"Pale Rider" is a nod to the four horsemen of the apocalypse in the book of Revelations, and the rider of the Pale Horse was called Death. Clint is The Pale Rider... Death.
The big guy was Richard Kiel. He is best known for being a villain in several James Bond films. He's done a lot character acting on TV, and is easily recognized as the main alien on the Twilight Zone episode, To Serve Man
In the old wild west, many towns were nothing more than a tent, dugouts, and some buildings. From the very beginning of American history, church buildings functioned also as schools and government meeting areas. This Pale Rider, is what was called a Circuit Preacher (aka, Saddlebag Preacher) and would ride from one small community to the next, conducting religious services, so that people would have some service once or twice a month. It was common to find a fifth of whiskey in their coat pocket and guns for protection.
You were correct, Dawn. "Pale Rider" was Clint's homage to the classic western film, "Shane." Except Preacher was also a kind of supernatural conjuring or avenging spirit like in "High Plains Drifter." A preacher can be similar to a reverend or minister of a church.
the big man Richard Kiel was well known as the villain Jaws in James Bond when he was younger, and for appearances like this and in Happy Gilmore when he was older. he passed away in 2014, RIP.
Thanks so much for Pale Rider. Along with Josey Wales, these are my two favorite Clint Eastwood westerns. The actor who played Stockburn was John Russell, who had a TV western in the 1950’s called Lawman. He was in Josey Wales also. You should watch some of the Dirty Harry movies where Clint plays a policeman in San Francisco. They are kind of modern day urban westerns. I’m sure you will find them to be best movies ever!
John Russell also played Bloody Bill Anderson in The Outlaw Josey Wales. I never realized that until several months ago despite having watched Pale Rider and Josey Wales 100s of times. Also, Lawman is on at 5:30AM every morning on the H&I (Heroes and Icons) channel, if you still use an old fashioned TV Antenna in one of your other SmartTV Inputs. .
BOTH of these MUST SEE Classics star the legendary & iconic comedic genius Don Knotts,, "The Incredible Mr. Limpet" (1964) & "The Ghost And Mr. Chicken" (1966)
@@Fatherofheroesandheroines I am quite aware of that,, BUT,, that by no means limits suggestions to ONLY Clint Eastwood movies,, Various classic movies are suggested by others quite often.
@@harryhowl2141 That's a great one as well,, Also "How To Frame A Figg",, "The Reluctant Astronaut",, "The Love God?",, "The Apple Dumpling Gang",, Etc.,, I just didn't want to overwhelm her with all of his movies.
SPOILER FOR MR. LIMPET - my dad made me watch that movie when I was 8 years old and I cried and cried because he decided to stay a fish lol. I saw a biography documentary on Don Knotts and he was a ladies man and women really liked him.
4 more Eastwood westerns left: Hang 'Em High Paint Your Wagon Two Mules for Sister Sara Joe Kidd then Clint as a more modern cowboy: Coogan's Bluff Every Which Way But Loose Any Which Way You Can Bronco Billy Honkytonk Man plus the tv show Rawhide. I'd watch you watch all 217 episodes of that. Just watch and listen to the opening theme song and you'll be hooked.
I love Clint’s gun in this movie, and how it’s used. It’s an 1858 Remington, and the cylinders are easily removable. Clint’s character keeps spare cylinders loaded, for a quick reload.
THANK you, Dawn. Ya made one of my wishes for yer channel come true. I really hope you do the 'companion' flick that came out the same year, Silverado. Not so much the lone-gunfighter trope, more of the magnificent seven route, plus a bit of light hearted comedy. PLEASE, I know you'll love it.
If you say so. I don't think he was a ghost or an angel, just someone out for vengeance. But, at least an avenging angel could use a gun. But a ghost? No, not so much.
If avenging angel, two very different ones. The one in HPD is a sadist, and more like a demon. This one is highly benevolent and keeps giving the bad guys chance after chance to back off before going all in.
Drifter was written as the sheriffs brother but Clint made it more ambivalent. Preacher IS the ghost of a gunned down preacher , Clint has said so in a few interviews
Two great Clint movies: “Kelly’s Heroes,” which is a WW II movie similar in tone as “The Dirty Dozen,” and “Heartbreak Ridge,” which is set in the 80’s with an older and grouchier Clint. Both are excellent.
