Having shot six-guns since I was a child, I used to practice quick-draw for hours with an empty gun at home with pillows or a couch-cushion laid on the floor for mis-draw flubs! I also was very young when I would go to western movies, and I could catch most of them, including this one mainly more in the line of gun-movement. You pretty well run into a wall when flicking the gun; that is you can only move it so fast without overshoot, thus not being on target, especially the same time as the fan. After tens-of-thousands of both dry-fire and real range live-shooting, you just get a strange feeling that something is fishy or wrong. In fact, the last shot Clint takes, looks mis-aimed. That being said, I really think that most of the good shooting actors would have been good-enuff’ without the film speed-ups; because once you know it took place, you really lose respect- even if it was an overly zealous director/editor. Finally, hats-off to you for doing this video; great precision-work and analysis… 😊

Very interesting and accurate analysis of this iconic movie gunfight, as you say it would have been filmed multiple times, there are outtakes somewhere. As already said, the rig was by Andy Anderson, used in many of Clint’s westerns, I was inspired to make a copy, it is an excellent fast draw rig indeed.

My grand fathers uncles cousin told me that in cowboy films they never used blanks and just replaced the actors after they were gunned down.

Just stumbled on your videos. Great breakdown. I live in Carmel and Clint was the Grand Marshall in the Centennial Parade in 2016. He rode on a Wells Fargo stage wearing his hat from Unforgiven, the shirt from High Plains Drifter, the rough out boots, the famous Poncho from the trilogy and the Andy Anderson Walk and Draw holster from all his western's save, The Outlaw Josie Wales. I'm sixty five and grew up on his films. By the way the Andy Anderson holster was considered the first holster made for fast draw competition. Quite a bit different from the Arvo Ojala Buscadero rigs popular at the time.

Both as a style Shooter And an actual. Competition shooter. Just imagine a short slightly built. Black. Black Jewish running a 2 gun shut up. With one Eye. There are some things you just cannot make up. Someone catching on to something and showing their individuality and merit. That's why I like your channel.

I've heard some of that and some was new. Sounds like a great follow up winter video.

As a professional in motion picture industry and editor - I would like to point out something that might not be 100% accurate in our 'misfire' analysis. There is a very good chance that the filming did not capture all of the shots fired during the take. Motion picture is really just a series of still images captured one after the other. The camera shutter is closed just as much as it is 'open' to see the action. Normally 24 frames per second. I have seen MANY cases where a "muzzle flash" is too fast for the film to see it properly exposed to the film. Add in the fact, that they likely undercranked this take (likely 20 or 22 frames per second), so it would play slightly faster at the normal 24fps playback, you have even MORE time when the shutter would have been closed to 'see' all of the shots fired. Now - that does not prove that all the shots went off correctly. Could there have been a 'misfire' that was added back in audio post - sure... is it proof there was a misfire - certainly NOT. I'm just saying that you cannot use this as true measure of 'reality' - as the camera will often 'miss seeing' action on set. Editing helps smooth this out. - THX.

If you reduce the frame rate of the camera to 20 frames per second (as opposed to the regular 24) and play it back at 24, it makes the action look faster.

Quite some time ago I stumbled across your video where you re-create that scene. That was very interesting. And quite impressive. I own quite a few guns. But only one revolver. A Ruger GP100, stainless steel, 4 inch barrel. Double action of course. Has no firing pin on the hammer. Trigger has to be held down to engage the separate firing pin. So it's quite safe. Meaning I can drop it on the ground and nothing bad happens. For the longest time I would shoot it in what I call "target style shooting" Manual cock the hammer, then slowly pull the trigger. I don't do that style anymore. Now I shoot in what I call "combat style". No pre-cocking the hammer. The goal being, How fast can I shoot and still hit a target maybe 20 feet away. It's quite difficult. So what you were able to do in your re-creation of the scene is quite impressive. AND you did it with a single action!

I’m pretty sure Clint was careful to not actually aim his weapon at anybody, while making it look like he was aiming his weapon at each target. Yeah, I think he’s that good.

First shot is not seen but heard. Second shot is heard with smoke seen from barrel and the end of what appears to be final hand movement after fanning the hammer. Or maybe this was nothing but with the sound effect This implies a second shot to the mind even though we never actually saw the hand fan of hammer. Third shot is a clean misfire with no sound,no smoke, no flare. Fourth, fifth and sixth shots are valid shots. So im not exactly sure if they wanted it choreographed as 6 shots fired or 5 but it turned out ultra realistic due to the misfire! The end result is 6 shots attempted with one misfire so 5 actual shots fired into 4 bad guys.

The guy who went against the tree looked phony because the round he took drove him backwards then he took a 90° angle towards the tree. Hilarious! It's Hollywood and it made Clint a Legend!

The blanks made for spaghetti movies where notoriously bad quality, so maybe that one round didn't go off...Lee Van Cleef used to provide his own blanks to the movies he did !

Clint produces his own movies and does many of his own stunts. Nothing wrong with enhancing a movie for the viewers excitment. After all he has to recover the expense and if it wasn't a true spagetti type western it probably wouldn't have made the box office. He is also playing a character that must have lighting speed.

Movie making is hard though, to coordinated every one to fall on cue, do a good clean draw and then get the gun to run. Not easy cause I've tried it. Thanks for watching!

That's a great question. I depended on the actor but back in the 1950-60 many actors took pride in learning to at least draw a SAA fast and shoot a blank. It is a skill that take some time to accomplish. Often the actor had little skill so they would have him start with his hand on the gun and just pull it out then they would speed it up 20% and it looks good on film. Clint Eastwood was exceptionally good both with the fanning draw and the thumbing draw. Glen Ford and Sammy Davis were very good. Yul Brenner was one of the worst. Watch the scenes were he draws and you can see they were cut very tight and speed up to compensate.

Also if you look at the real slow-mo you can tell that his aim was not on any of his targets when he fired. Especially the last two.

I think your analysis is not quite right. It's a common problem when filming at 24 frames per second to miss the actual burst of flame when filming. A frame rate of 24 frames per second combined with a shutter open for 1/30 of a second, makes it quite common to miss the flame coming out of the barrel. So its not a misfire. It just the camera not synchronized to the bullet firing. I had this same problem as a young kid filming firecrackers on model cars. Most of the time the camera would not catch the actual burst of fire.

Had to film the same scene many times to catch the actual burst of flame.

I'll bet a large sum of money, Clint had no misfires.

Your comment prompted me to watch my video again. I know what your talking about the camera not catching the flash. I experience that regularly when doing my own videos. However, if you watch the clip there is also 0 smoke with that fan stroke. Missing the hammer is common when doing fanning. Clint Eastwood was the best movie fanner of all time IMO, but he wasn't perfect. There is a behind the scenes clip of him missing his draw grip and having to start over in this same scene. Thanks for watching and paying close attention. I could be wrong too.

I'll take another look. Obviously you could be right. It goes by so quick, and my screen is so small.

I watched several more times. I agree with you now. The lack of smoke is quite conclusive. Great analysis.

Yep in slow motion he never hit any of them.

Too bad you can't. Ha Ha.

Lies lies 🤔

Worst edit ever is in for a few dollars more when clint kills red crawling on the floor without looking. The aim is so far off . I always am amazed that they didn’t do a retake of that shot. Oh and hang em high when you see a pickup truck driving down the road behind when clint is hanging and gets cut down, bit thats not a gunfight problem😂

Agreed. That scene in A Few Dollars more was so cool until they had Clint Shoot without looking.

not just westerns are sped up. almost every movie does that where they want someone to look very skilled and or fast.
