One of the best shoot outs of all time; the first time I saw this, the shoot out seemed to last much longer than it did. The slow motion portions along with the sound effects created that visceral sense of extended time.
Wtf are you talking about never seen so many storm troopers in a shoot out... Missed possibly hundreds of shots at almost point blank range in scenes... Very meh western
@@phccaptainamerica those old revolvers weren't very accurate compared to how guns are made now. Some of them are the original cap and ball revolvers too. And most of the men shooting wouldn't of had any proper training. I mean being able to load and shoot a weapon accurately is all well and good, but doing it at a moving target while it shoots back is something else entirely.
That's because we shot them. No. Not really but I think High Plains Drifter is one of the best psychological studies and studies of a society under threat as well as western (hmm kind of) ever made
This scene used to run through my mind because it was one of the best Cowboys scenes ever visually and sound effects wise. It's amazing this movie doesn't get the props that it deserves because of the fact that you have brothers playing in the movie which is basically a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
Since I was a little kid like 40 years ago, I always loved that weird slo-mo sound effect they used right before the bullets hit them. Such an interesting stylistic choice, which I've never seen any other director use, and I like it.
@4redniwediS They rehearsed the scene for 3 weeks without the glass. The horses would only go thru the glass once, so they needed new horses for the second window. I believe those are the only two shots done.
Growing up in Missouri, I always thought of the James-Youngers as being the good guys in this scene. But now, I realize it was the good citizens of Northfield.
Robert Fitzgerald The irony is that most residents of Clay County are probably big 2nd Amendment people who believe that private citizens should be allowed to arm themselves in order to defend against criminals. That’s EXACTLY what the citizens of Northfield did.
@@randallshulsen69 Didn't watch the whole movie just this scene as i am from Northfield. Was happy to see it filmed in a location that at least somewhat resembled Minnesota. Half of the time when a film or tv show brings up this attempted bank robbery they make it look like Tombstone AZ. If you want to see what the real area looks like you can look up 'Defeat of Jesse James Days' on youtube, they do a reenactment yearly.
An absolutely great film.. Historically sound, and fine performances by all. I agree.. This was highly underrated.. But the viewing audience has more than made up for that with our high ratings given to this movie, already a Classic western!
The most underrated western of all time great intense shoot outs super scene of the they breaking through the window with the horses and one getting ran over by another horse is one of the greatest set pieces in movie history great acting by the 4 set of real Brothers actors one of my all time favorite western
Such slick blending of direction and sound design. For as chaotic and confusing as this scene should be we never lose the logic of action, or arent sure whats happening.. Time becomes so distorted it may as well be endless, forces one to sit with the repurcussive consequences of senseless violence, like an inescapable nightmare.
@@-elchoya9832 I never liked the comparisons between Peckinpah and Walter Hill, Because Peckinpah was a drunk and a weirdo and very overrated with his only good film being THE WILD BUNCH, where as Walter Hill has directed and produced a whole string of classic hit movies.
@@arnoldjack7956 Peck was not overrated- surely he was legendary in his own right. Depicted cinema violence like no other; Walter Hill would tell you the same!
@@arnoldjack7956 I’m an interview, Walter Hill said Peckinpah called him after he watched his movie and told Hill people were comparing his movie to the Wild Bunch because of the edits and slow mo shootouts. Peckinpah asked him about it and said. “You weren’t trying to emulate what I had already done in my movie. I know you weren’t.” Hill responded: “No, Mr. Peckinpah.” Peckinpah really smug ended the conversation with: “I know that’s what you weren’t trying to do, and you know that’s what you weren’t trying to do. I know you goddamn know better!”
Along with excellent cinematography, acting, and direction, and amazing stuntwork, this film has two of the most-underrated actors of the past 50 years: Pamela Reed (Belle Starr) and Randy Quaid (Clell Miller).
Good movie . All the. Brothers playing playing the parts. Not so historically accurate but a good good movie. Hits the high spots of the James/Younger Gang
Cole took on 11 bullet wounds from the Northfield Raid, they went with him to his grave. He never once implied that Frank or Jesse were involved. This is where Loyalty and Men of Honor kept their word. They stuck together as family and looked out for each other.
This has to be the greatest shootout scene ever done in a Western . The scene of one of them being shot off of his horse, then being dragged in slow mo because his foot was caught in the stirrup has never been done since . Those stunt men made that scene awesome
The beginning of Sam Peckinpah's “The Wild Bunch” (1969) and the end of this movie by Walter Hill are.... whether in homage or parody, as an avid western fan, it's my favorite scene.....hats off to both directors and the cast.
3:03,straight out of JESSE JAMES 1939 and a small scene from THEW WILD BUNCH 1969,where the carradines dad john was in the film as bob ford in the northfield raid but the real bob ford wasnt in the raid but joined the gang till years later.
