They don't make them like this anymore. I remember watching this movie with my older brother on VHS in his room downstairs when we were kids late at night. I never thought we would be able to "stream" through my laptop. 😢
@@mobydick3895 As a Brit, I agree. I saw through the BS taught to me at school and did my own studying of American history: the Founding Fathers, American Civil War, the Constitution, Congress and the Senate, America's entrance onto the world stage as a superpower at the end of WW1 etc. Best country in the world.
"At best he'll get 2 or 3 down front there"... His own men. Perfect dialog summary of 'Mr. Red Legs' character right there. I never get tired of this Western!!
"At best he'll get 2 or 3 down front there" That line always makes me split my gut laughing. Those "men up front" are obviously doing it for the money. Certainly no respect and admiration for their commander.
He didn't really care about his own Men, but just wanted to get Josey Wales. Mr. Yankee Redlegs:A truly heartless character! It was him and his unit, that slaughtered Josey Wale's Wife and Children, and burned Josey's House to the ground. Mr. Redlegs brought his own eventual death sentence upon himself, and didn't even know it, until Josey finally caught up with him!
The dude playing Slim Carstarirs also played a barber in Hang 'em High and the biker who did the Every Which Way But Loose movies. Clint is loyal to his stock players just as Orson Wells was. And Martin Scrocesee.
I didn't quite understand it as a kid when I saw it at the theater, but it is a classic. The snake oil salesman, the kid, the Indian, Josey..... a true cast of characters.
I first saw this movie on an overseas Marine Corps base when I was ten years old. It’s been one of my favorites ever since. The Marines would get the latest movies from the States and show them to the civilians ever Friday night. I got my picture taken with Clint Eastwood when I was about six or seven, I was already a huge fan
@@tudyk21 You young buck, I saw it at The Catlow Theater in Barrington Illinois with my friend Greg Cavalier. The theater is still there, it has to be a 100 years old with incredible woodwork. It appears the owner might need help keeping it afloat, though. Sad if something happens to it.
My family met him while skiing, he was super cool and agreed to take a picture with me. I was a kid but Clint and John Wayne were larger than life to me, I was starstruck
One of my favorite scenes of the film. Love how that Ferry guy sings the Dixie song in Josey and the kids presence but sings the battle hyme of the republic to the northerners minutes later 😂😂😂
Love how the scene goes from incredibly tense as we wonder what he will do to a dismissive remark to the carpet bagger the Missura boat ride then the banjo starts playing Dixie and the comedy of the horses falling in. Sweet relief to the audience. Great movie making.
I watch every clint eastwood movie when I was a teen. now I'm 68 yrs old. still watching him I just love him. Now movies of today r senless stupid. clint! I heard ur 90 but ur The King ❤️ 😍
I doubt anyone has commented but that thing is going to float down the river to the ocean unless they jump off and get on land. I wonder if anybody thinks about this stuff
Funniest scene in the movie. I still love the Sharps rifle that was used by Clint Eastwood. You can see that's a converted percussion model 1859 or 1863.
Anyone who loves this movie needs to read the book. And the sequel. Clint bought the rights to the sequel, "The Vengeance Trail of Josie Wales", and was supposed to make a movie of it as well. Never happened, unfortunately, as the story is just as good. Highly recommend reading it.
This is a treasure, from a time when the supporting actors played real yokels but with personality that seems very authentic for that time. It's not done that way in modern Western movies. Love it\
It's realistic when they said he could only get a couple up front. If this movie was made today Josey would fire his rifle and kill them all in rapid fire succession.
Bronco Billy had some good scenes but he wanted a movie to star Sondra Locke in. It wasn't his best. I really didn't like The Gauntlet. Now there was a stinker.@@rodneygilbert5183
If i was on the barge with captain terrell, and he said josey's gonna try to pick us off one by one and best he'll do is get 2 or 3 up front, if i was upfront, i would have told terrell, then you need to get up front here, our fearless leader and lead us to victory since we have them outnumbered
When ol' captain Terrell said " at best he'll do is get two or three up front at picking em' off one by one" if i was up front, i'd say then you come up front here our fearless leader.
