That music at the end scared the hell out of me when I was a kid.
Best Western of all time
Definitely in the top 10, that is for sure.
Great ending scene. Great film.
The script did indeed have the Stranger as Marshall Duncan's outlaw brother coming to seek revenge. Eastwood removed all reference to the brother relationship and opted for ambiguity, leaving the viewer to their own interpretation. When he says Mordecai knows his name, his last name is Duncan, like his brother.
But then why did the camera zoom in on the gravestone, as though to imply that the Stranger was supposed to be Jim Duncan and then have him fade away now that he was properly put to rest?
Then whoever made this movie didn't adhere to the script. The beginning and end scenes shows the stranger appearing then disappearing. He gets shot, from the woman he molested, at point blank range, in a bathtub, and survives without a scratch then tells Mordechai that he knew him, and the camera points to the grave of Jim Duncan.
@@kevinmalone3210 but he hides in the bathtub from gunfire if hes already a ghost why try to duck down an avoid being shot ?
@@OFFCODEV2 Because that's gonna give away that he's inhuman. If he just sits there and takes the shots point blank they're gonna realize he can't die.
@@dannyboidee it doesnt matter if they know that or not ,who are they gonna go tell ? They live out in the middle of nowhere , an if he's inhuman why did he have to travel by horse to get to the town ?
This is a damn good movie
back when this was made, we didnt actually question stuff like people do now. We were just..entertained and enjoyed the show.
I don't know how Clint could be anyone other than Jim Duncan's ghost, based on this scene. Mordecai knows his name, and Mordecai just painted the name "Jim Duncan" on the tombstone. The movie also makes a point that the dead can't rest in an unmarked grave. The movie puts these details in because they're supposed to add up to something.
See my recent comment above.
Cant be jim Duncan's ghost cause it doesn't look like Eastwood
@@maximusvonce1381 You're right; that's just SCIENCE.
@@kingbeauregard "Like stepping on pins and needles, things fall apart, it scientific."
@@maximusvonce1381It’s his ghost. How else could Clint dream about it when he was sleeping?
And behold a pale horse, and the rider it bore ...
And Hell followed with him.
Was Clint a avenging angel or the vengeful spirit of the murdered marshal
Both. It's the same thing.
It's hard to say. The murdered marshal in the whipping scene was clearly not played by Clint Eastwood; in fact, it was Eastwood's stunt double Buddy Van Horn. The fact that they actually showed his face indicates that they meant to portray separate characters to us unlike what is usually the case with stunt doubles.
Thus, Jim Duncan may have had an avenging brother, or perhaps a supernatural being that looked like him who came to settle the score- but why? It's a bit enigmatic unlike 12 years later with _Pale Rider_ whose avenger was most definitely supernatural.
@2polohunnie DuMontier I can see that. Pale rider was great too.
@@DrFunk-rk6yl I liked it.
Clint wanted people to decide for themselves, I personally believe he was the ghost of the murdered Marshal.
Better than Marvel Movies
one of my fav eastwood movies
Such a damn good movie
I like the town set
A fantastic movie 🎬
The avenging drifter may have been Marshal Jim Duncan's ghost, Duncan's brother, or Duncan's ghost brother 🤔
it was actually Duncan Hines, his cousin...he became a baker....
@@jamesparker1063 ha ha! High Plains Sifter 🙂
Lmfao😂@@BigBri550
Он, я надеюсь, открыл им глаза на то как они жили: и во что превратились!
Love Clint❤❤❤❤❤❤
great end sequence edited by Ferris Webster
WHat is so good about this ending is the ambiguity of it. Eastwood left it up to the viewers to decide who the Stranger was. Was he the brother of the Marshall, the ghost of the Marshall, some vengeful spirit or demon or angel out to punish not only the killers but the town for their complicity in his death, or even the devil himself. I am sure everyone has their theories and thoughts and ratehr than spell it out, Eastwood let it just hang there, never truly nudging it towards any answer.