And Northfield, Minnesota to this day still celebrates the townspeople fighting back and stopping the attempted bank robbery. They call it Jesse James days.
great movie but it again shows the influence Sam Peckinpah had on the modern action film. ( Walter Hill worked with him) Walter Hill is also criminally underrated.
watch this scene while listening to the song "Green grass and high tides" by the Outlaws from 5:16 thru the rest of the song and it goes with it perfectly
This director is SO overdue a decent book and a documentary, from the mid 70s to the mid 80s he was toe to toe with Carpenter as America`s greatest genre filmmaker.
great intense scene. It also works because of the great sound design. The ricochetsound in reverse, seconds befor the actual bodyhit works great. Just as the slow motion horse sounds.
I LOVE this scene, have the movie on spec ed. DVD. Great film, just a bit dry on character development. But the Quades and the Carradines were genuinely tough guys unlike a lot of Hollywood types.
Sound effects are awesome. A friend told me they never reloaded in this scene. Who the Hell cares. It's a movie and not documentary. One of my favorite movies of all time..well that and Josey Wales
00:45 I always remember that shot through the cheek, although in reality it would have blown most of his jaw off (or at least some teeth). A great movie, highly under-rated.
Cole Younger really did get shot in the right cheek by a rifle, which paralysed his right eye. Also shot with a .45 pistol through the body and thigh at Northfield, in fact he received eleven different wounds in the fight. There is a picture of him on the internet where you can see the hole in his cheek and his closed right eye, ask Google.
I remember this movie just being on one night when I was young. I didn't watch tv much and I remember it being a long movie. Of all the scenes I remember this single moment the most. Seeing a man shot in the face, through his cheek wasn't something I thought I'd ever see on television. I was shocked by how cut and dry this kind of film was about it. It wasn't glorifying the violence but it wasn't hiding a thing either. It wasn't Reservoir Dogs but it wasn't Bonanza either. It was a different kind o western
Not really. Modern ammo certainly would have messed him up but not necessarily the lead used in those days. If the bullet didn't encounter bone and flatten out it could have passed through.
Certainly the most exciting and intriguing films made about the notorious James Gang. I really appreciated the effort made in the last climactic Sense, the finally going fight in streets of Northfield..I also liked that they put forth to assemble the several groups of actual blood brothers, such as the Carradines, the Quaid brothers and the Guest brothers,splendid idea.
I love this film which I have on DVD but the horse tumble at 2:55 has been edited out on the DVD. My copy is region 2 PAL does it only appear on the American region 1 copy? And is it left in on the Blu Ray version? Anybody know?
I saw this movie with my parents ✝️ & family,…I dedicate this movie to MaLizzy ✝️, PoPoChuy ✝️, Rawhide ✝️ & Dukie✝️ GOD Bless You’All,…In the name of The Father, The Son & The HolyGhost Amen 🙏 Jesse James
So many neat things about this film. All brothers (youngers, James, Millers, Fords) brothers in real life and the all carried unique weapons. Most cowboy movies gives everyone a Col SAA but not this film.
Fact: Almost every man in Northfield had served in combat during the Civil War. They were not intimidated by the James/Younger gang one bit and they proved it by shooting them to ribbons.
you see loads of cuts. i don't think the director wants to focus on them reloading. i mean each one. but it's cutting through various characters all the time. it's cutting ll the time. they don't have unlimited bullets in the gun it's not that kind of movie
Peckinpah aside, the reality of the Northfield raid was that of criminals getting cocky and stupid. They thought they could just ride out of a part of the country they knew, and where a lot of people were sympathetic to them, onto foreign turf and rob a bank in a town full of Civil War veterans. And they got chopped up.
I googled this, had the dvd for years, it is pretty special to get 4 family's of brothers together to act out real set of 4 family brothers of civil war veterans, they were BAD ASSES, also they were part Quantrils raiders Jesse and Frank were anyway
I would recommend for anyone watching this video to watch recordings of the bank raid reenactments in Northfield Minnesota, visit the amazing historical society they have or to visit on the anniversary weekend for the Defeat of Jesse James Days to learn the real truth of what happened. RIP Joseph Lee Heywood, the First National Bank of Northfield's clerk who was killed when he refused to comply with the outlaws, and Nicholas Gustavson, an innocent Swedish resident who was shot right outside the bank and died in his sleep three days later.
I know this comment is 5 years old bit i just wanted to add that Mr Gustavson didn't speak English and didn't understand what the bank robbers were yelling at him.
This scene is timeless. Horses are beautiful the coreography is awsome. Remember re acting this as a child.
One of the best shoot outs of all time; the first time I saw this, the shoot out seemed to last much longer than it did. The slow motion portions along with the sound effects created that visceral sense of extended time.
The sounds of the bullet approaching and then hit and blood splatter? Awesome effects
You have to admit...the fact that there's four families' worth of actors playing these lead roles is a once in a lifetime endeavor.
Dean D aka TheLaughingMann actually there are four! The Carrandines, the Quaids, The Guests, and the Keachs.
This is a western beyond westerns. I don't even like westerns. And this DVD has been in my DVD player several times already.