And Hillary was the greatest carpet bagger of all time. From Chicago, to Fayettville, Ark. to Washington D.C. to D.C. again then onto New York City and trying to get back in the White House with her Lolita flying husband.
So instead of simply cutting the rope, he waits to shoot the rope where it crosses the ferry. The ferryman doesn’t have time to catch it and loses the rope out the far side so he can’t even return to the home bank. They drift aimlessly unable to get the ferry to either shore meaning they’d have to swim and risk losing their gear and being scattered. Josey delayed their pursuit by maybe a day with that little move.
Who is still enjoying this brilliant film in 2024 ?
Me 2o23
Everyone that has a God given brain!!
2024 now will always enjoy
I do
Top 5 movie ever in my list
One of the best damn westerns ever made. Long live Clint.
if not THE best
jep

Eric Geary Clint's 90th birthday today!🤗🤠🔫🐴🐎🏞️🇺🇸
@@jessesands4099 great! I wish I could have a beer with him. He likes beer
I love how the ferryman changes songs mid-stream. JOSEY WALES is one the great American Westerns!
Ya, typical Joe citizen, lol :(
I love America. I love everything about it. America has a history that is worth studying, and thinking about.

when my dad and I have to lift something we always go 1, 2, 3, PULL EMULE PULL
I was reading the comments and this one made me spit coffee all over my dashboard😂😂😂
Look away look away look away Dixie land.
I miss my Dad
You have a good dad 👍
Pull, Lemuel, Pull…
"Well Mr. Carpetbagger, we got something in this territory called a Missoura boat ride!" Classic!
That was classic wasn't it
I advise you to turn back, Captain.
I’m from Rhode Island. My cousin lives in Missouri. I send him this al the time! He’ll probably block me!! No he won’t! He loves me. Lol
When the Piano starts getting upset you know it's good
Exactly! I love this scene! And the ferryman singing both songs... Pure comedy!
Definitely one of Clint Eastwood's best movies, and certainly one of my favorite.
I am a 80 yr old man living in the Philipines. I never get tired watching Josie Wales thanks for the clips.
Marvelous film and I’ve watched it many times and I never tire of it. Clint is a marvelous actor.
The transition from Dixie to Battle Hymn halfway through the river was so funny
...and so was seeing the guide rope shot clean through, with just one shot!
Bye bye, you Red-Legs!!!
William o Connell just died maybe a month ago at 90.
Well . . . you gonna post that comment or whistle Dixie?
"At best he'll get 2 or 3 down front there"... His own men.
Perfect dialog summary of 'Mr. Red Legs' character right there.
I never get tired of this Western!!
Doin right ain't got no end.

Clint and I share the same birthday. He is exactly 30 years older than me and I always raise a glass to him.
"well, mister carpet bagger, we got something in this territory called the Missouri Boat ride!". I love that line!
Guy Faux Shut up Lige
You only need a converted Sharps rifle to send out an invitation.
Missoura
Whupped 'em again, boy!
One of the best scenes from one of the best westerns ever made.
Not ONE of the best Westerns.....The best ever made....
I love those old Civil War songs so much and I'm Australian!🤗🤠🐎🐴⚔️🇺🇸🇦🇺
I'm scotch irish and both sides confederate and union had soldiers a good civil war song to look up is called Kelly's irish brigade
This is my favorite movie of all time nothing beats it I remember my dad showed th is to me when I was 5 I’m 17 now and it will always be my favorite
i saw this in the movie theater as a teenager in the 70's,in fact it was at a mall in Richmond Virginia.loved this movie ever since i first saw it.
Willow Lawn was it?
Clint you are the best and always will be
You know it!
The dude playing Slim Carstarirs also played a barber in Hang 'em High and the biker who did the Every Which Way But Loose movies. Clint is loyal to his stock players just as Orson Wells was. And Martin Scrocesee.
