding anxiety and supporting a sponsor that is trying to help people. I also have suffered from anxiety, as well as panic attacks and different phobias since I was a kid. One of the worst parts about it is that it can be very isolating and lonely. Thank you for using your platform to bring more attention to the importance of mental health and through your reaction videos, making those of us that are fans feel a little less lonely.
It can be exceedingly debilitating. Moveis were always a solace and an escape for me. Bless you.
Gotta watch El Dorado with John Wayne and Robert Mitchum. Same vein as Silverado
Also peak 800s feel good watch Ladyhawke. Won't be disappointed
Such a great western with an outstanding ensemble cast. It’s great that you got around to watching it. I can’t stress enough that you should “Quigley Down Under” starring Tom Selleck as your next western.
March Madness wouldn’t be the same without HOOSIERS..again with Gene Hackman, but since I was born in Kansas, I consider the University of Kansas, KU…to be the home of basketball…James Naismith was the first coach ..and is buried there with his wife in Lawrence..while the ten rules of basketball are displayed behind glass at Allen Fieldhouse…and Kansas passed Kentucky a few years ago to become the winningest team ever..
This is also directed by Lawrence Kasdan, the screenwriter who wrote Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Solo: A Star Wars Story, Wyatt Earp, The Big Chill
Also Return of the Jedi. He wanted to kill off Solo and Lucas said "You don't kill people. It's not nice".
Also, Leigh Brackett wrote the screenplay for The Empire Strikes Back. Then Kasdan worked on it after she died. Brackett is responsible for the story and Kasdan wrote most of the dialogue.
His first written and directed film "Body Heat"(1981) is excellent too.
Brian Dennehy again playing the evil Sheriff like in First Blood (Rambo).
The script for this movie was brilliant and it has some of the cleverest dialog of any western I have ever seen.
The guy that played Tyree, Jeff Fahey, played the bad guy in seemingly every 80’s B-movie you could shake a stick at as well as showing up in quite a few Hollywood flicks, as he does here.
I think you will enjoy this Cassie. Costner is crazy in the best kinda way in this. Now you just gotta do Tin Cup.
Agreed, " Tin Cup " a must see prior to death. So is " Up! " and do so with Carly, you both need to see it.
He's brilliant in Tin Cup
So seconded! Can't wait for them to get to Tin Cup!
Tin cup is one of my favorite movies. I probably identify with Costner's character more than I should admit.
May I suggest The Man From Snowy River? Action, Adventure, Drama, and Romance. Great western set in Australia.
A very entertaining classic western with not so good "good" guys versus really bad "bad" guys.
Another western you might enjoy would be "Once upon a time in the west" great cast with a pretty good story. Hope you enjoy this one.
Two movies you need to see are "Outlaw Josey Wales" and "Quigley Down Under."
This movie has everything. Great cast, great personal conflicts, terrific gun work and horse work, good laughs, good action, compelling story, and fantastic music.
The thing is that I could recommend a movie for every single cast member in this good or evil. For instance there is the movie Cocoon directed by Ron Howard which Brian Dennehy (the evil sheriff) plays a major role.
Sooo true. Every member of this cast has a number of other wondeful roles in various genres. Good call.
Silverado repaved the way for westerns in Hollywood. It was the first big budget western following the huge losses of Heaven's Gate. No one wanted to screen a western after HG ruined a studio, but Silverado was so well done and well received that it saved the whole western genre in film. I love this movie so much and have a ton of respect for all the people involved.
I think Kasdan had a huge effect on cinema in the 80's and 90's, besides the obvious SW/Raiders thing. Like you say, Silverado rejuvenated westerns. I think Body Heat kicked off the whole 80's California noire/femme fatale trend that gave us Basic Instinct. And Big Chill is one of my favorite movies, and spawned Thirty Something and a whole bunch of navel-gazing ensemble movies.
I'd never heard of Heaven's Gate. I looked it up.
It has a star studded cast!
Other movies written by Lawrence Kasdan, you've already seen a bunch.

The chemistry between Paden and Stella was amazing. One of my favorite parts of the movie.
