Silverado is a loveletter to the western genre. The final duel is a highlight for me because it reconstructs showdowns like this by having the two opponents be friends who, knowing this is their final meeting, settle on giving each other a fair chance. They both know one of them ain't walking away, and would rather face each other directly rather than run or shoot the other in the back. A simple but plausible reason for why a showdown like this could work in fiction.
One thing that kind of spoils a lot of otherwise great movies is when someone is shot and goes flying 8 feet through the air backwards. That is so ridiculously overdone, it simply NEVER happens in reality. Just silly, overdone nonsense. Dynamite maby, gunshot never.
There's a few good "duel" scenes in a western that no one ever seems to mention. "Lawman" with Burt Lancaster is, in my opinion, an excellent movie. Well worth watching if you haven't seen it..... Nice video. 👍
My Personal Top 20 (In Order of Film Release): 1. Stagecoach (1939) - John Wayne [Ringo] vs. Tom Tyler (Luke Plummer) & Plummer Brothers 2. Red River (1948) - John Wayne (Thomas Dunson) vs. Montgomery Clift (Matt Garth) 3. Winchester '73 (1950) - Jimmy Stewart (Lin McAdam) vs. Stephan McNally (Matthew McAdam) 4.

Seven Men From Now (1956) - Randolph Scott (Ben Stride) vs. Lee Marvin (Bill Masters) 7. Man Of The West (1958) - Gary Cooper (Link Jones) vs. Lee J. Cobb (Dock Tobin) 8. Ride Lonesome (1959) - Randolph Scott (Ben Brigade) vs. Lee Van Cleef (Frank) 9. Rio Bravo (1959) - John Wayne (John T. Chance) & Ricky Nelson (Colorado Ryan) vs. 3 of Nathan Burdette's Outlaws 10.

