    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."

    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!

    [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.

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