Pale Rider

[Tommy Tainant]

Excellent movie. Do you think that it was based on Shane ?

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

Yup

 

[theHawk]

Not as good as High Plains Drifter.

 

[rightwinger]

Good Shane knockoff

Good cast without Brandon deWild constantly asking stupid questions

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

Not as good as High Plains Drifter.

Which was not as good as The Outlaw Josey Wales.

Harsh.

Unless you consider that every western was "based on Shane" it wasn't even close. Shane was a gunfighter trying to go straight on a hardscrabble farm. The Pale Rider character "Preacher" was a kind of mystical reincarnation based (loosely) on a Biblical prediction. Actually Pale Rider had almost the same plot as "High Plains Drifter".

Which had almost the same plot as "Shane". Same plot, different staging.

All Westerns were based on the same plot. High Noon, The Mag 7, most of Duke Wayne's stuff including the laughable similar plots of the Dean Martin drunk sheriff and the Robert Mitchum drunk sheriff. there is no reason to lump the quasi mystical Pale Rider with the Shane character (Alan Ladd was so short that they had to pose him on a box for some scenes) unless you want to.

Josey Wales is the best Eastwood flick...One of the best westerns ever....He got the participation prize for Unforgiven.

Clint is a Republican and a bad ass.

What happened at the end? Did Wales go back to the ranch or die or just drift away?

I think he just drifted away.

....Outlaw Josey Wales is kind of herky jerky--here-there-every where--also, too much idiotic bull's eye hits while on a horse that is jumping and running
....Clint Eastwood is like others--not really an actor, but a ''line sayer'' like Arnold S, Patrick Swayze, etc
