That line should make AFI's Top 100 movie quotes.

Still one of Clint's BEST movies, mostly due to the simplistic story of revenge, but also the WONDERFUL characters and the fact that the Native Americans in the movie were played by actual Native Americans that were THRILLED by the way they were being represented in the movie. In fact, a lot of Native American groups PRAISED not only the use of actors, but the way their characters were being "realistic" more than "romanticized". And one of the most impressive scenes with an actor that had the SHORTEST amount of time on scene with "Ten Bears". And the way their conversation boils down to "We have lost too much and had so much taken away from both of us due to war. Can't you and I hold onto this little bit of piece we have left to us?"

Good lines, especially "Get ready little lady. Hell is coming to breakfast". To offer a correction, Ten Bears says "double tongues", not devil tongues. The Indians were accustomed to promises by the government that were later broken. Its why Ten Bears said, "There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, so there is iron in your words of life", because Josey was willing to put his own life at risk to convince Ten Bears of his intentions. Josey was honoring what he promised with his life and Ten Bears had respect for that, because he would do the same. As he said, "The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death". "It shall be life". Hands down, this is the best Western I have ever seen.

The salesman was called "Mr. Carpetbagger" by Josey. This was a common and derisive name for Northerners who showed up after the war with big schemes to sell things (often scams and snake oil) to the already-impoverished South. The name "carpetbagger" was a mockery of the kind of person who would carry all their belongings, not in a suitcase, but in an easy, open-topped bag made of the same thick fabric that carpet was made of. Just the kind of thing you'd carry if you had to get out of town quickly when your scheme fell apart.

“Pay me when ya see me Josey Wales” is one of my favorite movie lines of all time.

Dawn, "Dixie" was a nickname and a song associated with the South, especially during the Civil War. "Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton, Old times there are not forgotten, look away, look away, look away, Dixieland." In several movies, you might hear it played on a wooden flute or recorder. It was popular around the time of the beginning of the Civil War and was written by Daniel Decatur Emmett in 1859 and was eventually adopted by the Confederacy as it's anthem. Always a barrel of fun watching your reactions!

If you notice, he is carrying either four or five pistols. The development of cartridge rounds doesn't occur until after the Civil War in the 1870s.

Josey carries the two .44's and a smaller .32. After Jamie dies, Josey carries his pistol as well. That's why he has 4 guns at the final fight at the cabin. But yes, they were cap and ball revolvers. Each chamber had to have powder poured in, a ball placed in and pressed down. Then it took a type of grease over the whole thing to keep it waterproofed; and to protect from sparks igniting other shots when firing. THEN each chamber had to have a percussion cap placed over a nipple on the back of the cylinder. Reloading was NOT the easiest process.

In the late 18th century, while we were still a colony, two Land Surveyors, Mason and Dixon, surveyed and defined the south border of Pennsylvania, eventually continuing westerly, along the south boundary of the territory which eventually became Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. 80 years later, this line became part of the boundary of the northern and southern states in our Civil War. Charles Dixon was referred to as "Dixie" in the song.

The dialogue with Ten Bears is fantastic. I go back to watch just that part a couple of times a year. The old shop lady character is great too, "you can pay me when you see me, Josey Wales'.

“All I have is a piece of hard rock candy. But it’s not for eatin.. it’s just for.. lookin through”. Love that line.

The part of Ten Bears is played by Will Sampson, a member of the Muscogee tribe. The Muscogee were part of group of Indians that made up the Trail of Tears. He also appeared in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, a film classic from the 60s.

Interesting since the concept of Blood Brothers and the cutting of hands etc was an invention by German writer Karl May The concept of “Blood Brothers” coming from a Native American culture hinges on a faulty premise. The belief that “blood” equals belonging and relationship. This is not the case in most Native cultures. It certainly isn’t part of the Numunu (Comanche) culture , where two men become brothers by having had sex with the same woman. 19th century Europeans were obsessed with the idea of blood, blood purity, tainted blood etc, so Karl May reached back into the European tradition of “blood brothers” and attributed it to Native Americans where it remains fixed in the popular imagination to this day. This is common with many misconceptions about Native American peoples, they are usually a projection of European values/fears/fantasies.

This is my favorite Eastwood film. Thanks for doing it, Dawn. Before and during the civil war, the US states of Missouri and Kansas were involved in what was known as a border war. They shared a border and Missouri went for the South and Kansas for the North. The "redlegs" were from Kansas and routinely invaded and ravaged citizens in Missouri and vice versa. This was a perfect example of the victors writing the history books. Those from Kansas were heroes and those from Missouri were outlaws if they didn't pledge allegience to the United States (the North).

Not entirely accurate. Missouri was a border state during the war, meaning they didn't secede from the Union. They were not "for the South" and the state was at war within itself as a result since they were in the Union, but maintained slavery.