"And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts And I looked, and behold a pale horse And his name that sat on him was death, and hell followed with him" Also from a johnny cash song The Man Comes Around
'Club' is Richard Kiel. He was a great presence on screen and one of the nicest people to work with who was loved by many, and adored by his family. There's a couple of biographies about his life. Well worth watching.
Add to your list Support Your Local Sheriff and since you're always ready for a western and a comedy you get both. Best Movie Ever I was going to do a little work on the roof because it's going to rain and snow for a week, but this showed up and since it is one of my all time favorites, I sat back down to enjoy you enjoying this movie. Thanks.
I'd suggest Jerimiah Johnson and Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid - neither are the typical Westerns, though any time is good for a Clint Eastwood Western.
I remember my dad renting this when it first came out on video. I would have been about 8 years old. Absolutely loved it. Such an absolutely amazing film.
Eastwood is a ghost in this movie as well; he was one of Stockburn's marshals from years earlier, the seventh Marshal whom the other six turned on, hence the six bullet-holes. When he kills Stockburn, the pattern of bullets is identical to the ones on his own back.
You can, but 6 ahots in the back from Colt Peacemakers is .. pretty damn lethal. The odds of surviving that are about as close to zero as it is possible to be. And the whole point of the movie is the question of The Preacher's possible supernatural (or divine) intervention. Obviously the question is not clearly answered in the film, that's for the viewer to decide for themselves@@dallesamllhals9161
I knew he had been killed by Stockburn but I've never picked up on the idea that he was actually one of his marshals who had been turned on. I always thought his character had just been another guy killed by the marshals. What part of the movie hints at that fact that he had been a marshal?
In High Plains drifter, Clint Eastwood lets the people of the town think he is the ghost of the Marshall, who was killed. However, he is actually the brother of the Marshall, who was killed and is there to get revenge on the town.
🎶 track? It’s *Muddy Milk Crates* by *Dusty Decks* - and yes we are THRILLED to be your trusted provider. ua-cam.com/video/1_QnQALcZWo/v-deo.html // Epidemic Sound
This movie is unique in that there isn't a scene of Eastwood getting brutally hurt in some way but the 44 calibur bullet holes in his back alludes to it having happened in the past. And with that many and his mysterious nature are the main reason many consider this to be his second ghost story western.
One of the greatest westerns ever. Up for best picture Oscar and several other categories. The Big Country. Gregory Peck, Jean Simmons, Charlton Heston, and a best supporting actor win for Burl Ives. Lot of action but also STELLAR ACTING! DAWN MARIE, you'll love it. Best Movie EVER!
Lol! Your reaction when the preacher hit the tall fellow between the legs with the sledgehammer was so funny!! That reaction should be saved for future reference should anyone experience pain of that magnitude again. Lol. You're the best Dawn!! Love your videos and look forward to them so much.
You need to see Clint in PAINT YOUR WAGON. It's a western musical starring Clint and Lee Marvin (the man who played Liberty Valance) as gold prospectors. And you'll get to hear both of them sing! You'll like this part, too. It also stars Jean Seberg who gets to be married to both of them, at the same time (Mormon style).
John Russell played the part of "Stockburn." He was in several Western TV shows and movies in the late 50s thru the 60s. He starred in the TV show "Lawman."
11:39 - "How do you split a gold nugget?" Most likely is that the shopkeeper would buy the nugget from him, minus what he owes. 15:11 - "How old are you?" - Like her character, Sydney Penny was actually 14. 18:36 - "Oh a horse, I though she said a minner(?)." - She said "mare", as in a female horse.
Next Western? _Stagecoach_ (1939), directed by John Ford and starring John Wayne. _Stagecoach_ was the first movie that John Ford filmed in Monument Valley, Utah, a location he would come back to for many of his Westerns. It was also Ford's first collaboration with Wayne, and Wayne's breakthrough role. Nominated for seven Oscars it won two: Best Supporting Actor - Thomas Mitchell; and Best Music, Scoring. In 1995 the film was selected by the United States Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
Good job spotting the parallels between Pale Rider and Shane, and Pale Rider and High Plains Drifter. FYI, the actor who plays Stockbridge was star of the TV show Lawman.
The actor playing Marshal Stockburn was a TV cowboy first, before making films, just like Clint. He was also the older brother & ranch owner in John Wayne's Rio Bravo (1959).
