John Wayne vs Clint Eastwood etc.

[Rodion Romanovich]

Who is the king of the west? If they would meet in a duel, who would win the duel? And who made the coolest movies?

edit: damn 7 views and still no more votes...?!!! this is an as important question as ninjas vs pirates and I think everyone should do their duty and vote!

[Reverend Joe]

AAAH!!! You are making me choose... WHY?!

I had to vote Gah. No way to choose. They are all kings in their own right.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Gene Wilder

[Craterus]

Clint Eastwood.

[The Stranger]

Clint Eastwood...no doubt

[Ianofsmeg16]

Clint, he may be old, but he still makes the bad guys pay!

[The Stranger]

we should have him as the mod. NO MORE SPAM with CLINT IN CHARGE

[Spino]

In a duel between the Clint Eastwood & John Wayne the latter wouldn't stand a chance. Blonde's lightning fast reflexes would send the Duke to a dusty grave for sure. However, the Duke isn't your run of the mill hombre from the badlands. In order to bring down the Duke down Clint would have to unload an entire Colt 45 revolver into him, reload... then do it again!

Thanks to the Italians Clint wound up starring in the coolest and most memorable westerns ever made. The westerns he did afterwards were good and they certainly ranked high on America's home grown list but none came close to the trilogy he did for Leone. Hell, even the spaghetti western soundtracks kicked ass; Ennio Morricone's scores set the bar so high that everyone immediately refers to his work when discussing the genre. Do you know anyone who hums or whistles the soundtracks to "The Searchers" or "Rio Bravo"??? I certainly don't, but once in awhile I still catch someone making that trademark whistle tune from "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly."

Clint + Sergio Leone + Ennio Morricone = Best Westerns Ever

now THAT would be interesting! Clint would draw the lock and banstick faster than any other mod could do

[A.Saturnus]

14 to 0 know! John Wayne is now officially p0wned.

[Alexanderofmacedon]

Feeling lucky? Huh? Are ya?

[Mithrandir]

Charles Bronson.

I’d have to say ninjas.

Charles Bronson.

Finally, someone votes for the Harmonica Man!

"You taking me to see Frank?"
"Frank sent us... but it looks like we're one horse short."
"No. You brought two too many."

[Dutch_guy]

Charles Bronson.

Seconded, he does the ''kill all the bad guys even though they outnumber you ten to one and are armed with automatic rifles '' act better than Clint, though on westerns per se it's kind of hard really, vote for them both if I could.

For now it's Bronson, just because he's losing.

Pure gold, as most of the lines in Sergio Leone's movies Virtual beer for those who can guess which movies these come from:

"When you gotta shoot shoot, don't talk"

"Who said I was joking?"

not sure about exact phrasing for this one:
"17, 18... 18? *turns around and shoots the last surviving villain* 19."
"Any problems boy?"
"Yeah, I thought I had problems with my heading, but it's all right now."

"This train doesn't stop at Tucamcare"
(calmly lowers book) "This train will stop at Tucamcare"

[Kanamori]

John Wayne is the one, and only, true cowboy of the west.

I prefer Yojimbo more than For a Few Dollars More, which the former was the original, but both are quite good, in my opinion.


I had to read a good literary piece on Wayne, once, but now I am forgetting her name. Gah!

[GoreBag]

Clint. He's not really a cowboy because he wears a poncho.

[Spino]

[QUOTE=LegioXXXUlpiaVictrix]Pure gold, as most of the lines in Sergio Leone's movies Virtual beer for those who can guess which movies these come from:

I'll give it a shot...

"When you gotta shoot shoot, don't talk"

Duco (Eli Wallach) in the Good, the Bad & the Ugly.

"Who said I was joking?"

Was that Blonde (Clint) speaking to Duco in the Good, the Bad & the Ugly?

not sure about exact phrasing for this one:
"17, 18... 18? *turns around and shoots the last surviving villain* 19."
"Any problems boy?"
"Yeah, I thought I had problems with my heading, but it's all right now."

Munco (Clint Eastwood) speaking to Colonel Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef) in the final scene from For a Few Dollars More.

children looking at a "duel" about to being:
"Look, they're doing like we use to play!"

Not sure. Fistful of Dollars or Once Upon a Time in the West?

"I sell myself for 5000 dollars, that's 4970 more than Judas"
"They didn't have dollars in those days"

Not sure. Exchange between Duco & Blonde from TGTB&TU? Something tells me it might be Once Upon a Time in the West.

"This train will stop a Tucamcare"

Colonel Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef) speaking to the train conductor in For a Few Dollars More.

Funny you should bring that last scene up because I'm pretty good at doing imitations and can do an uncanny one of Lee Van Cleef and the actor who played the elderly conductor. Every time I do that scene for my friend it never fails to make him laugh.

One stroke of genius Leone had was casting Henry Fonda as the bad guy in Once Upon a Time in the West. Hank was famous for playing the straight good guy roles and all of a sudden he's playing a grade A opportunistic S.O.B. That flashback during the final scene between Hank & Chuck never fails to make my spine tingle.

Someone already lested them I believe, but without looking I'll give it a shot:

Good, Bad & Ugly,

Don't know,

Few Dollars More...

I KNOW that last one! I just can't remember...
That's it! Few Dollars More again.

Edit: the Judas line was Once Upon a Time in the West. Can't remember when, but Cheyenne says the Judas line to Harmonica, and Harmonica responds, "They didn't have dollars in those days."

Couple more:

"End of the line."

"Sorry, Shorty."

"They call 'em millions."

"Sure... I think we should give 'em a burial. (sarcastic)...And maybe we should give them a sermon, and maybe a psalm or two would be in order!"

I am not sure about the wording of the last one. One hint about it, in case it is misworded too badly- it comes from a sort-f western; it doesn't really take place in the usual time period, but it feels like a western.

[Rodion Romanovich]

@Zorba: Damn, I'm not sure about any of those new ones... I only know enough movie quotes to ask questions, but not to answer other people's questions, I now realize...

Btw all answers were correct

The "who said i was joking" line comes from for a few dollars more. Clint has infiltrated the group of villains, and together with one part of the group he robs the bank in El Paso and retreats outside the town. Then the other men ask him something like "what are we going to say to the boss now", and he answers he'll say that they were ambushed and all died, except him. They then answer something like "nice joke", to which he responds "who said I was joking?"

I checked up up the ones I edited out which I wasn't sure about. The one with playing was when Lee Van Clef and Clint meet for the first time in For a few dollars more. The Judas quote was from Once upon a Time in the west.

[Csargo]

Clint Eastwood owns John Wayne and you wanna know why?

I dont know why I just voted.

[Ja'chyra]

Can I just say that after Brokeback (or Humpback as it will now be known) Mountain cowboys are just not cool, the only people young boys have to aspire to now are pirates, Yarrrrrrrrrrrrr me hearties

[Mithrandir]

Gays can't be cool?

[Quietus]

Charles Bronson.

You slighted, by not adding, Chuck Norris! Your days are numbered (when Chuck finds out).

[Spino]

Wouldn't that make it 'Butt Pirates of the Carribbean'?