❤❤❤ Hey, Cassie. Cobb is almost always a bad cop. FIRST BLOOD. Slick as a different cowboy? BUCKAROO BONZAI. Emmett, as a "Buckaroo?" RED OCTOBER and URBAN COWBOY. Jake? DANCES WITH WOLVES. Paden? WILD, WILD WEST. Can't think of any others. Has to be some. I think you can still visit the Silverado set in New Mexico. Oo-De-Lally
Scott Glen was also FBI director Crawford in Silence of the Lambs.
A Secret Service Man in " Absolute Power ".
He was also in “The Right Stuff”
And Alan Sheppard in The Right Stuff.
One of the great westerns - The Searchers with John Wayne. The greatest western ever - Once Upon a Time in the West
Kevin Costner can be hit or miss, but this is definitely one of his best performances. The cast in general in this is fantastic. Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn, Kevin Costner, Danny Glover, Rosanna Arquette, John Cleese, Brian Dennehy, Jeff Goldblum, and Linda Hunt.
Scott Glenn wasn't in Dr. Quinn, but he was in the Charlie Cox Daredevil and Defenders, (Stick) and The Hunt For Red October (Captain Bart Mancuso, commanding USS Dallas). He's one of those "Hey, it's that guy!" actors who's fantastic in every role you put him in, but seldom plays the lead.
The thing to remember about Silverado is that by the time it came out, the Western was largely a dead genre. More importantly, is a shift in how the Western was approached, with the "White Hat/Black Hat" westerns of the 50s and 60s gave way towards a period of deconstruction in the 70s. Characters became more complicated and more cynical, and the stories were grittier and darker. Although these sort of revisionist Westerns did exist as early as the 1950s (Shane being a classic example) it wasn't until the "Spaghetti Westerns" of the 1960s that these deconstructions really became popular. Since these Italian films weren't enforced by the Hayes Code, which enforced a very conservative view of morality in film (law enforcement had to be presented positively, villains had to get their comeuppance. Oh, and you couldn't have an interracial couple. In one infamous case a white-as-snow blonde-haired female lead was killed off in the last minutes of a film because her PEOPLE were dark-skinned, and that was close enough to miscegenation for the Hayes Code) the works of Sergio Leon and other European directors weren't as restricted in their material. Most famous of these were the Dollars Trilogy with Clint Eastwood, and Once Upon A Time In The West, and would become the predominant influence throughout the 1970s in films such as The Outlaw Josey Wales, where your traditional heroes - lawmen and the US Cavalry - are now the villains of the film.
Silverado, however, is a reconstruction of the old school Western. Although you still have morally complex characters and corrupt lawmen like the deconstructions of the 70s, the action, the music, and the uplifting story are all very much a throwback to the White Hat Westerns of the 50s and 60s.
Linda Hunt (Stella) is another of those actors who's been in SO much stuff yet has never been a lead. IE she played the Principal in Kindergarten Cop.
McKendrick = Villain
McCormick = Spice maker
Yes! I’ve been recommending this one. A great western from the makers of Return of the Jedi.
Hey, Cassie! Love your reactions! Just watched your reaction to Silverado and it's one of my all time favorite westerns due, precisely, to what you said on how fun, adventurous, heartwarming, and how it was full of great characters. Anyway, you mentioned toward the end of the reaction video that you'd like to see more fun westerns. If that's the case, I have a western comedy suggestion for you.
My suggestion is a western called The Villain, directed by Hal Needham (the late stuntman turned film director who did The Cannonball Run films with Burt Reynolds and was a basis for Brad Pitt's Cliff Booth character in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood). The Villain stars the late Kirk Douglas as an outlaw named Cactus Jack who's setting out to get to a woman named Charmaine played by Ann-Margret from Grumpy Old Men for the money she got from her father and do away with the man protecting her by the name of Handsome Stranger who was played by a younger pre-Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger. The movie is a western spoof comedy in the vein of movies like Airplane and The Naked Gun and it also plays almost like a live action Roadrunner vs. Wile E. Coyote cartoon. I think you'd really enjoy it. This western comedy means the world to me because it was a film I'd always watch with my dearly departed Dad who died from Cancer back in September of 2008. It's one of those films I watch whenever I want to feel closer to my Dad again.
