Westerns - Cruel Deaths
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2024
- One thing you can pretty much count on when you sit down to a western movie. Someone is going to die. And probably not of natural causes.
For decades, the Western was the king in Hollywood. Big and small screen alike, the genre's popularity goes all the way back to 1903 with The Great Train Robbery. By 1959, there were 26 Western primetime TV shows (of which eight in the top ten most watched that year).
Actors love to die on screen, it makes their role more memorable. Even John Wayne died several times in front of the camera.

Cruelest Death in a western ? That would be Dennis Weaver in Duel at Diablo.Weaver is roasted alive over a fire tied to a wagon wheel . We see the beginning of the torture ,hear his screams and then at the end he is still alive and begs James Garner's character to kill him.Garner gives him a gun and walks away .We hear the gunshot.Weaver's character had killed Garner's Native American Wife .So by the time Weaver dies you hate him but horrified by the way he dies.The only thing like this --was in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the series ) Episode 20 ,6th season -Warren its killed brutally -and part of you thinks he deserved it but you want to throw up in your mouth.
I saw this movie and I agree. Indians knew about torturous death.
Burt Lancaster vs Gary Cooper in Vera Cruz was So Cool. (smile)
Not sure that these deaths can be classified as cruel but they are certainly memorable. Saw Coop win that gunfight with Burt about 70 years ago but it was a scene I never forgot!
My thoughts, exactly. They were memorable, but not particularly "cruel".
Ralph Meeker in "Run of the Arrow"!
My darling clementine morgan earp chased billy clanton to the clanton ranch when hes told billy’s dead he turns to leave mr. Clanton shoots him in the back.
Thank you for sharing. What about Elisa Cooke in Shane.
Or Jack Wilson (Jack Palance)

The First Man Showdown. Burt Lancaster Kills in "The Lawman" Burt Lancaster was Always Quick on the Draw.
Number one cruelest death was in Son of a Gunfighter. What made it so bad? Bad guy Deputy Sheriff Mace Fenton ( Kieron Moore) was stripped down tied up in the hot Sun, had honey poured on him and let fire ants do their work. Second: Showdown At Abilene where Dan Claudius ( Ted DeCorsia) tortured someone with a branding iron. He made sure he did not die right away and suffered for hours:
Just about everyone in Chato's Land by Charles Bronson!
Matthau gets slowly shot full of holes by McQueen in Nevada Smith. Matthau wants McQueen to finish him but McQueen leaves him to suffer.
Karl Malden, wasn't it?!
Yes. My brain fell asleep.
I was thinking big nose and they both fit that category.
@ThomasGidley-kv2uj ,, I think you Mean Karl Malden as Tom Fitch...
@@brianjones7907 I know. Had an Old Guy moment.
Many of these deaths were not 'cruel' per se, but certainly memorable.
I would contend cruelty denotes more the killing of the innocent than either a fair fight or prevention of a fair fight.
Examples:
1. Once Upon a Time in the West. There are two cruel deaths here -- the method of hanging Harmonica's brother by Frank, and Frank shooting a young child just standing there.
2. Little Big Man. Many cruel deaths, mainly massacres by cavalry of Indians on their reservations, lowlighted by the shooting of Sunshine and her baby.
3. The Searchers. The offscreen massacre of Ethan's relatives by Comanches.
The whole movie soldier blue
In el dorado Cole Thornton played by John Wayne goes to face nels mcleod played by christopher George and because his gun hand is paralyzed he resorts to a sneaky move to kill mcleod
Memorable, sure. But most of these aren't particularly "cruel". Maybe Jennifer Jason Lee's death in "The Hateful Eight", as it's by hanging. For me, Ned Logan (Morgan Freeman) being tortured to death (off screen) would be a cruel death. Or Sherman McMasters (Michael Rooker) being dragged to death (again, off-screen) in "Tombstone" as well.
Two of the deaths I disagree were cruel. In the Shootist Books wanted to die in the gunfight rather suffer the cruel Death of cancer. Frank in Once upon in the West got what he deserved he was a cold blooded killer so no sympathy. I know I keep mentioning the Hunting but Oliver Reed and Candice Bergan were both unarmed when shot by the Gene Hackman execution style (sorry too lazy to look up the characters names).
The death of jesse james bu bob ford.
There's cruel, then there ia Tarantino repulsive. Totally unnecessary
