Good movie, incredible line. Really, I think, one of the best single lines of all time. The look on Hemlock's face is like, damn, did he just say that? What a beast.
First saw this movie decades ago. You are right, that is one of the best lines I have ever heard. More importantly, over the years, has had allot of meaning in life.
Michael Grimm, who played Meyer, is a relatively unknown Actor, even in the German-speaking area. Most of his two-dozen Acting-Credits are on TV, _Eiger Sanction_ being by far his best known role. And he has this on his resume: A Line that renders a Clint Eastwood-Character speechless. Nice.
ecco un esempio di ricostruzione folle e da folli. l'eiger rappresenta l'eco ci sta solo un osservatore astronomico per esperti. o riparti da Zer matt, oppure c'e' St. Moritz, San Maurizio, noto ambiente luxury e amatissimo dal verde. a St.Moritz Hitchkoch giro' il suo film the birds, tra l'altro.
Eastwood did all his own climbing. But… this is the best movie quote of all time. I climbed for 10 years or so. If you wanted to sum up the mentality of every climber from the 70’s and early 80’s, this scene pretty well covers it.
that always bugged me, how they don't make it and clint's character kinda just treated it like another day at the office, even though it was a team thrown together..I'd like to think they grew close, that's just what the film was missing I think, clint seemed to really commit to the climbing though, he actually climbed that totem pole, what actor does that?! a climber even died on the eiger during the filming there..
Spend enough time around alpinists from that generation and you'll realize they all kinda had that sort of attitude with death. Didn't really give themselves time to grieve. Hell, even certain corners of the rock climbing community have a bit of detached relationship with death
@@breezyillo2101 Reminds me the book called "addicted to danger". I forget the climbers name, famous very accomplished guy, Wickwire I think, encountered so many deaths during his time climbing..but he just kept going back. I can't imagine attending so many funerals especially when you know people there will be putting some blame on you, especially when you're the older climber. Fantastic book. Really eye-opening how fast so much life can vanish in the mountains. And most of the climbers in the early days were some really special people. I mean there's people who take care of themselves to live long lives, but these people wanted to live life to the fullest. One second you're there and the next second the harness lets you fall or fall down a crevasse without a sound. You just blink out of existence and your partner has to live with that. I guess survivors guilt is part of that and makes you challenge death. Thanks for the reply.
Clint Eastwood's character is a professional hitman who takes on murder contracts from an albino SS officer who runs the CIA's black ops department. He takes these jobs (his day job is an art professor at a University) in order to buy priceless works of art that he stashes away in his basement so no one can see them because he believes the current generation lacks the proper appreciation for art. But you think he's gonna bawl his eyes out over some dudes he just met last week (and remember, he was only doing the climb because one of them was supposed to be a guy he was assigned to kill!).
Not really. He was there to sanction to give the appearance that the US was striking back by sanctioning an agent. This is revealed to Clint at the end.
Best movie line ever. A genuine class comment on life, adversity, and working together.
My favorite line. I still remember it 44 years after I first saw the film.

That line has echoes of another book by Trevennian, Shibumi.
After reading the book, i think it’s the best movie of Clint Eastwood as a director ! This movie is what James Bond movies should ever have been.
First saw this movie decades ago. You are right, that is one of the best lines I have ever heard. More importantly, over the years, has had allot of meaning in life.
Agreed. In all walks of life it's not what you do, its the way that you do it.
Gr8 point...is was a gr8 line. It also is a great attitude and mindset when the chips are down....!
This line certainly is right up there with the "Unforgiven" line: "We all have it comin, kid."
Mo cushle, you’ve been a star since my parents were kids; now that’s real stardom…you’re a genius of a director, so don’t even think about retirement…
It takes a lot to out-One-Liner Clint Eastwood, but this guy did it.
Great quote! Great scene!
Chris Kalous uses it in his intro to his podcast-the Enormocast.
I finally watched the movie. Had to repeat the "continue with style" line like 20 times in my head lol

Nice.
I was 9 when this movie was released on Star Channel in the mid 70s. Very good film. Always remembered this line.
Io le mie guerre le vinco meglio da sola. Con tanto di filmati, abbiamo detto sterminazione totale di tutta litalia e di tutti i ebrei nel mondo.
Eastwood: “We’ll make it”. French Climber: “I don’t think so. But we will continue with style”.
Austrian climber. :) Damn great line, yep.
Austrian climber!!!
Oi!!!!!!!! (cue enormocast intro music)
The scene after this one is chilling. I still find it disturbing to this day.
Equally chilling is the soundtrack when they're in trouble, by none other than John Williams himself, who'd have thought?
When they all fall? That scene scared the daylights out of me in the trailer back in the day.

My thoughts re: Coronavirus.
I really liked the movie and love the line, but did you notice the reflection of the camera man in the orange helmet!
Ha, I never noticed before!
@@alpacainstitute871 today they would have CGIed it away.
@@marka7831 Today they would have been standing inside a studio next to a green screen. They wouldn't have been anywhere near a mountain! 😆

We are going to die but at least lets good doing it. LOL
clint is the GOAT
Quite a shock, wasn't it, when he realizes the guy in the "window" is the guy he is supposed to sanction? Great surprise ending!
lol
Not really. He was there to sanction to give the appearance that the US was striking back by sanctioning an agent. This is revealed to Clint at the end.