I think you should also watch it with your sister, Carly (I love watching the two of you react together like when you reacted to the Lord Of The Rings trilogy with her, your 2nd reaction to the trilogy, which is one I absolutely love, by the way and loved your reacting to it). I think the two of you will absolutely love The Villain.
One of my favorites.
Hi Cassie. The movie you were trying to think of with the wagon train was Maverick. Also The movie you remember the guy who played Cobb from, he was the sheriff in Rambo. For a western with some laughs you could try McClintock with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara or Cat Ballou with Lee Marvin and Jane Fonda. Both of them are older movies. For a couple other classic John Wayne westerns I love The Cowboys, The Shootist, Rio Bravo, and Big Jake. Love watching you and Cassie. You are both adorable and fun. Y'all stay safe and well.
The guy who knows Paden is Brian Dennehy, a great actor and a certified War hero!
No he wasn’t he was in the marine corps but played football
Brian Dennehy was a fairly affable bad guy here, bad but not necessarily evil. He was in another movie in 1985 called Cocoon (syfy) which is the first movie I remember seeing him in. (He appeared in 180 films, plus tv and theater.) Besides Silverado, his most memorable and enjoyable film came in 1986, called F/X (Which was similar to the basic theme of The Sting.) Watch either of these and you'll end up liking his characters.
Also the dad in "TOMMY BOY". And "FX", which you mention, is a great, highly underrated mystery. High reccomendations !
If you want another fun Kevin Costner film, check out a movie he did with Judd Nelson right before Silverado called Fandango.
A little known but very good film.
Not enough people know about this film. It's very entertaining. Kevin Reynolds directed. He and Costner later made Robin Hood and Waterworld together.
Hi Cassie, if the theme of the stranded wagon train in the middle of nowhere because outlaws have taken the money sound familiar to you it's probably due to the movie Maverick with Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster. Stella (Linda Hunt) looks familiar because she was the school principal in Kindergarten Cop.
I hope you get to react to Quigley Downunder with Tom Selleck and Alan Rickman (Hans Gruber in Die Hard).
31:05 Westerns seem to bring out the "I'll kill you" in Carly.
Favorite western? It has to be SHANE, Still they dont make it like Silverado now a days... Watch it in theaaters when it come out and it was huge! Great flick that brings the 50's into the 80's... A throwback to fun westerns!
So, Kasden (the director of this) made the Big Chill (1983) ... such an iconic film for me during my college years ... which had an ensemble cast that included Kevin Kline and Kevin Costner, but Costner's roll got cut in the editing so Kasden promised to create a roll tailored to him in his next movie, which was this. This was such a fun western that references so many of the tropes from the older classic westerns. Thanks for watching it.
This was the first of three films Kevin Kline and John Cleese made together. You've seen two of them, the third is Fierce Creatures, which also co-stars Jamie Lee Curtis. Yes, the same team from A Fish Called Wanda. Added to the cast is Cary Lowell, the main Bond girl from Licence to Kill with Timothy Dalton. The lady who played Stella in Silverado, you've seen before in Kindergarten Cop.
A possible future movie for you is "Cocoon" from 1985 and directed by Ron Howard (same director as Apollo 13, Parenthood, Ransom, & many others)!
Yes it was the first movie I remember seeing Brian in.
Always hated this movie. Comes across like a handful of Hollywood actors on a cheap movie set reciting cliched dialog…. Not Kasdans best effort.. 3:52
I love westerns and have a bunch that I think you would like. Having said that High Noon is a truly special movie that you should check out. It is VERY different than most Western movies because it is short and fast paced. It is also an allegory for standing up for the law even when it's hard. A truly special story with amazing charachters.
A few others that you might like:
The Man who Shot Liberty Vallence
Yojimbo and A Fistful of Dollars (same story) Also Last Man Standing
True Grit. (Both versions)
High Noon is best.
The movie you're thinking of might be "Maverick" Mel Gibson, James Garner, and Jodie Foster
