Clint Eastwood Westerns / strap thingy

« on: April 23, 2004, 09:19:25 PM »

What is the thing Clint has on his right wrist in "A Few Dollars More"? I assume it has to do with horseback riding or gun slinging.

Clint Eastwood Westerns / Spaghetti Music

« on: April 23, 2004, 05:54:10 PM »

Figured I might as well put this here.

I found a web site that does remixes to video game themes. One game was called "Gunsmoke" after the TV show. There is a remix called Spaghetti Cowboy and The Smoking Gun of Liberty. It reminded me of Clint. Here is the site.

General Discussion / Clint-Knowingly or unknowningly-enters gaming industry

« on: April 12, 2004, 08:37:43 AM »

This might have been discussed before, but here it goes.

Most of this is describing the game. If you don't want the background info. scroll down to the   face. I am only describing to get you informed on how Clint plays a small part.

There is a game that has been on the market for a few years now called "Red Alert 2" Yuir's Revenge". It is an expansion to "Red Alert 2" where Albert Einstein travels back in time and kills Hitler so WWII and the Holocaust will never happen. But by doing this the Soviet Union rises up and invades Europe. They are stopped by the allies. The Romanovs, after a few years launch a surprise attack against the US. When the US tries to retalite, Yuri (A psychic soldier), mind-controls the US nuclear team and stops them from striking back. Well the game end, and Yuri's revenge begins. Yuri snuck out of the Krimlin and escaped. He controls a large number of people and takes over Alcatraz Island. There and all across the globe he constructs "Psychic Dominators", that when deployed will take over the world. The US travels back in time just before the "Dominators" become operational in an attempt to destroy it. Your second mission takes place in Hollywood.

  This is where Clint comes in. As you are battling Yuri's forces, you run across some actors such as Arnie Frankenfurter, Sammy Stalone, and Flint Westwood(Clint). Each has their own specality. EX: Arnie can take out armored units, Sammy can take out buildings, and Flint can take out infantry. They have their own little sayings when you click them. Arnie-"I'm gonna pump YOU up", Sammy-"EEEEEYYYYYOOOOOOOO", and Flint-"Running the Gauntlet".

Now since this is CLINT'S site I will just talk about him now. His sayings are, ".45 in the holster. Call me Harry. You're making my day. You're dead, punk." and "I make you turn every which way." Clint has two revolvers and kills infantry in one shot.

This might be a pointless entry but I laughed hard when I first saw "Flint". I'll try to get a screenshot of him later.

Clint Eastwood Westerns / Clint's Squint

« on: December 04, 2003, 07:18:55 PM »

I was watching GBU, again, when I noticed something. In the scene when he is telling Tuco that he is with Angel Eyes, Clint is not squinting, he is almost wide eyed. The next time you see him is outside telling Tuco "You wern't gonna die alone were ya?", then is squinting. When he played Rowdy Yates he never squinted when indoors, only he was outside on his horse or something. I came to the conclusion that Clint is sensitive to direct light.

Can anyone tell me if my guess is true?

General Discussion / Which movie would you see?

« on: September 01, 2003, 07:55:33 PM »

If you could see one Clint movie in an IMAX theatre what would it be?   I would like to see, as you can tell by my name, GBU.

If you don't know what an IMAX theatre is it is a theatre with the screen about 5 stories tall and 200 feet wide. It is HUGE!!!!! I think the world's largest.

General Discussion / War Movies

« on: July 31, 2003, 10:14:55 AM »

Was Clint in any war movies besides "Kelly's Heros"? By war I mean in the 20th century, because I know that "The Good, Bad, and the Ugly" was during the Civil War.

Collectors' Corner / Spaghetti Western Replicas

« on: July 31, 2003, 10:02:56 AM »

I'm looking for some clothing replicas that Clint wore during his Spaghetti Westerns. I'm just looking for a poncho and hat. I have been to spaghettiwesternreplicas.com but they are way out of my price range. Does anyone know of a site I can go to where the prices are a bit lower? Thank you!