For myself, I tend to ward the notion of a vengeful spirit, wither the marshall or some other form with his memories, wreaking havoc on the town. What I find interesting is that 2 people are redeemed in it all. Sarah Belding shows that she did not agree with the actions of the town but was silenced, and she expresses her guilt and shame and earns some redemption from that. Mortdecai similarly is redeemed when he saves the Stranger from being shot by Belding at the end. I like that for all the crueslty of the Stranger, he does show mercy to those he consideres innocent.
I would not have dared to ride into such a town in that fashion. The rough treatment would have been too rich for my blood.
Why is Clint the good guy in this movie I mean look what he does at the beginning of the movie
He was just teaching her some manners
It is not about good guys vs bad guys, you know? This is a movie about vengeance in its darkest form.
Where did they get that much red paint?
Thank you CLINT for making all your moves the BEST . WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE BEST DAY'S OF HOLLYWOOD. BECAUSE HOLLYWOOD DOESN'T MAKE MEN LIKE YOU ANYMORE. THEY'RE ALL SO LEFT THEY CAN'T BE RIGHT ABOUT ANYTHING 🙏💞👍
Actually, Eastwood view of the old west is far more left than you think. Especially in comparison to westerns that came before the spaghetti westerns.
@@DrFunk-rk6yl CLINT doesn't have a left bone in his body. FACT 👍
He’s the same guy in Pale Rider where he may or may not be supernatural!
The ghost of Jim Duncan.
Mono Lake.
Marshal Jim Duncan ... they thought he was dead ... they should have made sure
can you upload Air Force One (1997) try to upload on July
who is this mystery man who comes into town and wrecks vengeance upon it is he a spectral avenger from beyond the grave find out on next time on unsolved mysteries
UPDATE: thanks to alert viewers, our center received a tip that the mystery man has been spotted in Carmel California. Retired police detective Harry Callahan has declined to comment.
@@kingbeauregard lol
Two minutes forty seconds and Clint didn't kill anyone? I want my money back!
Love that movie! I read a month ago that ol John Wayne didn't like how Clint pro-trade the west. Wayne thinks it to be one way and one way only and that's his way. John Wayne I liked a lot, but the man to me is a bullie. From the clothes worn and how a cowboy should look. John Wayne didn't like how Clint Eastwood did the west. Kinda dumb if you ask me. I've been reading a lot of John Wayne on his dislike's of certain actors. My conclusion.. (That's a bullie) it's either done his way or it's wrong
Eastwood had asked him if he wanted to be in one if his movies. It might have been the outlaw Josey Wales. His response was Eastwood's view of the old west was un-American. Wayne was also a huge hypocrite too.
John Wayne was a scumbag.
He's a ghost .....if it was his brother how would he know the only people that were trying to stop it or to scared to...and didn't do a thing to them ...you would of had to be there to know this
John Wayne hated this movie.

"I never did know your name." "Yes you do". The camera pans in with the name Duncan in the exact middle of the screen. The marshal had a gunslinger for a twin brother - revenge is a dish best served cold.
if he was a twin how come he didn't look like the marshall?
@@joshlight6892not all twins are identical.
In an episode of A&E's Biography, Clint Eastwood stated that his character of the stranger in this film was not the ghost of the Marshal who was killed before the film's opening, but was in fact the Marshal's brother.
It was in the original script, his brother but not here in the actual movie. They made it in the movie like he would be a ghost.
What’s funny is that the French dubbing kept that part, he explicitly says that he is the Marshall’s brother
@@felixjenft3514They did the same in Spain and France
He was shot in the bath and didn't die. It's his ghost ffs! Plus the "help me" bit!!!
If he wasn’t the ghost then how and why would he fade away like that at the end??
I think with the creepy undertones during this scene that he was definitely Jim Duncan’s ghost, plus that part with the girl saying something like “the dead can’t rest in an unmarked grave.” Not to mention he specifically dreamed of being whipped himself. However the biggest detail that I never noticed until recently was at the beginning when he’s riding into town a stage coach pulls up and the man whips the horses, Clint in that brief moment had an uneasy expression on his face, almost like PTSD.