Dawn, if no one else mentioned it or you already figured it out, the big guy is played by Richard Kiel. He is famous for being the hemchman Jaws in 2 Roger Moore James Bond films, The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker.
"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him." ALWAYS sends chills down my spine, and I am not even religious. And by the way, the girl, Sydney Penny who plays Megan Wheeler is 13 years old at the time she filmed this. Middle school age, BUT her innocence and sincerity would tempt many!
That's at least movies where Clint's character is lusted after by underage girls: The Beguiled, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Pale Rider. In all 3 cases marrying girls that young by much older men was fairly normal in the 19th century..
This movie was an homage to classic westerns like Shane from 1953 which I highly recommend you put on your list. Also John Wayne's last movie The Shootist please.
Paint Your Wagon is a must see Clint Eastwood movie if only to see Lee Marvin sing Wand'rin Star which was a number 1 song in your hometown in 1970...always a fun reaction!
Thanks for going off the map to find Pale Rider. Not a lot of reactions to this one. Picking off the deputies one by one is top tier film making right there.
The large guy was played by the late actor Richard Kiel. Kiel was famous for playing the James Bond villain "Jaws" and his role as Happy Gilmore's boss with the nail sticking out of his head. Kiel was a very large man standing at about 7'2" and well over 300 pounds. My wife went to school with his daughter and he use to go into the shop owned by my in-laws. My father in large is 6'8" seemed small compared to Richard Kiel. I shook hands with him once and his hand was massive! It was like a bears paw and totally covered my hand and I am 6'2", and 250 at that time. Really nice guy who looked like a fearsome giant but was the complete opposite. I am a huge Clint Eastwood fan. I use to go eat at his restaurant in Carmel California. My wife and I got engaged while having dinner there on one trip. I secretly had the fantasy that the staff would see this and call Mr Eastwood, he lived in town< and he would come to congratulate us. It was an extreme long shot I know but I could not pass up the chance. I think my top three Eastwood westerns would be Josey Wales, Pale Rider, and Unforgiven.
Clint has sooo many great, classic movies. The following ones are up there with his best! -Kelly's Heroes -Hang 'Em High -The Gauntlet -The Dead Pool -The Rookie (with Charlie Sheen) -White Hunter, Black Heart and MANY more! Basically a hit everytime. He has soooo many movies!
Hang Em High seems to be one of his least watched westerns as people don't mention it so much. Everyone mentions Pale Rider, Unforgiven, Josey Wales and the Dollar Westerns, even High Plains Drifter gets mentioned more. I actually have Hang Em High in my Top 5 Clint Westerns, I love the opening sequence, the score, the revenge element, the moral questions posed by the different standpoints on justice between the Judge and Eastwood's Character, the romantic element with Inger Stevens & the ending.
It is essentially a remake of High Plains Drifter (but not everyone has a guilty secret), with a spirit risen to avenge an injustice. Notice that the Preacher only seems to have supernatural powers (disappearing and reappearing) with the enforcers and the boss's minions and has to be helped out otherwise, notably at the end when he has avenged himself but the mine owner is about to shoot him.
"Kelly's Heroes".. WW2 action comedy "The Bridges Of Madison County". A modern love story. "Million Dollar Baby". Clint teaches a female boxer to win. "Paint Your Wagon". Clint Eastwood in a western musical.
Try "Stagecoach" with John Wayne, , "Once Upon a Time in the West" with Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda, "Fort Apache" with Henry Fonda and John Wayne, "The Far Country" with Jimmy Stewart, "Two Mules for Sister Sara" with Clint Eastwood, "The Gunfighter" with Gregory Peck - there aqre so many good westerns, you could do a whole channel of just westerns.
I think that the Preacher (Clint) was in fact a preacher while he was still alive, before he got shot in the back, and now he has a score to settle. He might have had a side-hustle or previous career involving gunfights before that.
If you want to watch a really fun movie that stars a very young Clint Eastwood and the brilliant Lee Marvin, and has Clint actually singing early in the film before you've settled into your chair, check out the classic musical "Paint Your Wagon". The critics hated it, but it is truly a wonderful film, with outstanding performances from the entire cast. I think you will absolutely love it!
