Has anyone ever police called brass? First thing that came to mind when reading this.

I skipped this movie when it was in theaters but caught it on TV a couple years later and now whenever I run across it I always sit down and watch it. It's a great, fun movie.

I remember watching this film and here is what came to my mind when Horne died - the mightiest man may be slain by a single arrow; Boromir was pierced by many.

Principal photography on the film lasted 92 days, from May 18 to August 18, 2015, in the north of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Other locations include St. Francisville; Zachary, Louisiana; Jackson, Louisiana: Ridgway, Colorado; and New Mexico. Filming in St. Francisville was completed between May 18 and May 29, 2015.

When he ate the deer, it was the heart. And Goodnight is suffering from PTSD from the Civil War. Always thought that was an interesting detail in this movie because we have no documentation of it prior to WW1, but it most certainly affected the veteran of both sides. Also, to answer your question, you can't reload the bullets, but you CAN reload the brass. It's a common practice in the firearm community with guys who shoot a lot. It's a good way to save money. I don't know about the time period, if you could do it then, though.

Maybe he only choose to do those Hollywood films & has choosen not to do others. Not every actor wants to be Leonardo DiCrapio or Chris Pratt & have problems walking down the street or eating dinner with family & having to be rushed out from fans or stalkers. Some people are happy playing second fiddle without having to be famous or the cons that that brings. The movie I remember him best in was Red 2 with Bruce Willis. BTW did you know the ordeal he had to go through being famous in South Korea let alone international fame would do? Blackmailed extorted etc etc I could see why he might not want to be as famous as Bruce Willis or Chris Pratt.

"The Magnificent Seven" from 1960 will always be my favourite of the three. If not for anything else, then simply for the reason you gave with your Backstreet Boys example: nostalgia. The 1960 version was the first I ever saw. And just like with basically everything else: your first time will always be special to you. Goes for movies, music, books,...

Then Yojimbo had a sequel, Sanjuro, which got remade into The Man With No Name

Fun trivia fact: Haley Bennett played the girl who was strangled in The Equalizer, with Denzel. Antoine Fuqua directed that, as well as Training Day, which stared Denzel and Ethan Hawke. Hawke also stared in Fuqua's other crooked cop drama Brooklyn's Finest with Vincnet D'Onfrio who played Jack Horne in this Magnificent Seven, which is also directed by.... Antoine Fuqua.

Goodnight's whole deal is he thinks that because he did so much evil in the war, he's being hunted by something. That's what he meant when he told Billy he heard 'the voice'. He meant he heard whatever he thought was hunting him. It was all in his head, sadly. The poor man had severe PTSD.

This was the last project renowed Film Composer James Horner (Titanic, Avatar) worked on. From what I've heard, he convinved Director Antoine Fuqua to make the film and then wrote a Suite of Themes which he indended to present Fuqua as a gift. Soon after, Horner died in a plane crash. His team, led by fellow Composer and Friend Simon Franglen proceeded to complete the Score using Horners' Themes.

There's nothing wrong with liking a newer version of something, it's just good to know how much of it already existed before they started. It's easier to improve on something that's been around for a few decades than to invent something that good wholecloth. And it's good that you see them in the order they were made because that way you get the most enjoyment out of each experience. Doing it the other way might feel like homework to you.

You missed one movie. Actually, it was an anime mini-series called Samurai 7. It is one of my favorite mini-series that came out between the two Magnificent Seven movies.

My favorite is the one you didn't do (though i understand why). Samurai 7 is an anime version of the story and is broken up into 25 episodes. The sheer length allows for more character development. It is set in a fantasy world that combines feudal Japan with an odd mix of modern sensibility and a steampunk mix. Even if you don't watch it for the channel, you should see it on your own.

I love that a character is named Red Harvest! Dashiel Hammet's novel "Red Harvest" is said to be part of the inspiration for Kurasawa's "Yojimbo", which in turn inspired "Fistful of Dollars"-- more of the same merry-go-round of cultural exchange between East and West

An underrated western movie is Silverado. It stars a young Kevin Costner, Danny Glover, Kevin Kline, Scott Glen and many other great actors. A worthwhile movie to watch.

Of all the AMAZING actors in this cast, they killed off one of the best in the first ten minutes - Matt Bomer. I'd love to have seen more of him in this. He played the lead from the series White Collar back in the 2000's, you should check it out sometime. You'll love it!

You just don't get to know the townspeople like you do in the first two (something you said you missed in the first Magnificent Seven compared to Seven Samurai, there's even less here). You don't have the times between attacks where the comraderie between the townspeople and the seven grows. They show up, they do some training, and then it's just one long fight. The first two have more depth and a lot more character.

Cassie, In answer to your question.. no you can't just go collect bullets and put them back into a gun. Way back in the beginnings of our countries, when they used musket balls.. maybe, but "modern" ammo is a cartridge.. that cartridge has separate sections. The casing, which contains the Primer and the gun powder and then the bullet, which is the actual projectile. When the hammer (or firing pin) of the gun hits the Primer, it ignites the gun powder, which then causes the bullet to shoot. The casing either stays in the gun or is ejected out to one side. The bullet is the projectile and it is usually disfigured once shot. Bullets can be melted down and put into a fresh casing but you can't just pick them up and reuse them.