Same here! The shot to the shoulder I think about at least once weekly.
absolutely timeless ... as is the entire movie !!!
Epic!
@@APG-fu6gk perfect summation !!!
The Long Riders , High plains drifter, Josey Wales, and The Wild Bunch, are my favorite westerns of all time.
They don't make em like that anymore!
They make nothing like back in the day anymore 😪
Thankfully, Clint Eastwood still has Cry Macho on the table, and we have Taylor Sheridan and James Mangold.
That's because we shot them. No. Not really but I think High Plains Drifter is one of the best psychological studies and studies of a society under threat as well as western (hmm kind of) ever made
Absolutely. Would add the Great Northfied Minnesota Raid and Pale Rider to that list
Don't forget about Silverado, dances with wolves, Hang em high, open range, Josey Wales, high noon, big country, Shane, Quigley,...

Still get chills when I hear the horses whine
Since I was a little kid like 40 years ago, I always loved that weird slo-mo sound effect they used right before the bullets hit them. Such an interesting stylistic choice, which I've never seen any other director use, and I like it.
3:23 slo-mo scenes, ..Looks like Stanley Kubrick copied this in full metal jacket sniper scenes
The shot of the guy coming off his horse while the breaking through the window and getting ran over by another horse is insane.
It looked like two of the riders took a fall during the stunt, most likely unplanned and left in the scene!
Very scary moment!
Ya that was intense !
@4redniwediS They rehearsed the scene for 3 weeks without the glass. The horses would only go thru the glass once, so they needed new horses for the second window. I believe those are the only two shots done.
One of the greatest movies I’ve seen ... Cole’s line ... “where the hell is Missouri?” is one I’ve never forgotten, as I’m from Missouri
"This Mr. Wales is a cold-blooded killer. He's from Missouri, where they're all known to be killers of innocent men, women and children."

Yep It came out in 1980.Saw it when I was 9.
The ringing of the bullet in slow mo before it hits its target is amazing
Sam Peckinpah.

Let me tell you the realistic western western next to this cowboy western was Kevin cosner's open range...I really enjoyed that thriller.
The best scene in Western film history. Truly epic.
ridiculously underrated film.
I think it's rated very highly.
I have it on dvd it's great.
I'm not even a fan of westerns. But this film is a 5 star masterpiece that I've watched several times since it arrived.
You know why ? Because its dark a gritty , the way westerns should really be

When law abiding citizens are armed.🙂
guns that never run out of bullets
