Just finished up watching it (again) on TCM. A favorite and love this line...

"If'n I ever get to likin' somebody, they ain't around long."

"I notice when you get to dislikin' somebody, they ain't around for long neither."

(may not be exact but it's close)

    When he first confronts the Comancheros, four of them ride out to meet him. The mood turns ugly and they go for their guns.

    Wales has a single shot rifle in his right hand, and he uses it to kill the first Comanchero. Immediately, he pulls his two big revolvers and goes to work on the other three. The rifle disappeared.

    Where did it go? He didn't have time to shove it into a saddle scabbard, and I doubt he would have dropped it on the ground.

    It's certainly entertaining enough that it can be watched time and again.

    Yes, an awesome flick. I watched it all the way through for the first time this evening. It made me want to go buy the DVD, one of the few Eastwood westerns that I don't own already.

    As I was watching it, I realized that Pale Rider may have been more accurately a sequel to Josie Wales than to the "Man with No Name" trilogy. At one point, Chief Ten Bears calls Josie the "Grey Rider". Also, at the end, Josie rides off into the sunset, and not necessarily back to the farm.

    The female lead was very cute too. Fair skinned and flat chested. She could have used more meat on her bones, but I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers.

    By the way - she was Eastwood's main squeeze, off camera, until the end of the movie,
    in '76, and remained his girlfriend for many years after. Clint lived with Sondra Locke
    from 1975 to 1989 ... We met and had dinner with them a few times after he was
    elected mayor of Carmel in '86.

    I thought it was a "so-so" movie.
    Starts out pretty good, but IMO gets pretty slow about 1/2 way thru.

    One of my top five favs. Some of the best quotes came out of that movie. Especially from the Chief.

    As an Iron Blooded Arkadian, I found the dialogue between Clint and the Blue-face-painted-indian to be very interesting.

    I'd never seen it all the way through before last night. I love that movie.

    With a three-year old girl and a 4-month old dog running around tha house, I still missd much of the dialog.
