What do you mean exactly with the āmost quotableā?
You think it has better dialogues or one liners than the Leone and Corbucci films?
At least on their level.
Yes, i think there are a lot of good one-liners in DRAH. More than the Leoneās or Corbucciās, though iād rather watch them.
Truth is I canāt remember any outstanding dialogue in DRaH. In fact the whole screenplay is nothing special, and for me much weaker than Vincenzoniās work for the 2 Sergios. (But for those he wasnāt the only cook in the kitchen)
Well ā¦
āBefore they kill me, I gotta give them permission and I donāt think Iāll give it to them.ā
āYou got a stupid face, but you get itā
āWho are you?ā
āSomeone who takes his anger out on menā
āMy gun!ā
āThey came in the window. It wasnāt to wish me pleasant dreamsā
āFifteen years, thereās been no new track. Only a spur. Then you come along, and thereās three spursā
Iād say the dialog is very good & memorable. In fact, along with the score, itās one of the movies strong points.
The score is good but not half as good as in a Leone.
And these dialogue examples are nothing special imo. Just ok, not more. Again, compared to e.g. GBU, there are worlds between.
Being a sort of newbie (though Iāve seen a lot in the short time that Iāve been watching) to Spaghettis, the other day was the first time that I saw Death Rides A Horse and have to say that I was pretty impressed with it.
I think this was mostly due to two things.
First, Lee Van Cleef. Yes, there were some real groaners that he was in (some that Iāve seen, some that Iāve heard about) but the man was legend.
And two, the duststorm running gun battle near the end. This was nicely done, doing its job of making me think about what I would do if I were caught up in it.
The tin acting of John Phillip Law kinda works for the character of Bill but makes me wonder what would have happened if Bill had been played by someone with a bit more experience under his belt.
All in all, I like Death Rides A Horse very much.
I have to agree with you, the duststorm scene was well-done. By the way, welcome to the forum Christopher Grant!

Heāll be cominā down the mountains
Heāll be cominā downļ»æ the mountains

Whoāll be the first to test his gun
Whoāll be the last to see the ground

Tu que Ć©s entendido de mĆŗsica, conheces estes tipos:
NĆ£o, nunca tinha ouvido falar, mas pelo estilo e spor serem amigos dos Resindence, penso que sĆ£o uma das muitas bandas com influencias dos Mogwai e you will know us by the trail of the dead, e desse tipo de som
I have been looking for a CD of Russian Circles in Brussels, but could find one
I have most of Mogwai; Russian circles sounds a bit like a cross between Mogway and Tool
The Japanese group Mono is very good too

I love that post-rock sound. If you guys like Mogwai, Iād recommend a portuguese band called The allstar project
http://www.myspace.com/theallstarproject
I took the name of my blog (por um punhado de euros) from one of their songs. It sounds like a post-spaghetti-rock!
Sherps which album are you looking for? I could find it for you here in Portugal.
Two threads for this one, and merged they are.
Still my favourite non-Leone, even though Iāve only seen this twice.
High praise indeed. What about The Great Silence (my favourite non-Leone)?
The Great Silence is definitely top 10 material, but itās not my favourite Corbucci, I think I prefer Il mercenario and Companeros.
John I should send you a couple of copies of some great SWs since you do not seem to have a few yet. Which ones have you seen?
Not too many, Iām afraid.
Iāve only seen the following:
Black Jack
Blindman
Once Upon a Time in the West
Death Rides a Horse
Godās Gun
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
This Man Canāt Die!
The Great Silence
Challenge of McKenna
El Puro
A Fistful of Dollars
For a Few Dollars More
Sartana in the Valley of Death
Any Gun Can Play
