“That gun shoots straight, I wouldn’t sell it if it didn’t.” It’s nice that the kid knows that Herod is doing everything to give Cort the disadvantage, and he wants Cort to know that he won’t let him go into a fight practically unarmed.
"What else you got?" "Well I got this Ugly Colt, made by an insane Mexican bandit, he waltzed in one day, took several Revolvers and mixed and matched parts until he made it to his liking...stole it and all my money that day" "How'd you get it back?" "A fella in a poncho, smoking a foul cigarillo returned it"
The cheapest gun is a Colt Navy Conversion. An 1861 gun converted from cap and ball to fire cartridges at the factory. They were half the price of peacemakers and were very popular. They shot straight.
@@bumblbesss It was a brilliant business decision, for sure. My dad had a replica made up in the 1990s as they weren't yet available commercially (replicas that is). I remember it had problems indexing, but I'm sure that was do to the gunsmith working on what was essentially an experiment.
I like the "Used with great success on, um, thirty-s - haw, thirty-five bank robberies by its late owner." Presumably he was going to say thirty-six, but then remembered the thirty-sixth wasn't 'greatly successful', as it was likely the one where the owner died.
Supposedly they unsure if he would be able to play the role, and sharron stone helped him out with his acting in this movie. Now he makes no less than 20m a movie.
In a nice moment, the Kid promises Cort it's a good gun that'll shoot straight. Even in the likelihood that he and Cort might have to face each other in the duels. He proves himself more honorable than his own damn father.
The kid was proceeding to give Cort a full cylinder before being stopped by Herod. This perhaps adds to the Kid's sincerity in the eyes of the audience.
I love the fact Cort spins around the expensive revolver and says he has no money and the Lord will provide him with everything he needs...then Gene Hackman literally buys him a gun and an effective one.
It may have been junk compared to the custom jobs he was displaying but I’d still trust my life to that Colt navy considering how well firearms were constructed back then. And it was the most widely known and popular revolver well into the 1890’s
Funny you mention that. The remark about "That gun shoots straight. I wouldn't sell it if it didn't" reminds me very much of my every day job selling guns. I sell many, many used Hi-Point C9s and carbines in the $150-200 range without any compunctions at all that they could be used for critical self-defense. Their drawbacks of Hi-Points are not in reliability or accuracy.

Well come on, 2 years prior look at the work Michael Biehn and Val Kilmer did with their gun spinning in Tombstone, there's standards! ::happily met both men in 2019 before shit went south with conventions:::
Not a 44.. its an 1875 remington 45 colt catridges. The 1858 youre talking about didnt have catridges. Or a side door like an 1873 colt to load catridges. Or the spring lever to eject them. This one had all that.. notice no nipples on the cylinder either. The 1875 looks identical framing wise and the old rammer lever on the 1858 is part of the frame on a 1875.. hense why they look near identical to the untrained eye like yours and other ppl on here. Sorry ima 1800s gun nerd.. have tons of em too.. So i can spot the differences
That piece of shit is a Colt Navy .36-caliber cartridge conversion gun... it used to be a black powder front loader, now it's a .38 Colt brass cartridge revolver. It's a real marginal thing. Might be a reasonably good shot, might be a mis-matched piece of garbage. The Kid insists "it shoots straight" (which was a major issue with the cartridge conversions).
@@jasoncarswell7458 My old man used to had that piece of shit. Actually when I was just a kiddo and hairs were barely started growing up around my balls I learned shoot cans with that crap.
I really like how he shows off the guns in this scene. The way they sound are displayed. Really shows how much care has been put into them for this scene
paul lytle it's a cylinder and it won't hurt the gun to spin it now if you have a double action gun and you slam the cylinder shut yeah thats bad for it.
I was just thinking about that. Human beings look much better when they are NOT FAT. As we age, we all tend to get fatter and fatter. I'm going on a diet.
Nice sales pitch. Lead with a collector's piece to gauge the customer's eye, swap to a customized piece with a history to see if the customer is appreciative of the work before bringing out a tricked out custom piece to see if they would bite for the most expensive gun in the shop. Toss them a gun with an "offer" to lock down a price to see what they are worth before going further. Even his offer of the "cheapest piece of crap" speaks volumes. His offer of 5 bucks for a gun that shoots straight means that he has a minimum integrity limit; he won't sell garbage in his store.
