That's cool, mike!
As you know, they made those movies very realistically, and in fact, if you remember the scene
at the tiny Park Emergency Hospital (since closed, right next to Kezar Stadium (also gone/rebuilt),
the doctor in the movie was a real doctor who actually worked there, and in fact treated me once
when I needed stitches...we lived 5 blocks away (my mom still does).

or fattrad, just for laughs we could say:
I dispensed with justice on the streets of L A that's why I'm...etc
anyway.. as a huge fan of good westerns, I can highly recommend 3:10 to Yuma out now. http://www.310toyumathefilm.com/ very much in the Eastwood style (except nobody can do it like Clint)

"My favorite is when the carpetbagger is trying to sell josey whales a cure-all elixer, and josey spits tabaco juice on his white suit and ask "how's it for stains?"'
Jeeze, I forgot that part. Like I was saying, wonder who made the (hilarious) executive decision to have the star (Josie Wales) repeatedly spit on dogs and mankind throughout the movie. Damn was that shite funny when you say Clint's deadpan after the spitting came down.

Another hilarious scene I just remembered - from Eiger Sanction, where he abandons the Nancy Boy and his rat dog in the middle of the desert. Remember that one?? I can't recdall his dialogue in this scene but you just know it was the laconic gold he always mined.

Actually that was one of the best parts of the novel. Trevanian goes into detail about what nancy boy did to the dog trying to survive,..

Actually, Clints dialog in the final scene with Miles was pretty short (and to the point).
"Kill me, but don't leave me here". Classic line.
There's a website where someone has transcribed all the dialog from the film...too funny...
-Brian in SLC
He hit his brakes. - No, he didn't.
He turned the switch on his headlights.
Jonathan, what a cheap, dirty trick.
After him, Dewayne. After him!
We've got him now. Look!
We've got him trapped. He can't turn around.
Where the hell is he?
There he is!
You are an animal.
Look at that dear gentleman.
You tried to kill me.
Get in the car.
Get in the car.
Get out.
What the hell are we gonna do out here?
Get out.
Jonathan, you're not gonna shoot...
Jonathan, you're not gonna leave me out here!
Jonathan, for Christ's sakes!
Kill me, but don't leave me here!
You can't...
Pretty quiet now, aren't you, you little prick?
Jonathan!

I believe Trevanian always had pretty tongue in cheek names in his books. I don't think it ever comes out in the movie, but in the Eiger Sanction book, Dragon's full name is Yerassis Dragon. That always cracked me up.
re: 3:10 to Yuma
I didn't care much for this one. I liked the way they portrayed the relationship between Christian Bale's character and Russell Crowe's, but the thing had more holes than a sponge. They're sitting in the hotel room, hopelessly outnumbered, knowing all the guys on horses twenty feet away are basicaly going to try to kill them. And they just sit there chatting with them...they could have killed three or four of the bad guys before they could've taken cover, easily. That's just one of a few annoyingly laid out deals in the movie. Just my opinion.

Thanks Nita. Very cool. I guess I am showing my age. I see you're in Chico. I pretended to attend Chico State in the early 70's. I got an education, but it wasn't acedemic! How's Biddwell Park these days? Houses right up in there I suppose. Lots of good memories. I have a friend who was a popular rock/Folk singer back in the day, Jesse Colin Young, who used to play the theater there often. A great place to party. I hear the athorities have cracked down on things these days. Thanks again for the Raw Hide flash back.

Clint sang the theme song for Rawhide.
He has delivered lines that have become culture.
Mr. Eastwood is also one of the best storytellers of our time,
check this partial lest of films he has directed:
Letters from Iwo Jima (2006)
Flags of Our Fathers (2006)
Million Dollar Baby (2004)
Mystic River (2003)
Space Cowboys (2000)
True Crime (1999)
Absolute Power (1997)
The Bridges of Madison County (1995)
A Perfect World (1993)
Unforgiven (1992)
The Rookie (1990)
White Hunter Black Heart (1990)
Bird (1988)
Heartbreak Ridge (1986)
Pale Rider (1985)
Sudden Impact (1983)
Honkytonk Man (1982)
Firefox (1982)
Bronco Billy (1980)
And... he is good to the people that work for him,
When he went to Texas to film A Perfect World (wonderful flick by the way)he wanted Tony's catering known for great food... Tony didn't do out of town catering... Mr Eastwood made a personal visit to ask him to cater his shoot in Texas, Tony said yes.
pretty cool.
or, they had a scene to shoot with a trailer over rough ground, hard to get the camera car and the trailer to match speeds, Dave Garber thought of welding 4 x 4 tube as an outboard strut to tow the trailer beside the camera car, it had never been done before, Clint had one question, and a lot of confidence in his good people "Do you think it will work?" Yes sir, OK then lets do it"
also cool.

Clint also made a lasting friendship with Mike Hoover who filmed the Eiger Sanction. Years later they were Hili-skiing together with, Wells,and Bev Johnson (then Mike's wife).
Clint had to cut his trip short and left the others to keep skiing,
The next day the helicopter crashed killing Mr. Wells, Bev Johnson, the pilot, and left Mike Hoover near dead.
Clint Eastwood escaped the crash by one day.

That part of the movie did not compute IMO. Under the circumstance of not trusting the rescuer Clint had a much better option. Put a prussick loop on the rope he was hanging from and clip the thrown rope through it, after tieing in of course. Take the rope as it runs back to the rescuer and set up to do a crotch rappel with it. Rescuer will just feed rope. Then cut the rope he is hanging from - at the tie in loop. Leave the knot to hedge against slippage of the prussick. Then he rappels down(no big fall at all) till his weight can go onto the rescuer. If the rescuer gets him in to the wall but then does not hunt he can climb up with his rappel rig as a back-up.
To protect against falling out and not being able to get back in( a real problem if by now the rescuer has declared) set a piece as soon as he gets to the wall and clip one of the rappel lines through it.
