some old-time western actors in the poker game as well as some country music, the good run of bad luck song is by clint black he was the first young guy caught cheating, and the couple caught with guns was Waylon Jennings who sings the into song to Dukes of Hazzard, and Kathy Mattaha. Doug McClure from the Virginian, Dever Pyle the old man caught cheating AKA Uncle Jessie from Dukes of Hazzard. James Coulburn who played the commodore is a top actor from the 60's & 70's J saw him in one of the young gun movies. The kid gunfighter John Harding was a legit outlaw who killed his 1st man at 15, and killed one man just for snoring to loud. over 40 total. he was shot in the back of the head by John Sellmon SR in 1895 while playing cards.

I believe that early scenery is monument valley, as we go deeper into John wayne movies, the ones directed by John Ford, well john ford wrote the book on movies in monument valley only director i know of to win the oscar for best director 4 times. i can see a lot of that with the stagecoach was 100% inspired by the John Wayne movie Stage Coach. the dragging underneath and jumping on the horses.

except for the dates don't work since you see a 1873 colt single action [they did not make those until 1873] in both. for it to work the events of the TV should need to take place during the civil war. but in the spirt of things it works just like James bond as henry jones sr.

I really like this one. Really fun ride. I can't wait to watch this.

A Coffee and Cigarettes reaction would be... interesting to say the least.

Should there be an Alfred Molina poll? Aside from this, Ladyhawke, Raiders, and Spidey there's Magnolia, Identity, Dead Man, Boogie Nights...The Man Who Knew Too Little...Cabin Boy... 🤗

One could argue it's beyond Easter egg - and that the events of the TV show still "exist" from within the movie and Mel is simply Brett Jr and Gardner is still Brett from the show. So instead of being a remake the big twist is that the film is a sequel, of sorts. That's how I look at it anyway.

Maverick was a TV show back in the late 50's. James Garner(Cooper) played Bret in that show back in the day. So in this movie, he plays Mel Gibson's pappy as an easter egg!

Anyone know if there is an active Discord server for this channel? The link in YouTube doesn’t work…says the server doesn’t exist.

The Americanization of Emily is a wonderful, forgotten James Gardner gem!

Something else with James Gardner (fantastic actor!) that you would enjoy is My Fellow Americans. It is very similar in feel to Grumpy Old Men and even features Jack Lemmon. A perfect time to watch it too given that our political system - regardless of which side of the aisle you're on - is a bit of a sideshow right now. Another great James Gardner movie favorite of mine that is a bit more of a rom/com/drama is Murphy's Romance.