My late father's very favorite move. There is so many things going on it's hard to comment on all of them at one time. Josie was short for Joseph, but it became so popular it was used as a proper name. During the Civil War Missouri was a boarder state, so you never knew what troops could come around, plus there was more guerilla fighting with smaller groups of soldiers and militia, both sides were just as violent. The 'Red Legs' were with the Union and were named for the red colored slacks they wore instead of the blue official uniform of the North. Josie only picked fighting for the South because of what the northern 'Red Legs' did to his family.

While this movie is clearly fiction, Josie's situation is PRECISELY why most of the Confederate soldiers were fighting. Yankee troops would burn towns and crops, rape local women, and murder just about any Southern civilian that they could. Lincoln knew about that, too, but he was hellbent on not having the Union dissolve on his watch, so he turned a blind eye to it. Confederate soldiers were fighting to protect homes and families, the issues of the governments were of little concern to them.

Dawn thank you for doing classics, like Cassablanca, Rear Window, and Westerns...Joesy Wales was one of the earlier movies he starred and directed. Awesome.

Just realized that .. and _Poltergeist II_ as well.

Dawn - some quick background - in the run up to the American Civil War, there was "Bloody Kansas," a series of assaults, murders, raids and counter-raids that took place along the frontier between Missouri and the proposed state of Kansas. The the bloody back-and-forth between armed groups of irregulars was centered on the question as to whether Kansas would join the US as a free, anti-slavery state or a slave state. It was a nasty prelude to the coming war. Josey's family is murdered in such a raid so he joined a group of raiders that ultimately fought as an irregular cavalry unit for the Confederacy. Now, the war is over. The South lost and Josey has no family or home to return. Like other real life men in his position, he became an outlaw, refusing to surrender and carrying on his own personal war. The story is his journey to another discovering another life and a second chance after loosing everything he cared about.

One big issue in your story is that "Joining the US" had nothing to do with slavery. Missouri was a border state. They did not secede from the Union and were always a part of the U.S. even though they still had slavery, just like Kentucky, Marlyand, and Delaware. Lincoln didn't give 2 shits about slavery as proof by the Emancipation only freeing slaves in "States in open rebellion".

He also narrated the P.B.S. series "Images Of Indians"...and was in the 70's series Vegas as Harlin Two Leaf with Robert Urich. Many of his award winning paintings hang in famous museums like the Smithsonian. R.I.P. dear Sonny.

Oh, the Outlaw.. One of the greatest films of legend Clint Eastwood.

Dixieland is the South. Elvis sings a great rendition of Dixie in his An American Trilogy song. Dixie was written by a Northerner who supported the Union army, so he regretted writing it when it became popular among Confederate soldiers.

Making hair braids was pretty common then. A lady I know purchased a beautify picture frame with a huge intricate braid of hair in it. She only wanted the frame. She went to take the braid out and reframe it and saw a letter in the matting from a drummer boy to his mother. He was only 12 and died from illness coming back from the end of the Civil War.

Oh my God... My favorite movie of all time. It's happening. Where's my popcorn?

Wonderful selection, Dawn. Loved this watchalong with you as usual. I hope this means we're that much closer to Clint's Pale Rider.

The "Red Legs" was a paramilitary group of about a hundred men during the Civil War wearing red gaiters that served as scouts during the punitive expedition of the Union troops in Missouri. They were accused by contemporaries of spreading atrocities and destruction.

The blonde woman who you said was too young for Josie was played by actress Sandra Locke. She was Clint's girlfriend during the 70s and appeared in a few of his movies. One that comes to mind off the top of my head was 'The Gauntlet'. He plays a cop in that one and has to try to get her safely to a courthouse to testify against a crooked police commissioner. Might want to check that one out.

Thank you, Dawn! Been dying for someone to react to this movie FOREVER! You might try Hannie Caulder from 1972 for a female bounty hunter/gunslinger.

The other western with a strong female character is the quick and the dead.

You need to watch The Quick and the Dead staring Sharon Stone if you want to watch a Western with a lead female gunslinger. It's got Gene Hackman and Russell Crowe too.

WOW The Outlaw Josey Wales starring by Clint Eastwood thank you thank you so much Dawn Marie🙂🙂👍👍👍

Excellent movie, Excellent reaction! So glad you reacted to this one. Hearing your thoughts on doing a 3 movie rotation of Clint Eastwood, John Wayne, and a random movie gets a HUGE YES from me! I would love that!

Love your style, attitude, reactions and your giggle!

The spitting, especially just before gunfights, is Josey's way of showing that he has no fear. He can spit because his mouth is not dry.

A fun game to play is counting how many people Clint kills in this movie; it's a lot, so if you want to turn it into a drinking game, maybe use water.

Cheif Dan George (Lone Watie) was a real Renaissance Man. Author, actor, poet, musician, activist, and leader of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation. Real gentleman with a wiry wit. My Dad long ago had the honor of meeting him at a "pow wow" of sorts. He said it was like meeting a grandfather he never new he had, and he cherished that memory.

