That’s not a bad opening scene! These shootingest guys are so eveeel that they kill a cow… and… THE LITTLE DOG!!! IS THERE NO LIMIT!
But seriously, it’s kinda wonky? Like all the stunt guys weren’t quite told where to be, so there was a lot of hesitancy? But it was pretty good anyway.
Poor cow.
Hey! This is a lot of fun! I mean, it’s funny! I don’t think Clintwood going for humour exactly, but this is “whoo! yeah!” in the most basic way.
It’s so silly! They’re just hitting that boulder? What about driving a steel pole into it or something to split it instead? I know, I’m not a master rock hitter or anything, but … that just seems like the … bare minimum… you should do.
Now they’re all hitting the boulder!!! I love it!
Is this a made-for-tv movie?
The film, which took in nearly $41 million at the box office, became the highest grossing Western of the 1980s.
It’s just so… gauche — you wouldn’t think a seasoned film cinematographer would sign off on some of these shots. But it’s a veteran, so…
This is such a fun movie — no subtext, just a super-hero that rides in to save the day, killing a whole bunch of assholes.
But it’s kinda… lacking… in any other qualities. But whatevs.
Pale Rider. Clint Eastwood. 1985. ⚄