Pale Rider (1985) - Clint Eastwood (The Preacher) vs. John Russell (Marshal Stockburn) 20. Open Range (2003) - Kevin Costner (Charley Waite) vs. Kim Coates (Butler) I think these all qualify as Duels as opposed to all-out shootouts, if that's the criteria set for this list. They're all great duels from classics of the genre.
@@Cenriquezm It is on a long list of westerns I have heard of all my life but never got around to watching. I only just finished 'Death Rides a Horse' after hearing of it for 20 years. So many classics. So little time. LOL
@@matthalpin1981 Well, The Great Silence is typically considered the best non-Leone spaghetti western, so you probably have it somewhere at the top of your list of must watches. It even has a great Morricone soundtrack!
@@matthalpin1981 go watch it ASAP. It is a masterpiece that defies convention on so many levels, from its setting, the role of the main character, inter racial relationships, the main ending, just don't hesitate, bump it straight to the top of the list. It was years ahead in so many ways. That film is epic, plus it also has a killer Morricone score.
The Mercenary (1968) - Tony Musante vs Jack Palance; Seven Men from Now - Randolph Scott vs Lee Marvin; The Shootist (1976) - John Wayne vs four in the saloon; Trinity Is Still My Name (1971) - Terence Hill vs Antonio Monselesan.
HOMBRE by Elmore Leonard Cicero Grimes: “Well now, what do you suppose hell is going to be like?” John Russell: “We all die. It’s just a question of when.”
My favourite is in the movie "WARLOCK". Henry Fonda faces his friend Anthony Quinn. Fonda wins the duel but one is left knowing that Quinn deliberately shot at his hat to miss and was clearly quicker. The emotion showed by Fonda afterwards for the loss of his friend was pure vintage.
Great list, especially the Lee Van Cleff entries. A lot of good shoot outs in Wyatt Earp, especially the one with a pool ball. 😂 Have you seen The Gunfight (1971), starring Kirk Douglas and Johnny Cash?
Solid list. One of my favorites is the shootout between Nobody (Terence Hill) and Jack Beauregard (Henry Fonda) in My Name Is Nobody. I loved the quick reference to The Good, the Bad and the Weird.
Very interesting list and well-chosen. Some others than stand out for me: Ride the High Country; Warlock; The Tin Star; Hombre, and The Culpepper Cattle Company.
And the real underappreciated star of this list is . . . LEE VAN CLEEF! Without him, you'd have to go looking - and isn't it interesting that the only time John Wayne appears is as a hidden shooter. Although his portrayal in "The Shootist" (especially as a man dying of cancer, which he was personally at the time) was very poignant. My personal #1 is the Quigley scene - in Cowboy Action Shooting I'm known as a fast lever action shooter - but I also know my SA Rugers.
Excellent list! However, I believe the showdown between Paco and Curly in *The Mercenary* (1968) deserves a spot in the top 5 best western duels, not to mention it features one of Ennio Morricone's greatest scores. The *Vera Cruz* (1954) showdown certainly merits a place in the top 10 or 15. Additionally, coming from left field, Bob Hope's duel in *The Paleface* (1948) was truly hilarious and undoubtedly warrants inclusion on this list.
The duel in The Mercenary is a deliberate parody of Sergio Leone. Director Corbucci was Leone's co-director in previous westerns. Look for the "His Master's Voice" banner above the arena. Plus the clown makeup and, of course, Morricone's music. No use for the movie-- but that duel... . ... .
Two scenes/lines from "Vera Cruz" that I have always loved: When Cooper says to Lancaster, about why the captain of the soldiers is trying to kill him, and Lancaster (who sold him the horse) tells him "Why not, that's his horse your riding". And at the ball where the mercenaries are brought to eat, Lancaster grabs a bottle of wine and starts to drink when one of the Spanish soldiers says to him, "Be careful, senor, you might get some down your mouth". Then Lancaster gives that "Lancaster slow-breaking-smile" and reaches and snaps his cigarette holder in half. I always thought this movie (For its time: 1954) was hugely underrated. Noted others that were in that movie, Charles Bronson, Ernest Borgnine, Cesar Romero and Jack Elam.
There's also the duel in Pale Rider, when Clint Eastwood has to eliminate all twelve of Marshal Stockburn's deputies before the final duel against Stockburn.
I admit, I found it fitting that Unforgiven and Shane was back to back in your listing, although I think I would have had them a little higher, but that's more about personal preferences than anything else. However I must admit that I'm more than a little disappointment that the final shootout in the movie Unforsaken didn't even make the list. I think that Keefer Sutherland's ability to end the much anticipated shootout before it even begins to be quite gratifying
@VFRSTREETFIGHTER you're right. I replied to the comment before I finished the video. There are a lot of "duels" in this video about duels that aren't duels.
#1 Here clearly " The Once Upon A Time In The West"....and " The Claudia Cardinal" the prize...a still hearthrob for a now boomer...lololol...my rated best western...Open Range gets high marks for realistic misses in a gunfight..reloads ect...Duvall, Costner and Annette Bening great back story to epic gunfight...wow..thanks for memories on this vid
One bit of trivia in the duel of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is that Angeleyes is using a cap and ball revolver with a gun belt full of metallic cartridges that can't be used in it.
The Magnificent Seven. When Britt (James Colburn) tells the railroader.."You lost". And at the end, when a dying bandit Calvera says to Chris (Yul Brenner), "You came back..for a place like this. Why?"
Silverado is genuinely one of the greatest westerns ever made. It is that good. But how’d you miss the potentially, most realistic shoot-out in cinematic history, from Appaloosa?
Missed the Rio Bravo duel, the final showdown in lordsburg from Stagecoach 1939, in fact, quile a few more too, including Ty Sackett facing down Reed Carney and later Tom Sunday from the Sacketts
Good list but I would have to make room for the climax of one of the best most underrated westerners ever made, Ride the High Country. You would do it for Randolph Scott!!!
You missed the opening shootout at the train station at the start of Once Upon A Time In The West
That’s my number 1
The Outlaw Josey Wales, when he says to the four Union soldiers, “Are you gonna pull them pistols or whistle Dixie”.
Absolutely!
One of the best lines ever.
@@williamcarter361 also from the outlaw, get ready little lady hell is coming to breakfast
One of the BEST westerns of all time!
....and what happened...💥
'A Fistful of Dollars' and 'Once Upon a Time in the West' - Both movies have an opening duel as good as its climactic duel.
I love how Lee Van Cleef is all over the video 🖤
So good! SO underrated! One of the best of all time!
Lee Van Cleef, was one of the best good guy, bad guy, movie Cowboys of all time😊😊
Silverado is a loveletter to the western genre.

The duel at the end of TGTBTU is my favorite movie moment, period. Love it.
One thing that kind of spoils a lot of otherwise great movies is when someone is shot and goes flying 8 feet through the air backwards. That is so ridiculously overdone, it simply NEVER happens in reality. Just silly, overdone nonsense. Dynamite maby, gunshot never.
@@RidesmuleYes, that has always bothered me as well!
@@Ridesmule....yep....but it looks good....😁
So 20% of them contain Lee Van Cleef.
Outstanding.
And quite a few had Ennio Morricone building the tension.
Absolute 1st place support! The Good, bad and the ugly --- The best Western of all time!!
The Good, bad and the ugly😊😊😅
Matthew Quigley: "I said; _I never had much use for one._ Never said I didn't know how to use it."
Fantastic line from a criminally underrated movie.
A few dollars more.... love the end when Lee Van Cleef touches his and says to Clint Eastwood, "maybe next time", always gets me a little emotional 😢
Excellent list and I love the order. The three-way standoff from Good the Bad and the Ugly is deservedly in number 1 spot. Well done!
It has no real climax, it has no revelation, it is no mistery solved. Yess, deservedly😂
But 3 people is not a duel ..
It’s a Truel
@@kimberlyjacobsen4148 LOL New word! Awesome!!!
Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone they were incredible
That is a very good list. My is vey similar.
Place 1. is always TGTBTU and there will ever be!
Thank you for mentioning The Big Country. Such an underrated western, and one of my favorites.
Enjoyed this.Lee van Cleefs in a huge number of them. He's even in High Noon!!
And "The man who Shot Liberty Valance"
Thats right!@@hannibalheyes339
There's a few good "duel" scenes in a western that no one ever seems to mention. "Lawman" with Burt Lancaster is, in my opinion, an excellent movie. Well worth watching if you haven't seen it..... Nice video. 👍
That & Burt Lancaster vs Gary Cooper in Vera Cruz.
Said I never had much use for one…never said I couldn’t use it