Clint had his own Ford/Wayne type cast of returning actors. Loved it. 👍
I believe it's Sim Carstairs
Actor William O'Connell. He played the barber in _High Plains Drifter_ (not Hang 'Em High). He is 89.
I didn't quite understand it as a kid when I saw it at the theater, but it is a classic. The snake oil salesman, the kid, the Indian, Josey..... a true cast of characters.

Quite possibly the greatest line ever spoke ina movie.
"Missouri boat ride" 😅
And "At best he'll get two or three up front there."
Doesn't matter. They were probably Biden voters. No loss.
The sharps rifle speaks.
I love this movie it never gets old
My favorite Western. With all the colorful characters that he puts in his movies.
One of my favorite scenes of the film. Love how that Ferry guy sings the Dixie song in Josey and the kids presence but sings the battle hyme of the republic to the northerners minutes later 😂😂😂
“With equal enthusiasm…”
Sim: "Pull Lemuel!"
Lemuel: "uuuuahhhy"
Love how the scene goes from incredibly tense as we wonder what he will do to a dismissive remark to the carpet bagger the Missura boat ride then the banjo starts playing Dixie and the comedy of the horses falling in. Sweet relief to the audience. Great movie making.
My favorite scene!
Captain, I advise you to turn back.
Alternative: Missouri boat ride.
That was a great movie thank you Clint
One of the best westerns ever made
"I can`t hold on BUT I`ll hold on"
Hilarious, yea and love Emuel as well
Uuhhaa...
Clint was really good. He made the characters real and true
Well mr. Carpet bagger....we have a thing in this territory called a Missouri boat ride!!!
Well Mr. Carpet bagger! 😂 My favorite Eastwood movie and in my opinion the Greatest Western ever.
I like how he is napping when they are coming across
"You can pay me when you see me again Mr Josey Wales ".. lol
Man I love this film. Can never get bored watching it.
Singing one song till half way across river always cracked me up lol!
Probably my favorite Eastwood film!
Clint in his prime.
The famous Missouri boat ride!
My late Fathers favorite Western. Loved Clint Eastwood. As do I.
River crossing guide is the shaky hand barber in High Plains Drifter
William O’Connell.
An one a' them , ' Black Widdas' . . . .
"Emuel" reminds me of my boss at work.
Yes Clint use a lot of same actors in many of his movies. They all worked good together.
Is William O Connell still alive ?
I watch every clint eastwood movie when I was a teen. now I'm 68 yrs old. still watching him I just love him. Now movies of today r senless stupid. clint! I heard ur 90 but ur The King ❤️ 😍
I wish I was in Dixie, look away look away, in Dixieland I'll take my stand away down south in Dixie!
I believe it's "In Dixieland, I'll take my stand to live and die in Dixie." (No offense intended.) Be well and be safe.
My favorite western, should be at least top 10 for everyone! Great movie!
Can't get enough. Just watched it again. Gawd ol mighty!! 😊
This is one of my favorite segments of the movie. 👍👍
Best part of the whole movie, keeps getting funnier everytime I see it.
I doubt anyone has commented but that thing is going to float down the river to the ocean unless they jump off and get on land. I wonder if anybody thinks about this stuff
@@caddyworks3307 not til now, but you're right! Unless it hit a bank or rocks.
Funniest scene in the movie. I still love the Sharps rifle that was used by Clint Eastwood. You can see that's a converted percussion model 1859 or 1863.
One of the funnier scenes, especially “I advise you to turn back, captain “
whooped them again Josey!!!
One of the best westerns ever made, I reckon so!
You gonna draw them pistols or are you gonna whistle Dixie ,good cowboy movie
Anyone who loves this movie needs to read the book.
And the sequel. Clint bought the rights to the sequel, "The Vengeance Trail of Josie Wales", and was supposed to make a movie of it as well. Never happened, unfortunately, as the story is just as good. Highly recommend reading it.
Read it too g
This movie is KING of the one-liners
The Missouri boat ride, love it!