Chief Dan George was brilliant in this. I always just want to give him a big hug.

Dawn Marie, you were surprised that Josie was the name for a man. You might be surprised too that the actor John Wayne was born with the name Marion Robert Morrison. Thanks for your reaction to this movie. I appreciate the humour that the actor Chief Dan George delivered in his character. Chief Dan George was also in the Western, 'Little Big Man' (1970).

Dixieland was the song they used as the anthem for the Confederacy (South) during the American Civil War.

I see Bill McKinney (the "Redleg") and it makes me think that Deliverance (1972) would make an AWESOME reaction video! He has a KEY role in that film, LOL. I think you would be fascinated and awed it.

"Red Legs" was the name given to the Union troops from Kansas who wore red gaiters on their lower legs. For awhile before the Civil War even started, there was an undeclared war between those in Kansas and Missouri, raiding each other. Civilians would regularly get caught up in the violence, and the "Red Legs" got a reputation, in MIssouri, for such brutality and were often despised. Some nasty back & forth. As a good example of the mentality, the leading Union general (Lyon) in MIssouri, when the war actually started, was told by the state governer that Missouri would be neutral and didn't want to fight in the civil war. General Lyon told him, "I would rather see every man, woman, and child in MIssouri dead!" General Lyon had been a "Red Leg" before the war.

@tackle47

Lyon was not a “Red Leg” he was regular US Army and not a Kansan. Red Legs were Kansas volunteers especially associated with Senator Jim Lane. They caused so much devastation in Western Missouri that the Union General in Missouri had them banned from the State. Their attacks on civilians and towns were forcing many Missourians in the western part of the state join Guerrillas. William Quantrill and Bloody Bill Anderson’s ranks grew from that hatred. Josef in this movie is the story of them men. Note their is still bad blood between Kansas and Missouri. As the University of Kansas wears the colors of the Union and only wears red stockings in football when playing the University of Missouri.

Chief Dan George had all the best lines.

Sondra Locke, who played Laura Lee, was 32 years old for "the Outlaw Josie Wales". She is just a young looking person. She was with Clint Eastwood from 1975 to 1989. She died in 2018.

One the best lines in an action movie when Josie explains it to the bounty hunter - "Dying ain't much of living, boy."

This movie moved into my favorite position, narrowly edging out Jerimiah Johnson a couple of decades ago. Wales is a fantastic blend of real historical characters mythological heroes western heroes, and like a good song, the story has had different meaning for me over the decades. Really liked your review. Take care.

Dying' Ain't Much of a Living Boy" is probably the most powerful line ever spoken in a western film.

The song "Dixieland" was one of the anthems for the confederate states of the south in the Civil War. People often whistled it and the term whistle Dixie is a term for daydreaming or fantasize because the southern states could only hope to win the war. It's also a catchy tune and people often whistle it while doing busy work while daydreaming

one of my top two fav westerns, love it. Great reaction.

Chief Dan George, the old native guy was an awesome actor and artist. I recommend to check out Little Big Man - an epic western comedy/drama where you can get more George. Illegally underrated movie starring Dustin Hoffman. edit.looks like many had the same idea :D

I swear, it's so cold outside its freezing my heart, thanks for warming me up kid!

In the bar scene when you mentioned kicking him out for spitting on the floor. When he spit, he actually spit into a spittoon. It was a brass, vase-like container that sat on the floor. When he spit, you could hear the metal sound when it hits.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for reviewing this movie. One of my all time favorites!!

I am excited that you chose this film. It's an all time favorite of mine.

"Dixie" was a song sung by those in the South during the Civil War. The North sang "Battle Hymn of the Republic". Chief Dan George was chief of a Canadian tribe. He passed away in 1981 at the age of 82. Loved him in this movie. Whistle the tune "Dixie". Granny gets on my last nerve.

The little boy helping him in the field in the beginning is clint eastwoods real life son.

Thank you for this movie… one of my favorite westerns and Eastwood films. Two suggestions: Once Upon a Time in the West with Henry Fonda and Charles Bronson, and Cat Ballou with Lee Marvin

The first part of the movie covers the Civil War in Missouri, a civil war within a civil war in my home state. An interesting and more accurate movie on the topic is "Ride with the Devil" starring a long haired Tobey Maguire just before his Spiderman role. Also Jewell and both do a surprisingly good job.

I agree. Most people don't know that these movies are based on books which can be considered historical fiction.

18:47 Whistle Dixie. He means whistle the Dixieland song you was asking about earlier in the movie. Which was the official song of the South during the Civil War days. In other words, he's asking those northern Union soldiers if they're going to draw their guns, or cower down and start singing the song of the south, their enemies.

One of my favorites. Love that there are still people that appreciate this one. Best actor playing a Cowboy in my opinion. Pale Rider, Unforgiven and so many more.

Excellent film. Eastwood's best in my opinion. Plus the wonderful Chief Dan George, such an asset to this movie.
