Clint Walker survived being impaled in the heart in 1971, just passed away. He is the star of Cheyenne, which can be seen every morning at 6am on Heroes and Icons.
Half the cast of the Dirty Dozen from George Kennedy, Clint Walker, Ernest Borgnine, and Jim Brown would later voice the Commando Elite on Small Soldiers
''staabbb hiimmmm!!!!" love telly savalas in this movie, especially the way he laughs and acting crazy. he made this movie for me just like he did with kelly's heroes.
Awwww, Posey was my favorite. I always loved the part where he actively stands up for the smallest man in the company who's getting bullied and gaslit. Truly a gentle giant with a heart of gold, but sadly always at the mercy of his immense strength and capacity for incredible rage.
Same hear then when I lose it and I've been 3:12 pushed too far I like to release it then I enjoy it so much I never want it to end then when it all over and I calmed down it like I was another person and then the guilt kicks in .
I don't know about that. The did a pretty good job with Midway after freshening up the graphics. I'ok give any remake of a John Wayne movie a lot of stink eye, but they did a good job with that one too. The Magnificent Seven was excellent.
@@anthonymarcano2974 Jim Brown, Charles Bronson, Lee Marvin, Clint Walker. I'm sorry, but there isn't enough CGI in the world to make today's actors seem as manly as the original cast. Might as well recast it with women, which some idiot in Hollywood is itching to do anyway.
While the most gutwrenching death in the film to most of us might have been Jefferson's (especially to an 11yo boy who loved the RB Jim Brown!), the saddest death was Posey's. His character was a nice guy. I know when his character dies in the film, but I don't think it's shown onscreen. Only his fellow machine gunner is shown. Yea, I agree with another comment here- the movie should NEVER be remade.
@@Ciara1594 A quick search suggests while Murphy was the most decorated, Marvin was not the second most. It was Garlin Murl Conner. Not sure if you knew that and just made up what you said, or what...
@@Ciara1594 Lee Marvin was a hard bastard. But he wasn't Audie Murphy. He had a good service record and was wounded from enemy fire at the battle of Saipan I believe. I did see an interview that he did with Terry Wogan were Wogan asked him about being "awarded" the purple heart medal. Marvin said that he didn't really win a the purple heart, they just give it to you when your injured, so by that rationale he said he would of been happy to of gone without it. I wouldn't say he downplayed it, but you could tell that he didn't necessarily feel as though he'd done anything really worth talking about. He'd just managed to survive a fairly horrific ordeal like a lot of other people had done. David Niven had quite an interesting war time service. As did Richard Todd and Scotty out of Star Trek. Apparently you never see one of Scottys hands due to him losing half of it in Normandy. Sterling Hayden and Christopher Lee were in the intelligence services. Worked behind the lines in Yugoslavia and North Africa.
Great scene. Clint Walker would've been a great Superman. Should try to make use of him in one of the movies. I like President Snow sitting on the side getting worried.
Clint would have also made the perfect Conan. His phisique and looks fit exactly with R.E. Howard's description of Conan The Cimmerian: Scottish blooded ancestory, tall, standing several inches over 6 feet, powerful and quick, jet black hair, and of course the smouldering blue eyes - but if course the Conan movie came out in 1981 and Walker would have been a little too old at that point (maybe not). Personally, I never liked Hollywood's and Schwarzeneggers portrayal, as Conan was supposed to be powerful, but not a musclebound bodybuilder, but a tiger's agility, strength, speed and endurance, and most importantly, he was supposed to be highly intelligent, which Arnold's portrayal made him look like al dull-witted moh-ron....
Did you not understand what Maj Reisman said to him at the end? Yes, you DO want Posey on your side ... unless his ability to kill is at the whim of his temper. He's of no use unless he can be trained to focus that killer instinct on the enemy instead of his fellow soldiers.
@@whiteknightcat Yes l saw that and you are right, Maj Reisman was proving his point. But l wasn't talking about Reisman pushing Posey around. My comment was directed at the man Posey killed who was probably some smart aleck, show off bully trying to push the big man around.