20. Open Range (2003) - Kevin Costner (Charley Waite) vs. Kim Coates (Butler)
I think these all qualify as Duels as opposed to all-out shootouts, if that's the criteria set for this list. They're all great duels from classics of the genre.
The Searchers (1956) -John Wayne - this is my favorite in first place
What about 3.10 to Yuma with Russell Crow !!! - and the Glen Ford version before that !!
Awesome Choices, I've seen more than half of them. Thanks
Lee van cliff, what a man he was❤🎯
For "Once upon a time", I would have chosen the initial scene, at the railway station. That one is really epic.
💯💯💯
“…two horse too many!”
Honourable mention to 'The Great Silence'. That subversion and complete shocker of an ending is insane.
I will have to watch that one and see how it unfolds.
@@matthalpin1981 My dude, get out of here and watch it, or you're gonna get spoiled!
@@Cenriquezm It is on a long list of westerns I have heard of all my life but never got around to watching. I only just finished 'Death Rides a Horse' after hearing of it for 20 years. So many classics. So little time. LOL

The last shoot out in Pale Rider is epic but I think you got this right
The “thumbnail “ with the missing middle finger tip - the outstanding Lee Van Cleef
Lost it building a play house for his nephew.
This hand with the missing part of the finger... My favorite movie of all time.
The Mercenary (1968) - Tony Musante vs Jack Palance;
Seven Men from Now - Randolph Scott vs Lee Marvin;
The Shootist (1976) - John Wayne vs four in the saloon;
Trinity Is Still My Name (1971) - Terence Hill vs Antonio Monselesan.
All-time greatest is the opening gunfight scene in Once Upon a Time in the West.
Missed the final duel between Clint Eastwood and John Russell in Pale Rider
Yes, a great one
Remake of Shane. Girl instead of boy.
HOMBRE by Elmore Leonard
Cicero Grimes: “Well now, what do you suppose hell is going to be like?”
John Russell: “We all die. It’s just a question of when.”
My favourite is in the movie "WARLOCK". Henry Fonda faces his friend Anthony Quinn. Fonda wins the duel but one is left knowing that Quinn deliberately shot at his hat to miss and was clearly quicker. The emotion showed by Fonda afterwards for the loss of his friend was pure vintage.
Another that could have made the list is " The Fastest Gun Alive" (1955) with Glenn Ford and Broderick Crawford.
Great list, especially the Lee Van Cleff entries. A lot of good shoot outs in Wyatt Earp, especially the one with a pool ball. 😂
Have you seen The Gunfight (1971), starring Kirk Douglas and Johnny Cash?
Appaloosa had a couple of really good shootouts
Solid list. One of my favorites is the shootout between Nobody (Terence Hill) and Jack Beauregard (Henry Fonda) in My Name Is Nobody.
I loved the quick reference to The Good, the Bad and the Weird.
💯💯💯
Very interesting list and well-chosen. Some others than stand out for me: Ride the High Country; Warlock; The Tin Star; Hombre, and The Culpepper Cattle Company.
Yeah man, Hombre
The final shootout in "The Wild Bunch "
And the real underappreciated star of this list is . . . LEE VAN CLEEF! Without him, you'd have to go looking - and isn't it interesting that the only time John Wayne appears is as a hidden shooter.

We rarely get decent western stories nowadays
Pretty good list. You got it right with number 1 though.
Excelente selección !! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
you nailed it dude 👍
I would add "3:10 to Uma" the shooting after the release of the main villan
The best ever showdown scene was at the end of 3:10 to Yuma. You are correct my friend.
Rooster Cogburn and Ned Pepper in the meadow scene was pretty epic as well.
Excellent list! However, I believe the showdown between Paco and Curly in *The Mercenary* (1968) deserves a spot in the top 5 best western duels, not to mention it features one of Ennio Morricone's greatest scores.

