James coburn has really big teeth.

I didn't no Yojimbo had been made into a western also. Kurasawa does make good movies.

Interstingly, a scene in Yojimbo shows the nomnamed hero facing down one of the scum leaders in a windy, deserted street, the fucker pulls a 6 shooter out of his robe and tries to kill the hero in sneaky western villan style!

Yeah. It was shite.

I never really liked James Coburn, except for his role in Cross of Iron which I thought was terrific.

Conan: I didn’t know that. A bacon ‘n’ cabbage Western.

My mate Lynch’s older brother had a Sergio Leone record with all the music from those fillums.Fucking classic stuff and we had the neighbours driven mad with it.

I’m amazed that you’ve seen “FitzCarraldo”(sp?)with Kinski.I thought I was the only oddball in the world who had.Speaking of Oddball…..

Yo Bock, I like a good western, no more than yourself… and btw yes, it’s true, Lee van Cleef made a film on this island, and one of the knock-off Spag westerns was partly shot here with scenes filmed in Toner’s excellent hostelry up in Dublin.

Kurasawa, he sits on the right hand of God…