For anyone curious, that is a colt navy revolver which was converted from a cap and ball to a cartridge. It’s one of the predecessors to the Peacemaker, which was the gun he flipped around his hand.
@@logicplaguenope. Colt 1851 .36 Navy Revolver. Most likely a Richards-Mason conversion to be exact. Originally a cap-and-ball, converted to accept metallic cartridges. A .36 bore, modern, non-heeled bullets are 0.357 inches in diameter, usually converted to fire .38 Long Colt back then. There are modern reproductions made for .38 Special. .38 Long Colt is expensive but still available for purists. .38 Short Colt, .38 Long Colt, and .38 Special will all work in a .357 Magnum revolver. Cowboy Action, with the exception of Wild Bunch matches, aren't my usual thing but i do own three Single-Action revolvers: a Ruger Blackhawk in .357 Magnum with a 9mm cylinder, a Super Blackhawk in .44 Magnum, and my late paternal grandfather's third gen Colt Frontier model in .44-40. Bought it off my youngest male first cousin. My grandfather left it to my oldest uncle, the oldest son. He gave it to my cousin when he moved out as it's tradition in my family that once one moves out on their own they get a decent amount of money and means to defend themselves. This past Christmas i saw him for the first time in many years. I was 10 when he was born. He'll 38 this summer. In conversation, he mentioned his now fiancée found the Colt and she doesn't want guns in their house and was short for holiday shopping. He considered pawning thought of pawning it. I offered $1800 for it cash, it's worth $2200, $2300 easy. A few scratches and holster wear, cherry wood grips that our grandfather made himself but otherwise in excellent condition. Top purchasing points: He knew it would go to a good home with me, no need to pay back, and the most important, at least for me, it stays in the family. I'm a firm believer in family heirlooms should remain just that. Besides, i already have his Winchester 1894 in .44-40, might as well complete the set. I also have our grandmother's Colt 1908 .380 as well. She was an excellent shot with it.
Cort: "I'll pass on the Schofield 45. How the hell am i going to do my spinning gun tricks with no trigger guard? The whole movie is spinning gun tricks!"
@Brian Fortin In the hot western sun, probably more likely to reach for the pistol with metal grips and throw it 20 feet hissing an expletive. Also it might do fine for shooting once a day in this tournament, but I can't imagine the shock absorption would have been great either for actual prolonged use? But I'm just a smooth-brain that's never held a gun.
@@victorrain The capacity of some people to take everything they hear or read literally, never ceases to amaze me. You have to be an American who has never seen the need in a passport?
@@victorrain , that was sarcasm, but being comfortable with the gun is a huge part of shooting. In order to twirl a gun like that, you need to have practiced a lot. That means he’s very comfortable with a gun in his hand. Obviously, it’s not a guarantee of being a good shooter, but it’s a good indication.
Poor Cort is like an alcoholic who’s been sober for years being dragged into a bar and shown a ton of fine spirits. And Herod is the guy egging him on to take a drink
This scene inspired me to start fun spinning. Going really well, and has actually help me break from bad habits and addictions focusing on it! Thanks Dad, Westerns rule!
I usually ask for the cheapest gun when I go to a gun store. As you would expect that are not usually pleased, DiCaprios reaction is pretty accurate in this case.
It appears to me that The Kid is using these expensive showpieces as 'sizzle'; a well used routine to whet the appetites of any customer that comes in. He gives his spiel, and while he never sells these fancy pieces, The Kid has, at the very least, convinced even the most casual visitor to buy *something*. Herod knows this sales routine of old. And knows it's the best shot in order to tempt Cort back into the old ways. So essentially, what we're seeing is Herod using the Kid to sell *his* product.
@@reddragon52894 Then you don't know salesmanship. This is exactly what car dealers do. They put the best in their showroom, knowing only the wealthiest in town will buy those, but it hooks in anybody looking for a car. That best actually makes what is on the lot look just as good because those are affordable.
@@reddragon52894 too hard for what? if you don't state the purpose then your statement is literally meaningless. You're spouting words for an excuse to experience emotions without understanding
I always wondered why he did that. This Actually makes sense. The sizzle also makes sense since court is trying incredibly hard not WANT to touch the guns. Especially since Herod knows Court. The very second Court gets that revolver, he starts spinning it. And testing the action. It's at that very moment Herod smiles because he knew he got Court exactly where he wanted him. Thanks for this. It adds another layer to this scene I never noticed before.
