Count


Gary Cooper, High Noon, 1952, Fred Zinnemann

I had a recent e-mail exchange about Old Spaghetti Western Movies and al the "pow-pow-youre-dead" scenes. In some scenes you can't keep up with the bodycount. This is of course great entertainment.

But glorifing violence (as an art) also makes me a bit philosophical (just a little bit, nothing else to do).

Here are some clips with all the "blam-blam" action in it;
- The Wild Buch (1969) – final shootout
- A John Woo compilation - from 2009
- Extreme Prejudice (1987) – final scenes
- Saviour of the Soul (1991) - prison escape

Enjoy
