"On now ITV4, over 50 years old but still very powerful albeit with dodgy over dubing into English!
Will today's films be the same in 50 years time?"
Gotta love the old Westerns and war films, I watch movies4men quite a lot and there are some brilliant films on there that seem to have got better with age. Who needs modern technology and CGI anyway. |

My favourite trilogy of all time. Known as the dollar trilogy even tho there’s no mention of dollars in this one. Clint made that character just as he did Dirty Harry, nobody else could have done it justice. |

I know its hindsight but couldn't see previous four working somehow. |

Its funny how things work out . Leone desperately wanted Fonda but changed his mind .Bronson tore the script up said it was rubbish .Clint gleefully took it on
He said it was a good move .hence his production company Malpaso ....means good move |

Classic trilogy!
Apparently it was thanks to Richard Harrison that Clint got the role; Harrison recommended Clint as he knew that he could ride a horse and the rest as they say, is history.
Poor old Richard Harrison however subsequently ended up in a plethora of the infamous ‘cut and paste’ ninja movies of Godfrey Ho and Joseph Lai in the mid to late eighties, an ignominy so great that afterwards, he effectively quit the acting trade altogether. |