The prices are wrong for the time period, but the kid is spot on. As a gunsmith, every single passionate kid who starts in a gun shop sells guns this way, usually takes a couple months for them to settle down and realize that most people aren't nearly as passionate about guns as we are.
It was just a line from the movie Dude. Remember that's what he told the Kid when he told him to step down. I thought is was kinda funny. I didn't really care about what you meant.
I saw some kind of behind-the-scenes documentary on this movie on youtube. If I remember correctly, Gene Hackman was said to have spent the most time trying to perfect gun spinning. Russell Crowe obviously became amazingly good at it, as well. Leo did a good job, too.
Any of those wheelguns today would command quite the price tag, there is just something about revolvers that I love, which is why I own a S&W Model 327 R8, it's the perfect fusion of modern tech with that old school wheelgun attitude, plus it's hard to argue with 8 rounds of .357 Magnum with a rapid reload using "moon clips".
dreamlandnightmare yah it was left at a cabin my parents bought. It was on VHS and it was the only movies I watched when I was there. This was like 15 years ago lol
@@ethanwood9124 agreed, and the female lead is absolutely dreadful. I love Crowe, dicaprio, and Hackman, but this movie is not only cornball, the subplot is garbage.
You have to take it on its own terms, as a kind of parable. What it does, it does well, and the acting is....well, look at who's acting. Nobody calls it in.

the Sententious Vaunter and Eli adlibbed the whole scene. He didn’t have a clue about guns in real life. But many have said he did a good job pretending he did.
@@jblvxk Ladies and gentlemen, we have a complete moron showing itself. Usually the species is quiet and realizes how stupid it is but the occasional member will show itself like a groundhog.
I got one of the guns used in this movie. It was the prop gun thrown by LDC to RC. It was a pretty good little trick gun. It was a Navy arms 44-40 all nickel except for the cylinder that was brushed in the white stainless steel. I used it for about 4 years and about shot the barrel out. The 44 cal. ammo has a pleasant compression and blowback. It was pretty easy to handle an all the things RC is doing with it are possible.
I remember seeing this scene on tv when I was like 8. I’ve been looking for this movie for 10+ years and it finally got recommended to me by UA-cam. Never even knew Leo was in the movie and the amount of times I’ve gone through Leo’s filmography on wiki Jesus Christ
solid silver handle....that sound heavy.....like,uncomfortably heavy,but with a good belt and some suspenders you maybe can keep your pants up....maybe
Wow. They're all beautiful guns. Even that "piece of crap" fits Cort well; looks worn-down, has clean internals, shoots straight, does the job. Perfect.
Clean enough, I think. The barrel's really rusted at the end, and I am trying to figure if a barrel extension like that seemed feasible (though I think a conversion to .38 and being a 'Long' Colt would explain it). The cylinder that holds the bullets is rusted. Even the hammer is rusted up where Cort actually pulls it back a few times before one of his duels to loosen it up. Funny thing is that cheap piece of crap for $5 was regarded as a damned great deal for its capability. Shooting straight? That 1850-1860 Colt Navy conversion was arguably the best accurate revolver he could have gotten for $5...or a lot more money. Combine that with Cort's talent, he could have been the huckleberry to Herod's persimmon...just a little better.
He did say 5 dollars, that is suppose to come off as cheap to us now but wtf 5 dollars was a lotta money back then! If he had said a 1.50 mabye thats be cheap

That piece of shit is a Colt Navy .36-caliber cartridge conversion gun... it used to be a black powder front loader, now it's a .38 Colt brass cartridge revolver. It's a real marginal thing. Might be a reasonably good shot, might be a mis-matched piece of garbage. The Kid insists "it shoots straight" (which was a major issue with the cartridge conversions).
@@jasoncarswell7458 Is a Richard & Mason conversion.
@@jasoncarswell7458 My old man used to had that piece of shit. Actually when I was just a kiddo and hairs were barely started growing up around my balls I learned shoot cans with that crap.
Hard to believe Gene Hackman is 90! He has been missed since his retirement! Definitely on of the greats!
