| 590231 | 2007-09-12 00:13:00 | I am trying to find the name of a western that I saw back in the late 60's early 70's :o The film opens with a rifleman aiming a bipod mounted long barrel rifle at a horse rider who is approaching from a long way distant down a valley. Any ideas? :) |

| 590232 | 2007-09-12 01:37:00 | That scene rings a bell. But I have no idea of the movie. Clint Eastwood's spaghetti westerns come to mind which doesn't really narrow it down much. | mmmork (6822) | ||
| 590233 | 2007-09-12 02:06:00 | Long barreled sharps rifle, 1000 yd target range. Any help? | BobM (1138) | ||

| 590235 | 2007-09-12 02:38:00 | "Valdez is coming" 1971 had Burt Lancaster and a Sharps but I don't think he was in a bad mood right at the start. Does Zippity remember anything else about the plot or was the opening the best bit? |

| 590236 | 2007-09-12 02:58:00 | Sounds Like "A Fist Full of Dollars" to me. I'll check tonight if you like. One of the three classic Clint Eastwood films opens with a rider crossing desert flats in the distance, then a shot rings out and the rider falls. Excellent stuff and I have most of Clint's westerns. |

| 590237 | 2007-09-12 03:32:00 | Quigley Down Under had a Sharps Rifle too..maybe? It was Quigley's weapon of choice: a 1874 Sharps .45 Cal Buffalo Rifle. But be careful...there are a lot of rifles that look quite like a Sharps: The Winchester High Wall, The Remington Rolling Block, The 1873 Springfield, ................all are cataloged by Navy Arms in .45-70 with the Sharps also available in .45-90. I just saw (again) "Maverick", the Sharps in that movie was not shooting into a valley but off the stern of a paddle wheeler. A few other Sharps rifles were in movies/series like: Lonesome Dove Broken Trail The War Wagon Valdez Is Coming Young Guns My choice in movie weaponry is: the "NOISY CRICKET" ala MIB :lol: |

| 590238 | 2007-09-12 04:32:00 | Ooops! I forgot about: Little Big Man The Hunting Party Man With No Name I seem to remember one in "Two Mules For Sister Sarah" too . . . am I right? . . . and now a West-Meets-France joke: A Texas rancher and his wife were arguing while touring Paris . They were hardly speaking to each other after being seated in a fancy French restaurant for dinner . When the waiter arrived, the rancher said, "I'll have a BIG THICK RARE PORTERHOUSE STEAK . " The waiter replied, "Monsieur, what about Ze Mad Cow?" He said, "She'll have a salad . " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The old farmer was on his deathbed . He had only hours to live when suddenly he smelled the scent of fried chicken wafting into his room . Aaahhhh… He loved fried chicken more than anything else in the world . With his last bit of energy, he pulled himself out of bed… Down the stairs and into the kitchen he went . There was his beloved wife, Clair, standing at the stove frying up a second pan of chicken . As he reached towards the platter next to the stove for what might possibly be his last drum stick, he got smacked across the back of the hand with the wooden spoon his wife was holding . “Leave them alone” she scolded . “They’re for the funeral!” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before statehood in 1907, the Indian Territory was no place for a tenderfoot . There's a story that illustrates this, about a man who fled the Indian Territory in 1903 and didn't stop until he got to St . Louis . The man made quite a stir there, because he was driving a buckboard which was hitched to four mountain lions . The grizzly pioneer carried a Sharps buffalo rifle, wore two Navy colts strapped around his middle, and had a razor-sharp Bowie knife stuck under his belt . Sitting with him on the buckboard was his partner, a man who was even bigger, uglier and meaner than he was . As they got down from the buckboard and started toward the saloon, someone asked where they were from . "Indian Territory," growled the larger man . "Things are gettin' so bad down there that all of us sissies are having to get out . " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ . . . . . and now . . . a FREE Western Movie for ya if you have WMP: . ropeandwire . com/MainPages/Movies . html#" target="_blank">www . ropeandwire . com |

| 590240 | 2007-09-12 04:54:00 | OK! Test your memories on this one: Watched at the State Cinema in Symonds St, Auckland (Saturday matinee 1/- a ticket) some time in the mid to late '50s: Black & White Western, man holed up in cabin, bad guy(s) shooting at him, must have been two of them in the cabin because one gets buried in the floor with a tin pipe from the stove for air. Last scene I remember is the bad guy walking through the smoking ruins and kicking the tin pipe with his boot as he went past. I have always wondered what the heck it was all about, I missed a fair bit of the action hiding under the seat. Cheers Billy 8-{) :confused: |
