As the story goes, Richard Harris got a call from Clint about the role, and Sir Richard thought it was a prank. At the same time, RH supposedly was watching High Plains Drifter on satellite dish TV back then and looked at it as a sign to take the role.
MacArthurs park is melting in the dark, all the sweet green icing flowing down. Someone left his cake out in the rain and I don’t think he can take it cause it took so long to bake it. That should be the soundtrack for the beat down
I love it when Little Bill changes “The Duke of Death” to “The Duck of Death” before he kicks the s…t out of English Bob. Hackman won best supporting actor for this unforgettable performance.
The Nebraska line is excellent although not quite as good as - “I don’t deserve to die like this - deserves got nothing to do with it.” Agree with the comment on Eastwood one one liners -Outlaw Josey Wales - disgracefully overlooked for Oscars “Dying ain’t no way to make a living boy”!!
Thanks for upping this an the next scene SashMak. This is probably my favorite western film of all time, by a mile. English Bob, Little Bill, biographer Beauchamp wettin himself in fear, Whore's gold....this on top of some superb dialogue.
Hands down...the best BeatDown scene of all times...So many fantastic elements make up the whole. The opening...stepping out to be surprised by "guns in the face".....then the biographer "losing his water"......also...the classic line and shot "I'll have that 32, Bob"....and finally, the best component, the sudden, stunning contrast of Little Bill's character....initially an easy-going, mild mannered small-town sheriff instantly becomes a brutal, vicious enforcer.
@@nathanadrian7797 I mostly agree, except the coward in _Lonesome Dove_ doesn't have even the courage to tell Newt he was his father. Lotta cowards doing beatdowns in the film industry 😂
Gene Hackman could make a PSA for foot odor compelling. Right there with Anthony Hopkins and Meryl Streep as one of the greatest actors of the 20th century. He owns every scene he's ever been in. He was in a couple of so-so movies, but his acting was always elite.
He thought he'd made himself righteous. "I'm building a house. I'm a good man. I don't deserve this." He thought his gunnies would handle everything. He didn't take on English Bob, alone. He made sure he got the drop on him.
You sure missed that one- Little Bill faced up to Clint and told the others to shoot him after Clint fired- he looked him straight in the eye until Clint pulled the trigger, he never backed down.
exactly on point@@Paul1958R Little Bill tried to establish law and order, which means stamping out vigilantes. The rabble loved Little Bill getting executed, but he's actually not the villain in this movie.
Guess you think I'm kickin you, funny, but nobody's laughing, then when he's says there ain't no whores gold, looking at strawberry Alice, and the other deputies looking confused about it,just an awesome scene
I was wondering the same thing, but then realized that English Bob was there for a shave, not a haircut. At 4:40 you can see a close up of his smooth chin. Little Bill finished the job nicely!
I thought that was Cromwell ( Lord protector of England) who instigated Charles 1st death. Unless you are thinking of Queen Elizabeth and Mary Queen of Scots.?
I always thought it was the worst western I ever saw, even though a high school friend played one of the hookers! Pale Rider, and The Outlaw Josey Wales were both far better! Lonesome Dove is the best western IMO.
Someone left his face out in the street, and I don’t think that he can take it , coz it took so long to kick it, and he’ll never have his peacemaker again … oh no.
Best western ever made IMO. Hackman is so good in this role -- you wanted him to die as much as any villain in any movie ever made. Funny thing is he just represents a long-time trend in law enforcement -- putting a bully in charge of policing the other bullies.
Yeah, yeah cops are so bad, but who else is going to protect weak men like you? I mean let's face it, you should be down on your knees thanking every cop you see, because without them you'd have been purged a long time ago.
Isn't that the basis of The State? The citizenry grants a monopoly on violence to just one select group (elected, these days), rather than suffer competition among many competitors for most violent. Little Bill understood that establishing law and order in the wild west meant ruthlessly stamping out vigilantes. That's the fundamental social contract. This movie is a masterpiece that rewards multiple viewings-- on my first viewing I thought that Little Bill was the villain but I've since reconsidered. The real villain is the human propensity for violence.
English Bob was The Duke of Death from the train ride all the way up till he left the barbershop then when he opened the inside door & saw Little Bill than he very quickly became Old Bob The Duck of Death especially after Little Bill kicked the poohp out of poor Old Bob
If you enjoyed watching this great scene, I strongly recommend that you watch the second clip, witch is: Unforgiven: Two-Gun Corcoron There you will see more on little Bill and English Bob.. A great and funny scene.
Hackman and Harris giving a master class in acting here !
Hackman is an amazing actor. So believable.
Morgan Freeman said when Little Bill (Gene) was torturing and threatening him, he didn't have to act terrified. He believed him.
Still got his ass kicked in end 😅
Bully in real life, this comes natural to him.
@@CorePathway Bully in real life? What ya got?