Yes he's been in so many good films, the french connection, Mississippi Burning, a bridge too far, no way out, the firm, Unforgiven....
the everyday man. has more range than the likes of nicholson, pacino, de niro
Gene Hackman is one of my favorites. If he is in a movie, it is probably worth checking out.
@@DesertRat332I definitely like the remington army 44 with the silver handle it's absolutely the most desirable gun forsure
What I liked about Gene was he didn't even start acting until his 30s, which is crazy considering most Hollywood types start out at a young age
I really like how he shows off the guns in this scene. The way they sound are displayed. Really shows how much care has been put into them for this scene
I love how at 1:56 Cort touches the gun to make it match with the other. That's something your usual preacher wouldn't do.
You see how fast his head turned when he heard the chamber spin. For an ex gunfighter that must have sounded like angels singing
or demons
He still loves the steel and is trying to deny his impulses. Great acting by Crowe.
I like what the counter boy says after realizing what this sleeze bag is doing, reassuring Crowe that he's not selling him something evil
That kid's acting is good. I wish he was given more movies..
Fuck me I want that silver gripped 1875
That is a very cool gun.
i will take the rem, that's a sweet gun, you hear that barrel spin.
Beauty of a gun
Ben noneofyourbeeswax the chamber is what he spun and it very bad for it
paul lytle it's a cylinder and it won't hurt the gun to spin it now if you have a double action gun and you slam the cylinder shut yeah thats bad for it.
Back when Russell Crowe didn't look like Santa Claus.
I was just thinking about that. Human beings look much better when they are NOT FAT. As we age, we all tend to get fatter and fatter. I'm going on a diet.
or Jesus
Dude he is frickin Russell Crowe if he wants to look like Santa he can look like Santa with millions of dollars
And back when Leo still looked like a young kid.
You mean like Marlon Brando?
Nice sales pitch. Lead with a collector's piece to gauge the customer's eye, swap to a customized piece with a history to see if the customer is appreciative of the work before bringing out a tricked out custom piece to see if they would bite for the most expensive gun in the shop. Toss them a gun with an "offer" to lock down a price to see what they are worth before going further. Even his offer of the "cheapest piece of crap" speaks volumes. His offer of 5 bucks for a gun that shoots straight means that he has a minimum integrity limit; he won't sell garbage in his store.
For anyone curious, that is a colt navy revolver which was converted from a cap and ball to a cartridge. It’s one of the predecessors to the Peacemaker, which was the gun he flipped around his hand.
The peacemaker is the name of the colt the kid was offered 120 bucks?
Thought it was a Single Action Army?
@@somethingserious3683The single action army or m1873 are the official names, and I don’t care if it’s solid silver it’s not worth $120 in 1881
@@logicplaguenope. Colt 1851 .36 Navy Revolver. Most likely a Richards-Mason conversion to be exact. Originally a cap-and-ball, converted to accept metallic cartridges. A .36 bore, modern, non-heeled bullets are 0.357 inches in diameter, usually converted to fire .38 Long Colt back then. There are modern reproductions made for .38 Special. .38 Long Colt is expensive but still available for purists. .38 Short Colt, .38 Long Colt, and .38 Special will all work in a .357 Magnum revolver. Cowboy Action, with the exception of Wild Bunch matches, aren't my usual thing but i do own three Single-Action revolvers: a Ruger Blackhawk in .357 Magnum with a 9mm cylinder, a Super Blackhawk in .44 Magnum, and my late paternal grandfather's third gen Colt Frontier model in .44-40. Bought it off my youngest male first cousin. My grandfather left it to my oldest uncle, the oldest son.
He gave it to my cousin when he moved out as it's tradition in my family that once one moves out on their own they get a decent amount of money and means to defend themselves.
This past Christmas i saw him for the first time in many years. I was 10 when he was born. He'll 38 this summer. In conversation, he mentioned his now fiancée found the Colt and she doesn't want guns in their house and was short for holiday shopping. He considered pawning thought of pawning it. I offered $1800 for it cash, it's worth $2200, $2300 easy. A few scratches and holster wear, cherry wood grips that our grandfather made himself but otherwise in excellent condition. Top purchasing points: He knew it would go to a good home with me, no need to pay back, and the most important, at least for me, it stays in the family. I'm a firm believer in family heirlooms should remain just that. Besides, i already have his Winchester 1894 in .44-40, might as well complete the set. I also have our grandmother's Colt 1908 .380 as well. She was an excellent shot with it.