Or he survived the beating, but there would be nothing to bury
I can see how some might think that it's his brother, you can interpret it how you want... but in my opinion there's no way that's his brother. It's pretty obvious to me he is a demon/spirit, it's hinted at A LOT throughout the film. Even the music has a ghostly feel to it.
I agree not to mention the fact that he disappears into thin air at the end
It was Jim Duncan's brother played by Eastwood. He was a gunslinger.
I always thought it was the brother, too.
What did it for me was when Stacey Bridges, at the end, said, "WHO ARE YOU"
Stacey Bridges & Cole would've remembered Jim Duncan's face when they came in town.
@@Megahustla313rd he straight up disappears at the end lol, Eastwood clearly wants you to know he's the ghost of the marshal
It's obviously a spirit and not a real guy
I know Clint has said this guy is not a ghost and the preacher from Pale Rider is, but I think those are backwards. They say the Drifter is the Marshall's brother, but he seems to possess the memories of the dead man. And even if he doesn't, how would he know what happened? No one in town talked about it. And if that last line would only applying to knowing his last name if he was the Marshall's brother.
Meanwhile, the Preacher has some bullet holes that would be tough to survive, but they were scarred over as if healed. We also had to actually see him go to a bank and get his gun from a safety deposit box.
So I think that the Drifter is the ghost of the marshal. The Preacher is a former gunslinger who opposed, or perhaps worked for, the Pale Rider villain Marshal Stockburn, but was shot by the corrupt marshal and his deputies. He was left for dead, but lives and became a Preacher.
The Preacher was an avenging ghost, just like in High Plains Drifter. The comment you made, the bullet holes were tough to survive would've been fatal. The girl prays for a miracle, and her prayer is answered.
Wow
Absolutely love this film and when I was doing film studies back in the early 90’s we discussed this as a class assignment and all agreed that “the stranger” was a combination of ghost of the Marshall/Avenging Angel.
Man. They don't mak'em like this anymore.
Clint definitely gave the coolest performance of satan that you’re gonna get.
Or an arch angel.. revenging an evil
The ghost of Jim Duncan cursed the townsfolk along with Stacy Bridges and the Carlin Brothers. His curse was answered. The Devil himself said to Duncan, "I can give you the power to take every vengeance upon those who betrayed you."
Clint cool guy 😊
See No Evil (2006) scenes please.
Epic!👌
Need a Joe kidd
🥶 🥶
Lol everyone in the comments ruining it for me😂😂I thought all this time he was a ghost. That would have been so cool!
It is his ghost😉
Nope, they got it wrong, and you got it right, because it was his ghost! All the clues are there in the movie.
Is This Red Dead Redemption?
NO; IT'S Called The High Plains Drifter. It's the ghost of the Murdered Marshall that you saw on the grave marker. He came Back to Kill the Three Men who murdered Him AND THE village people didn't t do ANYTHING to Help Him.
@@andynieuwenhuis7833 In an episode of A&E's Biography, Clint Eastwood stated that his character of the stranger in this film was not the ghost of the Marshal who was killed before the film's opening, but was in fact the Marshal's brother
@@JP-jb5di At THE VERY END OF THE MOVIE; WHEN HE'S TALKING TO MORITKI AT THE GRAVE M ARKER. HE CLEAR SAID THAT MODITKI KNEW HIS MANE, THEN IT SHOWS WHO HE IS.
red dead is a video game (and you have to play it because its just amazing, the story is the one of the best in the westren genre in general)
Vengeance is mine says the Lord God Almighty
Long live the high plains drifter 😇✝️
And Jesus is King Of Kings and Lord Of Lords
Good movie, ruined by crappy "music".
The music is fine.
@@BillGunslinger Not in my opinion. Dee Barton certainly was a good jazz musician. But he failed to translate his art to fit the genre. Morricone was successful in that, Barton not so much. The music by itself may be good and enjoyable, but it doesn't click here.
That music is so funny,it makes me remember an old clasical cartoon of ghosts of Merrie Melodies 😂😂😂