SILVERADO, absolutely, but Three Amigos never did it for me. I know, I'm in the minority here.

There were 4 movies prior to this. The Guns of the Magnificent seven, and The magnificent seven ride, were numbers three and four.

1) I also love Backstreet boys 2) I absolutely love this movie, I feel like all characters did a great job. I get ppl sometimes dont like remakes but I think this one was great.

This is by no means a bad movie, but I just don't think it measures up to the first two. I think they changed some key elements to appeal more to modern audiences, and that this cost it the timeless quality the other two have. The most obvious change was the villain. Instead of being a criminal that the law could not protect against, they made him a businessman the law actively protected. Yeah, he is despicable, but he is also ridiculous. For comparison, the plot here is almost identical to a Clint Eastwood western called Pale Rider; a big-time gold miner wants to force people off their land. The difference is that Pale Rider did it well. The villain was trying to crush the people's spirit and convince them to leave, but also keeping it low-key to avoid attracting unwanted attention. Here, everything is too over-the-top. Building an army, bring a gatling gun, using slave labor in his mine, attacking an entire town; even during the wild west, this guy would have been shut down by the authorities for all he did. But they wanted to make the opposition overwhelming to make the odds more extreme, and I think it is just too much to take very seriously. This change in the villain also ties into another change that I don't think is as good; the hero's motivation. In Seven Samurai and the first Magnificent Seven, the film's lead stepped in to help because he felt for the people. As Yul Brynner's Chris put it "I've been offered a lot for my work, but never everything." This line is in the remake as well, but that is not why Denzel's character took the job. For him, it was about personal vengeance. And I think that is because they didn't think modern audiences would really get the idea of accepting a contract and refusing to abandon it even when things look bad. This resulted in missing a key theme from the first two; the warriors envying the peaceful lives of the people they protect. Among the last lines in the first two was about how "Only the farmers won." Because the townspeople would find peace, but the warriors just had to move on to the next battle. Instead, this film ends with how "magnificent" the warriors were, completely missing that theme of being trapped in a life of violence that is viewed by others with misplaced glory. A great example of this is a comparison between the Robert Vaughn and Ethan Hawke character. I think Ethan Hawke actually did a better job with his performance; Robert Vaughn kind of over-acted in his night terrors scene. But the thing is, Robert Vaughn's trauma was brought on by the life of a gun for hire; he had made enemies and had to constantly be on the run from them. It was the very life that the villagers were glorifying that had ruined him. Ethan Hawke's character, on the other hand, had PTSD from fighting in the war. PTSD is a more topical problem to have, especially these days. But it lacks the same thematic impact to the story that was brought by Robert Vaughn's character. Finally, I think the humor is much more low brow. A perfect example of this is Chris Pratt's character compared to Steve McQueen's. In the first Magnificent Seven, Steve McQueen brought a lot of humor and charm to the role, but he was subtle about it. Take the "So far, so good" line. That was just one of many little stories or antecedents McQueen's character dropped, some being non-verbal like the scene where the woman was serving them their dinner, and the audience often had to pay attention to catch them all. When it was done, it moved on. Here, most of the jokes had to be set up and hammered home. The "So far, so good" line had to be constantly brought up in order to make sure people got it. It just felt dumbed down and forced to me. Again, this is a really good movie, and the cast is excellent. I just don't see it being a classic like the first two.

Great analysis, although you give this film too much credit. Beside the cast, this is a terrible film. The characterizations, dialogue and over the top violence put it in the dumpster. It looks even worse compared to the legendary SS and the excellent 1960 MS.

There was also a series 98-2000 staring Michael biehn, reese from original Terminator. I believe the pilot was a stand alone movie if i remember right it was pretty decent, first of the seven stories i ever saw.

13 assassins is another good movie in this genre. Youve already seen the original seven samurai. You'll like that one.

Re Cassie's question about bullets - no, you can't reuse the bullet once you have fired it. 1) it will probably be far too far away to find or stuck in something. 2) the precisely shaped lead will be distorted and thus not useful even if you can find it again. However, the brass cartridge that holds the propellant powder and the bullet can be reused if you have the right equipment. It would not however be readily available in this time-period, so ammunition is essentially one-use.

If found, the lead can be melted and recast, then used with the reloading equipment above. If you ever watch "Quigley Down Under," they make mention of this process.

This was easily the most entertaining, but 7 Samurai was a greater experience. The '13th Warrior' feels a lot like these movies -love it the most

It's tricky. There are differences in the acting styles from the '60s and today ... And there are different sensibilities in acting styles with foreign films, so it is very hard to compare these three versions on equal ground. To me to Toshiro Mifune's acting seemed very overblown, but I bet it didn't play that way in Japan at the time. Even with this, of the three i think i liked Seven Samurai best, followed by the Magnificent Seven (1960), then this (even though, i too liked the widow character here). ... To be honest, however, my favorite telling of this story is the Three Amigos (1986). You can't get better than Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short fighting bandits in old Mexico!