Cort: "I'll pass on the Schofield 45. How the hell am i going to do my spinning gun tricks with no trigger guard? The whole movie is spinning gun tricks!"
and any longer barreled gun because a 4 5/8" inch barrel is what all trick gun handlers use
@@gunfighterzero i think he meant by the schofield had not trigger guard so cant spin it
Pass on the silver handles too.
False, the whole movie is not spinning gun tricks.
That one guy has his gun tied to his belt, it's a spinning belt trick.
@Brian Fortin In the hot western sun, probably more likely to reach for the pistol with metal grips and throw it 20 feet hissing an expletive. Also it might do fine for shooting once a day in this tournament, but I can't imagine the shock absorption would have been great either for actual prolonged use?
But I'm just a smooth-brain that's never held a gun.
Gene Hackman was such a cool badass in this movie. He's the main reason why I'll watch this movie any day. A hero is only as good as the villain.
What is the name of the movie I want to watch it
The Quick and The Dead.
Thank you
@@dominiquestewart433 Did you watch it?
1 small town hu 🤔 I wonder if ppl can see hu is the good & hu is the bad
I like how the "preacher" is being tempted through the glint in his eyes from off a revolver, or the spinning of a cylinder.
He is still Human....
The schofield 45 is a thing of beauty!
So many legendary actors in this scene
Well, three anyway!!
And one in the director's chair
In this movie
You can tell he’s a good shot by the way he twirls the gun like a baton
How does pistol twirling equate to pistol marksmanship? The trick shot artistry didn’t help ♠️
@@victorrain thats the joke dumbass
@@victorrain The capacity of some people to take everything they hear or read literally, never ceases to amaze me. You have to be an American who has never seen the need in a passport?
@@victorrain special person alert.
@@victorrain , that was sarcasm, but being comfortable with the gun is a huge part of shooting. In order to twirl a gun like that, you need to have practiced a lot. That means he’s very comfortable with a gun in his hand. Obviously, it’s not a guarantee of being a good shooter, but it’s a good indication.
Poor Cort is like an alcoholic who’s been sober for years being dragged into a bar and shown a ton of fine spirits.
And Herod is the guy egging him on to take a drink
This scene inspired me to start fun spinning. Going really well, and has actually help me break from bad habits and addictions focusing on it! Thanks Dad, Westerns rule!
That's really cool. Hope you keep improving and have fun doing it. :)
It's a little heartbreaking seeing the Kid absorb those verbal smacks from Herrod. Nicely done, Leo.
I usually ask for the cheapest gun when I go to a gun store. As you would expect that are not usually pleased, DiCaprios reaction is pretty accurate in this case.
Hi-Point?
exceptional audio on this clip, you can really hear every click of the revolver.
That's a lot of talent in one room!
Hackman, Dicaprio, and Crowe. All legends.
Dicaprio is an asshole not a legend
You have clearly never met him. Nevertheless, you are entitled to your opinion.
You are super cool, Alex7aj. and I agree with you. :)
Yep, three Oscar winners right there.
DiCaprio a legend?! Seriously?! That punk wouldn't make a decent pimple on Hackman's ass.
It appears to me that The Kid is using these expensive showpieces as 'sizzle'; a well used routine to whet the appetites of any customer that comes in. He gives his spiel, and while he never sells these fancy pieces, The Kid has, at the very least, convinced even the most casual visitor to buy *something*.
Herod knows this sales routine of old. And knows it's the best shot in order to tempt Cort back into the old ways.
So essentially, what we're seeing is Herod using the Kid to sell *his* product.
Finally someone talking sense.
Nah, you’re thinking way too hard about it
@@reddragon52894 Then you don't know salesmanship. This is exactly what car dealers do. They put the best in their showroom, knowing only the wealthiest in town will buy those, but it hooks in anybody looking for a car. That best actually makes what is on the lot look just as good because those are affordable.
@@reddragon52894 too hard for what? if you don't state the purpose then your statement is literally meaningless. You're spouting words for an excuse to experience emotions without understanding
I always wondered why he did that. This Actually makes sense. The sizzle also makes sense since court is trying incredibly hard not WANT to touch the guns.
