And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
ok, going to be a pedant here, "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" was set at the time of the US Civil War, 1861-65. The pistol Lee Van Cleef is holding is a Peacemaker, model of 1873, no, just no!
Very few movies are made where the director wants to deal with cap and ball pistols. Or counting the number of shots without reloading for that matter. What I liked about the movie Gettysburg was an deliberate scene of Chamberlain swapping an empty cylinder for a loaded one.

ReplyDeleteWTH are "ape hands"?
DeleteThat’s not ape hair on the hands, it’s age spots.
DeleteTo me it's sad to see the comparisons.