@@theheff66 The guy Posey killed was probably a jackass with an inflated idea of his own toughness and not a whole lot of brains. The fact that Posey managed to hit that small brain with his jawbone makes the guy even less lucky. I guarantee that if Mike Tyson walked into a enough bars, sooner or later he'd run across an idiot who was willing to start some shit with him.
@ Carlos Nunez: As a Marine infantryman, I Company, 3rd Battalion, 24th Marines, 4th Marine Division, Private Lee Marvin took part in combat during the invasion of Saipan in the Central Pacific in June-July 1944, and was wounded by Japanese machine-gun fire during the assault on Mount Tapochau on 18 June 1944. Wounded in the buttocks, his sciatic nerve was severed, and he also sustained a sniper wound to his foot. After more than a year of hospitalization and treatment by U.S. Navy medical personnel, he was medically-discharged as a Private First Class. He wore the combat action ribbon, the Purple Heart and Presidential Unit Citation amongst his decorations. Like his fellow screen idol and tough guy, Charles Bronson, who was also wounded in action during WWII, Marvin didn't have to pretend when it came to portraying military men and men-at-war, because he knew those things first-hand. I always enjoyed Marvin's on-screen presence and easy-going manner off-screen. It's been many years since his death, but he remains something unique in the history of Hollywood.
"And drove his jawbone straight into his brain!" Lee's delivery is so spot on with his character-equal parts contempt, equal parts amazement at Posey's sheer power.
Ernest Borgnine was in the Navy.Robert Ryan, Telly Savalas, Robert Ryan,George Kennedy, Robert Webber, Ralph Meeker, Richard Jaekel all were WW2 vets. The others weren't old enough
Walker was Merchant Mariner. Savalas was Army, I think Infantry. George Kennedy did most of a career as an officer. Borgnine was a Navy CPO before and after the war. Ryan was a Marine and a pre and post war Merchant Mariner. Not sure about the rest.
Charles Bronson was in the U.S. Army Air Corps, and served in battle in the skies over Japan as the aerial-gunner in a B-29 Super Fortress heavy bomber. He was wounded, and was entitled to wear the Purple Heart with the rest of his decorations. He flew 25 missions over Japan as a member of the 61st Bombardment Squadron, 39th Bombardment Group, based on Guam.
I was in the Marine Corp bootcamp with a guy named Posey and he was completely opposite of Clint Walker role he ended up calling his congressman to get out. The Dirty Dozen is a movie of people who were at their lowest point of their lives and rose to do their best in the mission other than Maggott who was a straight out psycho.
If you are ever in a knife fight and your combatant comes at you like that (with an overhand attack), you should count your lucky stars...those are by far the easiest moves to defend/defeat ...(a U.S. Marine combat vet who had pretty extensive blade training before deploying to Iraq in 2004)....still, great scene...this movie had a number of great scenes.
@@1958Shemp Lee Marvin wouldn't have stood a chance in a real fight with Clint Walker !Clint lifted weights as a hobby Lee lifted whiskey glasses as a hobby.Legend has hit Lee kept showing up on the set drunk so often Bronson warned him "next time you show up drunk I'll kick the shit out of you"!That's how men handled things back then.
Clint Walker was a man God made closer in His image than many others. He the looks and physical strength for sure but he was equally strong intellectually. A true gentleman with a very big heart to cap it all of.
R I P Lee Marvin (Semper Fi) Clint Walker ,Jim Brown ,Telly Savales ,Charles Bronson and Ernie Borgnine to Richard Jackael to George Kennedy (R I P)🙏🏻🥺 who were all remembered in this 1967 Classic ❤🙏🏻🥺
Lee fought with the Director about this scene, said it was total B.S., nobody could do that to Clint, tried his best to get it thrown out. Totally unrealistic he said.
The fact that it took the Colonel a whole minute of pushing Posey in order for him to crest to action, should reflect that the asshole who got jaw jacked, clearly deserved it. Some days you get the bear, somedays, the bear gets you.
I love this movie - but, I wish it had more of *Clint Walker* in it though - an did they ever decide if *Posey* was listed as Killed in action or Missing in action ? curious to know this as I've heard this told several ways. *Clint Walker* is who every body builder out there should mold themselves after - *Perfection* an no drugs or fake injections to look good - is why he lived to be 90yrs old . Yum!