Especially since Herod knows Court. The very second Court gets that revolver, he starts spinning it. And testing the action. It's at that very moment Herod smiles because he knew he got Court exactly where he wanted him.
Thanks for this. It adds another layer to this scene I never noticed before.
The prices are wrong for the time period, but the kid is spot on. As a gunsmith, every single passionate kid who starts in a gun shop sells guns this way, usually takes a couple months for them to settle down and realize that most people aren't nearly as passionate about guns as we are.
Dicaprio can do no wrong...faultless delivery one of the best actors of modern time...
Russ is always...well Russ !
Yeah. Leo's got that youthful swagger.
Hackman is just a perfect villain in every movie. A character you love to hate. Old and malicious
+Gunny Akdo He's not sick or old, and you're not half the man he is!
gargois1
i believe that but i meant it in another way, that it fits perfectly to an old man to play the villain
It was just a line from the movie Dude. Remember that's what he told the Kid when he told him to step down. I thought is was kinda funny. I didn't really care about what you meant.
+gargois1 hahah sad he didnt get the joke, but i found it funny as hell :D
Hackman is the only one I could've imagined pulling off a perfect LBJ.
I saw some kind of behind-the-scenes documentary on this movie on youtube. If I remember correctly, Gene Hackman was said to have spent the most time trying to perfect gun spinning. Russell Crowe obviously became amazingly good at it, as well. Leo did a good job, too.
Any of those wheelguns today would command quite the price tag, there is just something about revolvers that I love, which is why I own a S&W Model 327 R8, it's the perfect fusion of modern tech with that old school wheelgun attitude, plus it's hard to argue with 8 rounds of .357 Magnum with a rapid reload using "moon clips".
You can feel the disappointment in his voice when he says :
"Five bucks."
Didn't know Leo was such a good gun salesman.
Me trying to buy a gun in red dead redemption 2 before the economy fix.
🤣
Too accurate comment
Cort’s gun fighting abilities are a mirror image of those top tier revolvers.
This is what is called pure acting. I hope these days more movies like this

Revolver Ocelot: "You're pretty good."
I have not heard that name in 20 so odd years....great throw back
"Snake, it's not over yet!"
@@rodfrost2360 engraving give you no tactical advantage whatsoever

I was looking for a comment like this. Thank you for making it.
Leo: So you want the Colt, the Remington, or the Schofield?
Me: Yes
Between them all the schofield would have been the best option for anything other than a stand up 1v1 gunfight.
I'll take a Schofield.
The mexican colt!! It's my choice!
@@Arcadius2207 Same
Ill take the Rem
Anyone else catch the joke where he almost says 36 but corrects to 35? That 36th may have been the reason he parted with his weapon.
2:25 Perfect salesman. Everyone should be like him. World would be much better place to life.
All 3 fine actors but there's just something about Gene Hackman's voice when he talks just sounds so.....badass.
It's the tone of voice you'd expect from that one uncle who always takes you fishing but also did unspeakable things in vietnam and doesn't regret it.
Great actor.
This is an extremely underrated film.
dreamlandnightmare yah it was left at a cabin my parents bought. It was on VHS and it was the only movies I watched when I was there. This was like 15 years ago lol
I thought you were gonna make an Evil Dead joke
No it’s terrible
@@ethanwood9124 agreed, and the female lead is absolutely dreadful. I love Crowe, dicaprio, and Hackman, but this movie is not only cornball, the subplot is garbage.
You have to take it on its own terms, as a kind of parable. What it does, it does well, and the acting is....well, look at who's acting. Nobody calls it in.
One of my favourite gun scenes of all time!
Cort really conveys what an addict looks like. The guns are driving him crazy, like a lost body part.
Show him all the weapons boy.... so I can tell you to give him the cheapest one
well, you know he's screwing with the kid's head as much as anything
He wanted to tease Cort to bring out his old self, like showing a vegetarian stakes.
Don't eat meat anymore? Look at this 28 day dry aged ribeye medium rare with compound garlic butter, a smoked St Louis style ribs with a Carolina BBQ sauce, no what's the worst piece of meat you have in here? A 10 day old egg Mcmuffin with ham
Kruppt808 haha beautiful
*steaks
Can we appreciate the casting this movie had? Well done.