That was an early draft of the script. There was also an early draft of the script that included an epilogue scene where we see the spirit of the Marshall leaving Eastwood’s body. Clint Eastwood also said in another interview he preferred the ambiguous supernatural ending. So there you go…
The big guy is Richard Kiel. He had an ongoing role as the villain hit man known as Jaws during the James Bond films when Roger Moore was Bond. He also was in the cast of the original The Longest Yard movie starring Burt Reynolds.
A "Preacher" is often an "ordained minister" (recognized priest) with NO formal "congregation" (Church) that often goes around on their own looking for a "flock" (followers) in an area to official begin (build) a church of their own. So, while officially instructed and recognized as an "religious authority figure" , they are also seen more of a mixture between a "loner" looking for a flock and as a wildcard in regard to official denominations, as they often had "personal views" that weren't entirely in line with what was written in the bible.
Pretty much a mash-up of SHANE & HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER. RE: SFX - you pretty much described what a foley artist does (create new sounds for the film via new sources like breaking vegetables and stepping on wood for footfalls). Nice job Dawn :D PS: He said mare to her meaning a horse.
Love your reactions and another western I recommend is TOMBSTONE, has an all star Cast with Kurt Russell and a brilliant performance from Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday.
"Two Mules for Sister Sara" is a Clint Eastwood western you would like
Yeah, this is a great one!
Yes , Dawn would like this one too
Totally agree. Dawn, if you read this comment you really need to add this to your list.
You are quite right.
Dawn, are you really as deranged as you act? You seem to be just slightly dim in your mind set.
"Pale Rider" is a nod to the four horsemen of the apocalypse in the book of Revelations, and the rider of the Pale Horse was called Death. Clint is The Pale Rider... Death.

Wow you're so brave. @rednecklife1367

Kellys Heroes is the movie that Dawn needs to see.

John Wayne in Rio Bravo,! Think it's my favorite., But there are so many, She wore a Yellow Ribbon is another classic.

The girl said “MARE” which is female horse usually over the age of 3. A “FILLY” is a female horse 3 or younger.

The large guy was played by the late actor Richard Kiel. Kiel was famous for playing the James Bond villain "Jaws" and his role as Happy Gilmore's boss with the nail sticking out of his head. Kiel was a very large man standing at about 7'2" and well over 300 pounds. My wife went to school with his daughter and he use to go into the shop owned by my in-laws. My father in large is 6'8" seemed small compared to Richard Kiel. I shook hands with him once and his hand was massive! It was like a bears paw and totally covered my hand and I am 6'2", and 250 at that time. Really nice guy who looked like a fearsome giant but was the complete opposite. I am a huge Clint Eastwood fan. I use to go eat at his restaurant in Carmel California. My wife and I got engaged while having dinner there on one trip. I secretly had the fantasy that the staff would see this and call Mr Eastwood, he lived in town< and he would come to congratulate us. It was an extreme long shot I know but I could not pass up the chance. I think my top three Eastwood westerns would be Josey Wales, Pale Rider, and Unforgiven.
That big guy played the villain enforcer Jaws in a James Bond movie.
24:25 That's Richard Kiel, he's most famous for playing Jaws in the James Bond movies The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker.
Clint has sooo many great, classic movies. The following ones are up there with his best!
-Kelly's Heroes
-Hang 'Em High
-The Gauntlet
-The Dead Pool
-The Rookie (with Charlie Sheen)
-White Hunter, Black Heart
and MANY more! Basically a hit everytime.
He has soooo many movies!
Hang Em High seems to be one of his least watched westerns as people don't mention it so much. Everyone mentions Pale Rider, Unforgiven, Josey Wales and the Dollar Westerns, even High Plains Drifter gets mentioned more. I actually have Hang Em High in my Top 5 Clint Westerns, I love the opening sequence, the score, the revenge element, the moral questions posed by the different standpoints on justice between the Judge and Eastwood's Character, the romantic element with Inger Stevens & the ending.
Love what you bring to the table and your reactions are like 🍒s on top keep up the outstanding work darlin ❤
Dawn Marie. A definite subscription for me. You would LOVE "The Mask of Zoro" !!
"Bronco Billy" is a lighthearted classic Clint Eastwood Western-style film worth watching.
'Two Mules For Sister Sarah' 'Hang 'Em High' 'Joe Kidd' and 'Paint Your Wagon'
She yelled "I LOVE YOU!" causing an avalanche that burried Preacher until the spring thaw.
