Just Westerns - The Unofficial Home of Westerns on RU-vid 🌵
Hey, I am Marc Reynard, a writer and lifelong fan of Westerns. So when I realised that pretty much nobody was making videos about the genre on RU-vid, I started Just Westerns...
Ever since then, the response has been amazing, proving that there are still lots of Western fans out there, especially at the moment, with the genre experiencing a big comeback!
So regardless of whether you grew up on High Noon and A Fistful Of Dollars or Django Unchained and Red Dead Redemption, everybody is welcome here, with new videos posted regularly about westerns, both new and old.
So please do consider being my huckleberry by subscribing and thanks for watching! ✌️
To me, this was one of Emilio’s Best Roles. He made Billy the Kid. Young Guns is the better of the two in my opinion, but they are both some of the most Quotable, and Great Westerns. 🤠
An excellent movie I have one criticism of the review. Hitch's 8 gauge would qualify as a market hunter's gun but not as a punt gun. Most punt guns were quite a bit larger and actually mounted to a boat. They weren't fired at flying ducks or geese but were instead fired at waterfowl sitting in water. It wasn't hunting but harvesting.
Excellent, traditional western. I loved it....except for Renee Zellweger. She was adequate at best and hard on the eyes. Viggo and Ed had first-class, stoic chemistry and energy....I would have welcomed a sequel.
Wait. Hol Up. It sounds like they’re adapting the book “Outlaw” by Warren Kiefer but using the Young Guns franchise to tell the story. Im not even a little mad. Outlaw is one of the best western books ever written.
Young Guns 1 isn't very consistent in flow and story telling. It tries but the pacing is off. But Young Guns 2 is much better with pacing and story development.
This is an excellent example of a film not being locked into the concrete Hollywood western format. Although, it has the pacing and authentic look of the traditional oater it is actually subversive thanks to James Patterson's book. I would strongly advance the notion that this new format set the approach to the new wave of westerns here and internationally.
I loved this traditionalist approach and have seen the film many times. I love all the attention to detail, speaking of detail, the one sheet poster shows Ed Harris sporting a fake Single Action Army. You can tell by the rectangular cuts in the cylinder.
That was not a punt gun. Punt guns were usually single barrel with a length of several feet and loaded from the muzzle. Otherwise great review of a great movie
Under Hostiles, you missed mentioning the great Wes Studi as one of the main characters, and in the Johnny Depp film you didn't mention Gary Farmer's performance as the actor who played Nobody. The Indigenous performers often go unmentioned in these lists, especially in recent decades now that they are becoming well-known.
I think that those who know westerns, understand them and enjoy them, true westerns - this is one of the most underrated and underappreciated westerns, if not movie in general, of it's generation.
Great western based on a great book by Robert B Parker. Just to set the record straight -a best selling book does not “closely mirror” the plot of a movie based on the book. The movie can and often doesn’t closely mirror the best selling source material - often a book. In this case the movie was very true to the great source novel which is why it is such a great movie. Robert B Parker wrote 4 Cole and Hitch novels which are all excellent as are the posthumous extension of the series novels authorized by his estate. Like westerns - read or listen to this great series and of course watch Appaloosa.