This movie was kind of a Perfect Storm for its day:
Sharon Stone
Russell Crowe
Leonardo DiCaprio
Gene Hackman
And directed by the Director of Spider-Man 2002.
Saw this one in the theater. It's got some hokey moments but it's so star studded and fun you forget all about it. Sam Raimi just makes entertaining stuff in general.
For $20 bucks he could have gotten that do-it-yourself job that Eli Wallach threw together in "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly".
Was waiting for somebody to reference that scene. Probably my favorite "gun shop" scene in cinema history.
For a dollar he could have gotten that falling-apart POS that Kevin Kline had in Silverado. It only had to work once, and it did.
How much?
20
Um um:|
50
Um um!!:@
100 thats all I have:'(
Tuco took that gun plus cash and a bottle of whiskey.
the Sententious Vaunter and Eli adlibbed the whole scene. He didn’t have a clue about guns in real life. But many have said he did a good job pretending he did.
This was my favorite scene in the movie.
The revolver he got was the most beautifull rusty colt open top like that, but the silver catleman at begining is also beautifull
Can’t help but to feel a strong connection in the force with the kid mentioning Jesse James like that as to foreshadow OUATIH
Fun Fact: Any gun chambered for the .45 Colt will also chamber the .45 S&W Schofield, but not vice-versa due to the Schofield's shorter case length.
Three legendary actor in one scene : one long born, one just born and one to be born.
Can the Lord belpstop watching this scene after all these years i just can't stop
Leo was a great actor from the earliest of ages.
3 Best Actor Academy award winners in one scene. Legendary
Three Oscar winners all in one scene. Just wow
You're right, but these three earned theirs imo.

@@jblvxk If you ended your sentence after "award", most people would have agreed with you. But now, you're just a pathetic racist.
This movie has a perfect adjective to describe itself: guilty pleasure
Underrated movie with an early all-star cast.
I got one of the guns used in this movie. It was the prop gun thrown by LDC to RC. It was a pretty good little trick gun. It was a Navy arms 44-40 all nickel except for the cylinder that was brushed in the white stainless steel. I used it for about 4 years and about shot the barrel out. The 44 cal. ammo has a pleasant compression and blowback. It was pretty easy to handle an all the things RC is doing with it are possible.
The sound design just *chef’s kiss*
Sharon Stone had to fight the film company to insist on casting DiCaprio, she ended up paying his salary herself just to get him on the film.
they don't make women like her anymore.
She recognized his skills
Wonder if he got in those leather pants. (:
@@moorshound3243 I love how you put it. :)
She's still yummy.
Schofield is absolutely gorgeous. My favorite of all time.
I remember seeing this scene on tv when I was like 8. I’ve been looking for this movie for 10+ years and it finally got recommended to me by UA-cam. Never even knew Leo was in the movie and the amount of times I’ve gone through Leo’s filmography on wiki Jesus Christ
solid silver handle....that sound heavy.....like,uncomfortably heavy,but with a good belt and some suspenders you maybe can keep your pants up....maybe
Great movie. Hackman was such a dark,cold villain.
Wow. They're all beautiful guns. Even that "piece of crap" fits Cort well; looks worn-down, has clean internals, shoots straight, does the job. Perfect.
+Xkavar Smith As the kid himself says, he wouldn't sell it if it didn't shoot straight
+Xkavar Smith Looks worn down, but very rugged and experienced like "It's seen some good days in the field"
Clean enough, I think. The barrel's really rusted at the end, and I am trying to figure if a barrel extension like that seemed feasible (though I think a conversion to .38 and being a 'Long' Colt would explain it). The cylinder that holds the bullets is rusted. Even the hammer is rusted up where Cort actually pulls it back a few times before one of his duels to loosen it up.
Funny thing is that cheap piece of crap for $5 was regarded as a damned great deal for its capability. Shooting straight? That 1850-1860 Colt Navy conversion was arguably the best accurate revolver he could have gotten for $5...or a lot more money. Combine that with Cort's talent, he could have been the huckleberry to Herod's persimmon...just a little better.
@@dthevideofan657289 1851 Navy Richard & Mason conversion.
He did say 5 dollars, that is suppose to come off as cheap to us now but wtf 5 dollars was a lotta money back then! If he had said a 1.50 mabye thats be cheap