Orgulloso que en mi país España, en una comarca burgalesa al norte...se haya rodado el duelo del oeste más legendario de todos los tiempos.
Trivia: the last hour of the film High Noon, the film’s clock matches the run time of the movie (bravo Film makers 🎉)
I would have put Mortimer versus Indio at number one.
There's also the duel in Pale Rider, when Clint Eastwood has to eliminate all twelve of Marshal Stockburn's deputies before the final duel against Stockburn.
Damn good list, man.
The final shootout in Pale Rider. And while there's no actual shootout in Hign Plains Drifter, there is a lot of great gun play.
Lawman is an outstanding western, an outstanding film . Four stars.
Excellent 🎉

Open Range is one of my absolute favorites
Valdez Is Coming
Well done!
You are right except for the openning scene of One upon a time at the train station, it should have been at least in the ten position !
Great video!
Everybody that loves westerns should watch: Old Henry!!! Trust me its the best in years
Honorable mentions:
- The Mercenary
- Cemetery without Crosses
- Dead Men Ride
- A Stranger in Town
I'm partial to the shootout at Candyland in Django Unchained because he uses surprise and his enemies dropped guns.
In my eyes Django isn't a western.......
The Wild Bunch (1969) The greatest shootout in cinema history🤠
My first place is "Vera Cruz". LoL
Lancaster, Cooper, Borgnine, Romero, Bronson and even great character actor Jack Elam
Loved all those movies ,but my 2 top OnceUpon A Time In The Old West and The Good , the Bad and the Ugly.
Cant best the score , and the plot!
The Fastest Gun in the West with Glen Ford
Great selection of the greatest westerns - TY. However the ending scene in The Shootist should be in amongst this collection IMO.
Darn,that was a great one
"A Fist Full OF Dollars" Get three coffins ready scene .
My mistake, make it four.
You missed the duels at 3:10 to yuma, magnificent 7, my name is nobody and more.
#21. Gary Cooper vs Burt Lancaster. I Forgot the Name of the Western? It's was Great.
"I beleive it's Veracruz".

@@ristosiasanis8241 Touche' (smile)
The first duel at the train station in once upon the west is, for me better.
What do you think is the best Western duel of all time?
U have it
Shane vs Wilson.
It is a poor list, man. Go back and do your studies.
Wrong
What about, kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster in Ok corral? .........
#1
Here clearly " The Once Upon A Time In The West"....and " The Claudia Cardinal" the prize...a still hearthrob for a now boomer...lololol...my rated best western...Open Range gets high marks for realistic misses in a gunfight..reloads ect...Duvall, Costner and Annette Bening great back story to epic gunfight...wow..thanks for memories on this vid
The final gun battle in The Shootist.
One bit of trivia in the duel of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is that Angeleyes is using a cap and ball revolver with a gun belt full of metallic cartridges that can't be used in it.
Appaloosa is the best shootout I've seen, period.
The Magnificent Seven. When Britt (James Colburn) tells the railroader.."You lost". And at the end, when a dying bandit Calvera says to Chris (Yul Brenner), "You came back..for a place like this. Why?"
What about the confrontation with the two would-be bounty hunters at the trading post in The Outlaw Josie Wales?
Buster Scrubbs duels were gr8 too
I would have picked "Once Upon A Time In The West" as number one. It is my favorite. Tombstone as the second. After that it doesn't matter.
Yeah these movies snd the Bads Spencer and Terence Hill westerns
Any duel with the bad winning ???
Silverado is genuinely one of the greatest westerns ever made. It is that good. But how’d you miss the potentially, most realistic shoot-out in cinematic history, from Appaloosa?
My Name is Nobody was a decent dual with Henry Fonda and Terence Hill.
Sergio Leone / Ennio Moricone
4 of the top 5, including 1 - 2 and 3.
Also Ride the high Country, Duel at OK corral, Wild Bunch, Winchester 73
Missed the Rio Bravo duel, the final showdown in lordsburg from Stagecoach 1939, in fact, quile a few more too, including Ty Sackett facing down Reed Carney and later Tom Sunday from the Sacketts
Two great westerns not mentioned are Warlock with Henry Fonda and Richard Widmark, and the excellent Lawman with Burt Lancaster.
Warlock
Sorry my friend Shane is The number one ❤
" get 3 coffins ready ",,,
The final shootout in Old Henry.
I just loved Kevin Costner's 13 shot revolver.
In Unforgiven the shotgun does not jam , it misfires .
Good list but I would have to make room for the climax of one of the best most underrated westerners ever made, Ride the High Country. You would do it for Randolph Scott!!!
Isn't that line from "Blazing Saddles"?
Appaloosa. "That was fast." "Everybody knew what they were doing."
That thumbnail is Lee VanCleef! I recognize that missing finger tip!!