"I'll have that .32, Bob."
And thats when English Bob finally looked like a dangerous man. And he did look deadly dangerous. Graat show.
They don't make actors like The great Gene Hackman anymore.
Or Richard Harris.
" Hell, I even thought I was dead, but it turns out I was just in Nebraska. " This movie has a lot of good one-liners. Just like all Eastwood movies.
I was in Nebraska in the Air Force and Little Bill is absolutely correct.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was in Nebraska when I saw this. It got a big laugh.
I reckon so...-Josey Wales
You can't say better then that. The rest is just down hill.
Some of these actors have been working with Clint Eastwood since the 1970's. Lot of loyalty there.

It’s hell of a thing to kill a man, to take away all he’s got and all he’s ever going to have…. Always sticks with me such an outstanding film.
Yeah well I guess he had it coming!
Richard Harris sadly missed ,,,

Awesome movie that was filmed just outside of my hometown of Canmore Alberta. Kananaskis Country Alberta!

That should be the soundtrack for the beat down
Very well written script. And great actors to play it out.
I guess you think I'm kicking you Bob,isn't so( as he kicks him again)😂
I loved it when they gave Bob's pistol back with the barrel bent 90 degrees back at him.
180°.

Gene played this role so well. When I first saw this movie in a theater, I wanted to kill the SOB.

Little Bill is such a fucking pussy. Him getting shot in the face is the highlight of this movie.
That's what happens when the enforcer knows the victim is unarmed.
Be governed accordingly.
The beat down in "Lonesome Dove" is far better. in this one, a coward attacks a loud mouth being held at gunpoint.