I think that Mifune's acting was deliberately overblown. We were supposed to see him as a buffoon, especially compared to the other characters; that way his later heroism has more of an impact.

Japanese cinema can be very melodramatic, as it's emphasising the drama. I've only watched the first few minutes of this, (haven't seen the full film) and I am eye rolling hard at how OTT the bad guys are, wandering into town screaming and randomly killing people. Says to me the director doesn't think much of the audience, or maybe it's social commentary that people in the US don't see shooting the odd person and bad enough, you need to shoot several people and axe a woman. 🤔

@@Cheepchipsable lol ... Usually the bad guys just kill a dog... Then you know they're bad guys. But honestly I agree there seems to be a great many movies written that don't take the time to create conflict between protagonist and antagonist ... They just make a cartoon villain and assume everyone will be satisfied with that.

My favorite part is when she compares bullets to golf balls on a field, because I play golf myself. 😉

As always, thanks again Cassie, for another Great Movie Night 🙏

Should do 'Three Amigos' now 😆

sadly this was not filmed in Alberta, one that was is Clint Eastwood's 'Unforgiven" Academy award winner. Two more filmed in Alberta that won academy awards are " Legends of Fall" (Brad Pitt) and "Revenant" ( DiCaprio). Maybe you should make a series of these.

I feel like this one is the most "style over substance" version of the story. It's a great, entertaining, popcorn flick, but it fumbles on portraying the themes that both 7 Samurai and the original The Magnificent Seven were built around, and the final line of the movie is where it really trips on that. This one leaves out the whole classism issue where the heroes' are part of the system that caused the situation in the first place, which is why they can't really say they won in the end, but that the villagers that get to now live in peace did, and since it left that out of the text, the final line is buying into the "magnificence" of being a person that lives by violence and can only live by violence, where the original story was saying the exact opposite.

It feels like movies of the past were willing to generate controversial discussion and now everything has to be black and white. To be fair, I do understand that a movie with a villain that's a victim of a system wouldn't play well today. And the flipside here is that we have a villain who's a bully and when he's stripped of his power, what we're left with is a trembling weasel, which for me is always satisfying to watch.

What’s great about The Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven is it’s a story that can be told over and over again without losing any of its appeal. As long as some humans choose to take advantage of those who can’t protect themselves, this story will resonate in the human soul.

He was also the BUG in MIB ( MEN IN BLACK ) 😊👍

A Bug’s Life is this same story, but filtered through Three Amigos. That movie was a parody of The Magnificent Seven, where the hired champions were performers who thought it was an acting gig. A Bug’s Life used this same twist on the formula.

I normally don't like remakes. But anything with Denzel is going to be good. The original Magnificent Seven is in my top 5 of all-time movies. And I thought this one was fantastic.

In Spanish , Guero or wero it's a term of endearment for someone younger like a kid that is light skinned or fair haired. Vasquez calling Faraday that was like a younger brother . Thats why he was pissed when Faraday got shot and kept shooting the bad guy

The one we will truly miss is the soundtrack composer James Horner. The man wrote the music score for the film before his death in a tragic plane crash during the summer they were filming the movie a year before its release. His legacy was passed on to Simon Franglen who took his place at the sound recording studios conducting the orchestra for him. We will all miss you Horner. Love your music. 🥺 May he rest in peace (1953 - 2015) 🕊️ His spirit animal is a whale 🐋

20:55 To answer your question: In a way, yes. Most western era bullets are made of pure lead, so you could easily just pick up the bullets in the ground or in bullet traps (usually small lines of dirt or sand), melt them back down and reform projectiles with them. However, you would still need to have black powder and in some cases, a casing with a primer of the appropriate caliber in order to reload (or re-assemble, if you will) the entire cartridge. A lot of western era guns didn't use brass casings, the powder and the bullet was put directly into the gun, and would use a percussion cap to set off the charge. However, it's impossible to just pick up bullets and put them back into the gun directly, as lead projectiles deform very easily, so you would most likely recover them mushroomed, bent or deformed. TL;DR: Technically yes, but usually no.

Movie was OK but I prefer the 1960 version more.

Love the idea of watching originals and remakes. In addition to Sabrina and 3:10 to Yuma, there’s also The Shop Around the Corner/The Good Old Summertime/You’ve Got Mail and Love Affair/An Affair to Remember/Love Affair, Here Comes Mr. Jordan/Heaven Can Wait. I won’t recommend West Side Story due to all the editing required for the music, but there’s also True Grit OG and remake!

Don't forget the original Departed movie, Infernal Affairs....

When you fire a round, the primer detonates a powder charge (expending both) and propels the bullet downrange. You can recover the brass (which was ejected after the round was fired) and the lead bullet, for reuse, though you will need a fresh primer and more gunpowder.