It is essentially a remake of High Plains Drifter (but not everyone has a guilty secret), with a spirit risen to avenge an injustice. Notice that the Preacher only seems to have supernatural powers (disappearing and reappearing) with the enforcers and the boss's minions and has to be helped out otherwise, notably at the end when he has avenged himself but the mine owner is about to shoot him.
If you're so hot for Clint and cowboys you could watch some of the old TV show Rawhide. That's where he got his start. I'm sure it's on DVD.
The big guy is Richard Kiel, well-known as "Jaws" in some James Bond movies.
"Kelly's Heroes".. WW2 action comedy
"The Bridges Of Madison County". A modern love story.
"Million Dollar Baby". Clint teaches a female boxer to win.
"Paint Your Wagon". Clint Eastwood in a western musical.
Try "Stagecoach" with John Wayne, , "Once Upon a Time in the West" with Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda, "Fort Apache" with Henry Fonda and John Wayne, "The Far Country" with Jimmy Stewart, "Two Mules for Sister Sara" with Clint Eastwood, "The Gunfighter" with Gregory Peck - there aqre so many good westerns, you could do a whole channel of just westerns.
There's a couple of actors from 'The Thing' in this too; Richard Dysart (LaHood) and Charles Hallahan (McGill).
I think that the Preacher (Clint) was in fact a preacher while he was still alive, before he got shot in the back, and now he has a score to settle. He might have had a side-hustle or previous career involving gunfights before that.
dawn i see your reviewers have fun requests. thank you four smile and sense of our humar western or whatever mix. you make my day.
you still need to watch Beguiled with clint eastwood a civilwar era classic a change from the showdown westerns 😂❤
If you want to watch a really fun movie that stars a very young Clint Eastwood and the brilliant Lee Marvin, and has Clint actually singing early in the film before you've settled into your chair, check out the classic musical "Paint Your Wagon". The critics hated it, but it is truly a wonderful film, with outstanding performances from the entire cast. I think you will absolutely love it!
I saw this reaction this morning and went Wooooooo! Thanks Dawn!
According to Clint ..the character in High Plains Drifter is the Marshal's brother..not a ghost of the marshal
That was an early draft of the script.
There was also an early draft of the script that included an epilogue scene where we see the spirit of the Marshall leaving Eastwood’s body.
Clint Eastwood also said in another interview he preferred the ambiguous supernatural ending.
So there you go…
I always saw a connection between High Plains Drifter and Pale Rider. Both were about a protaganist who may, or might not, be a ghost.
The big guy is Richard Kiel. He had an ongoing role as the villain hit man known as Jaws during the James Bond films when Roger Moore was Bond. He also was in the cast of the original The Longest Yard movie starring Burt Reynolds.
That big gold nugget is called clovis, when its veins of gold within stone. That chunk of clovis would have been about enough to retire on.
Your next Clint Eastwood movie should be "Every Which Way But Loose".
she saddled the mare (female horse).The gold was mixed in with the rock, there was plenty of gold there, but more rock then gold.
A "Preacher" is often an "ordained minister" (recognized priest) with NO formal "congregation" (Church) that often goes around on their own looking for a "flock" (followers) in an area to official begin (build) a church of their own.
So, while officially instructed and recognized as an "religious authority figure" , they are also seen more of a mixture between a "loner" looking for a flock and as a wildcard in regard to official denominations, as they often had "personal views" that weren't entirely in line with what was written in the bible.
Pretty much a mash-up of SHANE & HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER. RE: SFX - you pretty much described what a foley artist does (create new sounds for the film via new sources like breaking vegetables and stepping on wood for footfalls). Nice job Dawn :D PS: He said mare to her meaning a horse.
It's fun watching you react to these old Clint films.
OPEN RANGE!!! you will love it
Indeed, terrific movie. Hard to go wrong with Duvall and Costner.
One of my favorites. The young girl who plays Megan is Sydney Penny who played Julia in the old drama All my children
Love your reactions and another western I recommend is TOMBSTONE, has an all star Cast with Kurt Russell and a brilliant performance from Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday.
RIP Chris Penn
Only 40 years old
The big guy played Mr. Larsen in “Happy Gilmore” with Adam Sandler. That’s a good watch.
Please watch The Quick and the Dead with Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio -- it's super fun!!!
Pale Rider was filmed in my home state of Idaho. Thanks for the video.
Absolutely so happy you're doing Pale Rider.!!!