@Reynaldo Flores Cut for sure - it would been too much of a downer for the viewers as we all loved the gentle giant Posey, who never wanted any "trouble."
Same with Chuck Connors . Both were about 6'-6" and served in the war effort. Connors played for the Boston Celtic, Dodgers, Montreal Royales and got into acting . Today we see hollywood pushing the soy-boy image where they don;t even do their own stunts and have CGI make them look tough .
The point was the Major was trying to get Posey to react angrily by provoking, and thereby showing Posey that while he is a brute of a man, he can be defeated easily because of his reckless anger. Plus I think he wanted Posey to react more decisively when confronted with combat as well. In short, he was training Posey to be a more effective and dangerous soldier. He also gained a likely ally in this group of condemned men as well. Posey sure as hell respected him after this, and the rest of the men sure as hell weren't going to fuck with someone who took down the biggest dude among them.
If memory serves me correct, he died in a car accident, his chest impaled on the steering column. Played in westerns, notably the title role of 'Cheyenne' . Can't recall the title but he played a gunslinger who after killing another msn & going tp prison, tried to turn his life around. But his previous reputation brings him unwanted challenges to defend himself again.
Note that he was considerably larger than Jim Brown. If I recall Jim was 6'2" and weighed 230 in his playing days. Which ended when he made this movie and started making a lot more money for a lot less abuse in the field.
6 feet, 6 inches tall with a 48 inch chest. Clint had a physique and a jawline that was MADE for Hollywood, and the ladies loved him in Cheyenne and his other roles. He was never a great actor, but he could deliver a line well enough to stay busy in the industry into old age.
Geeeez... Clint walker was built like a brick shithouse... I only found out about this actor last year, and I’m tellin you right now, that’s some SEXY right there! ❤️❤️❤️. I can’t get enough of that eye candy!
He worked as a security staff member at a hotel and was told to audition for a movie which needed large strong men . While driving to see Cecil B DeMille he stopped on the highway to help a lady that just had a flat tire. He was delayed and the lady felt bad that he was going somewhere and is not late. Clint got to the Movie studio and met DeMille who pointed out they he was late.....Clint said he stopped to help a women with a flat tire, DeMille said " Yes, my Secretary told me all about it" . Clint got the job and was an extra in The Ten Commandments .
Gary wood I never knew who he was until I watched “Cheyenne” one day at my moms and I was as like “that guy is in The Dirty Dozen... all I can say is WOW... talk about a hot guy with a body to die for... DAMN 🔥🔥🔥. They ain’t NOBODY in todays Hollywood that could even size up to this one!
I know right!!! I every available season of Cheyenne on DVD a few months ago when I found out about him. Those are WONDERFUL to watch, not just for his looks...but a GREAT tv show!
the big mystery in this movie is not showing the clint walker character death scene. supposedly he died but was it ever filmed and if it was , where is it? not in the movie.
Posey seems to be a good person. It would be easy to hit someone who keeps pushing. I can understand something like that. I know it's not real life, but who the hell likes to be antagonized like that that?
This illustrates the one weakness Clint Walker had as an actor. Big as he was, he never could summon up menace the way Lee Marvin or Robert Mitchum could, ever though those guys were much smaller men. I don't think Walker could've played psychos anywhere as well as Mitchum or Marvin. The idea of forming a commando team from a bunch of murderers is stupid, especially for the guy who's supposed to lead them. It's been done before in the movies; "Only The Valiant" 1951 is a western with a similar plot with Gregory Peck in the Marvin role.
@Your Dad Walker was 4-5 inches taller and with broader shoulders and heavier build than Marvin. Walker usually played polite, gentle big men "yes ma'am, no ma'am". Marvin played everything from comical drunks to violent maniacs.
@Your Dad According to the section on "The Dirty Dozen" in the Internet Movie Database trivia, Lee Marvin thought the scene where he wrestles a bayonet away from Clint Walker was unrealistic. In fact, Marvin, who was a WWII marine thought the entire movie was unrealistic and not at all like his combat experiences.
In the 1950s i was in the boy scouts i was a skinny little kid and ended up with the nickname of cheyanne because i was the exact opposite of Clint walker