This is a treasure, from a time when the supporting actors played real yokels but with personality that seems very authentic for that time. It's not done that way in modern Western movies. Love it\
This is Clint’s personal favorite.I can see why.
I think unforgiven may be his personal favorite.
Both classics and great movie's.
From the book Gone To Texas Clint Eastwood made a brilliant movie its one of the best western ever made
I cannot find that book. Do you think they may have changed the title?
A legend....Clint Eastwood ❤
I advise you to turn back, captain.
After all, fat, stupid and drunk is no way to go through life son.
Jack's Pick Phone i
Charles hahahahahahahaha
Excellent advice. Too bad the arrogant "Captain Red Legs" didn't take it. He paid a heavy price for not doing so. Serves him right.
It's realistic when they said he could only get a couple up front. If this movie was made today Josey would fire his rifle and kill them all in rapid fire succession.
I've never seen a bad Clint Eastwood movie!
Play Misty for me.
Bronco Billy
The Bridges of Madison County. Good grief, that was a stinker. But, Clint did innumerable classics. Too many to mention.
Bronco Billy had some good scenes but he wanted a movie to star Sondra Locke in. It wasn't his best. I really didn't like The Gauntlet. Now there was a stinker.@@rodneygilbert5183
pull emuel pull, haewwwahja
brilliant stuff mr jose wales
Gotta love the old Sharps. During the Civil War so many new cartridge and rifle designs were patented.
Now there's a kid with a bullet in his gut saying,"GOD ALMIGHTY". Bless his heart!!!
The Missouri boat ride. Like it, Yankees?
If i was on the barge with captain terrell, and he said josey's gonna try to pick us off one by one and best he'll do is get 2 or 3 up front, if i was upfront, i would have told terrell, then you need to get up front here, our fearless leader and lead us to victory since we have them outnumbered
Underrated classic.
one of hte greatest westerms pf all time !
Emuel stills the scene!
Whupped 'em again, Josie.
I miss TBS Clint Eastwood marathon every Thanksgiving
When ol' captain Terrell said " at best he'll do is get two or three up front at picking em' off one by one" if i was up front, i'd say then you come up front here our fearless leader.
Classic scene. Classic film.
"Dying aint much of a living boy"
Clint has always been king of the one liners
I think Fletcher, a.k.a. Dean Wormer, knew a Missouri Boat Ride was a-comin'.
That boat ride would be more fun than just crossing for .10 cents 🤣
The best Western ever made.
THE BEST DAM WESTERN EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jamie: What are we going to do?
Josey: (Takes out rifle) Bring out your board, kid. Yankee don’t surf.
They play the Dixie music at the end lol such a great film
My favorite scene!
“”RED LEGS”” is still a term used Today in the UNITED STATES ARMY......
“”CARPET BAGGER”” is still a term used In the South Today.......
And Hillary was the greatest carpet bagger of all time. From Chicago, to Fayettville, Ark. to Washington D.C. to D.C. again then onto New York City and trying to get back in the White House with her Lolita flying husband.
I am a Redleg Artillery.
The guys who fought in Tje Plain of Jars ares in Vietnam had red-legged jungle fatigues from the red clay.
*the
*area
Artillery troops are familiarly known as Redlegs.
“It’ll do just about anything will it? How is it on stains?”
I just love this scene! ♥️
At best he will get two or three up front.
This film has every type of character, its like a look back in time to how the West really was 👍
So instead of simply cutting the rope, he waits to shoot the rope where it crosses the ferry. The ferryman doesn’t have time to catch it and loses the rope out the far side so he can’t even return to the home bank.

"At best he'll get two or three up front"
The two or three up front: "Huh??"
CLINT E! Best ever Western actor! Thanks. John P.
I may have to watch this again..
Lemuel is my favorite!
Yes I love whn Clint did it
*"A Missouri Boat Ride!"*
Best movie.
Ol Missoura boat ride ....love it
Best film made for years
I love this movie!
And that river is swift deep and cold
Lemuel is my favorite character in this movie.
Should've had a sequel featuring him. Lol
Just love it. Got to love it.