Transcript
lol good old englishman telling the yanks a thing or two
funny ass line though!!
Great casting.
Gene Hackman could make a PSA for foot odor compelling. Right there with Anthony Hopkins and Meryl Streep as one of the greatest actors of the 20th century. He owns every scene he's ever been in. He was in a couple of so-so movies, but his acting was always elite.
Poseidon adventure comes to mind
@@gregorymabrey7508 "so-so movie" wise? Yeah... and I always thought Superman was a very mediocre movie. (I know... sacrilege)
Meryl Streep is an actress,not an actor. Ignorant.
It was good to see in the end that little bill wasn't nearly as tough as he thought he was and he got what he deserved.
He thought he'd made himself righteous. "I'm building a house. I'm a good man. I don't deserve this."
He thought his gunnies would handle everything. He didn't take on English Bob, alone. He made sure he got the drop on him.
@@harrymills2770 Deserves got nothin to do with it
You sure missed that one- Little Bill faced up to Clint and told the others to shoot him after Clint fired- he looked him straight in the eye until Clint pulled the trigger, he never backed down.
@@harrymills2770Well, yes- that's the safest way, after all.
exactly on point@@Paul1958R Little Bill tried to establish law and order, which means stamping out vigilantes. The rabble loved Little Bill getting executed, but he's actually not the villain in this movie.
Little Bill deserved his fate.
Guess you think I'm kickin you, funny, but nobody's laughing, then when he's says there ain't no whores gold, looking at strawberry Alice, and the other deputies looking confused about it,just an awesome scene
Always so silly when shooters suddenly cock their weapons half way through a confrontation.
Single action , maybe a hair trigger .
Someone had a little website on this, called it "gratuitous cocking."
Great scene... lots of tension. Note the nervous horse. Good detail.
I've heard it said William Munny is actually Josey Wales trying to live peacefully in obscurity.
The character "English Bob" was custom designed to annoy Americans, and boy doesnt he just.
I thought arrogant dickheads annoyed everybody. 😎
I'm American, and i thought he was great.
Bob was perfectly willing to work for Americans, though.
This movie was wall to wall American. You don't know what you're talking about.
@@sp10sn except for English bob... Who is played by Richard Harris. Who is Irish. You plum.
If you stood in the presents of royalty you would dismiss all thought of violence and stand in awe.
.....the Irish have entered this chat.
presence
@@yanni2112
I suppose it is actually possible to stand in certain presents.
Shoes for instance.
You’ve made that obvious
Multiple actually tried to assassinate the exact person he's talking about.
American swagger meets English fancy
So they're standing there pointing unloaded guns at English Bob and don't load until Little Bill reaches into his bag.
Guns were loaded just not cocked. This is a time before semiautomatic.
Right? What if Bob slipped his sleeve shooter? At the lest, Gene would be dead or maybe wounded. Or not.
@@artdeco64 They would rack the slide for the same audio/visual effect anyway.
Jesus, how'd the barber let that guy out of his chair with a haircut like that?
I was wondering the same thing, but then realized that English Bob was there for a shave, not a haircut. At 4:40 you can see a close up of his smooth chin. Little Bill finished the job nicely!
@1845jc One of the best lines in movie history!!!!
Guess you think I'm kicking you bob!
I had the same misconception myself.
Damn, Gene Hackman just kicked Dumbledore's ass all over that town!
Doesn't matter they burn the table in 78 for firewood😂
In the end, Lil Bill got what he deserved! ☠️
"We all have it coming."
But he was building a house.😊
Karma. What comes around, goes around.
This movie shows that most "wild west" action was actually in the Midwest.
Wyoming is nowhere near the Midwest.
@@JesusDiedLMFAO Yes it is. The Midwest is exactly that. The middle of America.
@@iamgermane stop.
Filmed in Alberta, Canada.
@@jackshadow325 Still the Midwest!
This is why we must be willing to fight and die for our rights to bear arms. It literally is the only reason we have the other rights still
You Don t know what dictatorship is. You don t what you re talking about
All those guns pointed and none of them able to be fired if need be. LOL.
I guess he didn't realize that Queen Victoria, herself, had survived multiple assassination attempts.
The Duck Of Death
The Duck of Death?
Did all those guys really have empty chambers when the writer went to his briefcase?
So much for your “Queen”
Marcus Aurelius himself.
The Duck of Death....! LOLOL ....He forgot to duck...!
Has there ever been a western town Hackman entered that he wasn't the corrupt sherriff of lol
Little Bill was the good guy in this film. Just because the assassin was the protagonist doesn't mean he was a force for good.
@@justinbailey1756 No he wasn't.
@@justinbailey1756 I do not think there was any "good guys" in that film and that was probably the point.
@@johnnyskied But he was building a house! He didn’t deserve that!
@@dr.badass702 That leaky thing?? Did him a favor, nobody should have to live like that.
....hot ain't it 🔥🔥
Nothing more unamerican than disarming someone entering an american town.
Well Bob wasnt American lol
Gene Hackman is the best actor first class Ye good he made a movie with Clint Eastwood eh No actors can acts like them eh
They can show that on RUclips, but they won't let you show screwing the silencer on a weapon, doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever
English Bob talking mad shit in defense of the queen for someone who had Charles I executed
I thought that was Cromwell ( Lord protector of England) who instigated Charles 1st death.
Unless you are thinking of Queen Elizabeth and Mary Queen of Scots.?
@@John-ob7dh yes, it was Cromwell, that’s my point
i guess you think im kicking you bob
And then, Clint enters the picture.
None of those guys cocked their weapons before the man reached into his pockets?
So nice that lil Bob dies in the end
The irony is that English Bob doesn't die; he leaves town to lick his wounds. It's Little Bill that gets wiped out by William Munny in the end.
You been talking about the Queen again? On Independence Day?
press 7
Dude in the opening scene could be Joe Walsh's brother🤣
I guess that's Richard Harris from Macarthur's Park
Thought I died and gone to hell, but it turned out that the bus just stopped in LA.
This is probably the best Western movie of all time. I think Clint gets number two as well.
I always thought it was the worst western I ever saw, even though a high school friend played one of the hookers! Pale Rider, and The Outlaw Josey Wales were both far better! Lonesome Dove is the best western IMO.
@@nathanadrian7797 Agree with everything except the #1 Western is The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. 😁😉

Bill its only a Peacemaker
I saw that at first Hackman didn’t want the role. Didn’t like playing the bad guy.
I wonder if the airbags are made safe in the junkyard.
I'd hate to get an accidental airbag deployment In the face.
Of course the English Roundheads had killed Charles I without any problems around AWE…
Little Bill beat the shit out of English bob.😂
Americans love to take a poke at the British. It makes them feel better.
Well you can't blame them , we did burn the White House down once.
I have the feeling this isn't about Independence Day----I think it's personal
Books huh… I guess that means you boys can read
That scene still hurts me. I feel it as an assault on humanity.
Poor Bob had his difficulty level turned up to black when dealing with the police
Make sure you don't get wet.
If you enjoyed watching this great scene, I strongly recommend that you watch the second clip, witch is:
Unforgiven: Two-Gun Corcoron
There you will see more on little Bill and English Bob.. A great and funny scene.
elder abuse.
a lot of americans will end up looking like poor english bob if ted cruz goes to the u.s. sentate.
Wow after 12 years did you ever imagine you could make the gayest comment?
Just as long as its scum lefties. Expect a Pinochet helicopter ride
Little Bill is a coward
Little Bill sure loves kicking the shit out of people while listing US cities. "Abilene!" [kick] "Amarillo!" [kick] "Wichita!" [kick]
