clint eastwood vs james garner- MAVERICK

[gtrjames1]

word has it James Garner was a hard man to whip in real life too.

[bloolouboyle]

I guess this is before he got clyde.

[BrooklynChivalry]

This was about 6 years before he would achieve fame in "A Fistful Of Dollars" (1964). Clint had just started working on the "Rawhide" tv series.

They brawled again in "Space Cowboys" nearly 40 years later!

What causes every talent's

hair to remain in place that it was before a fist fight versus immediately post fist fight???

[belinda2118]

That's umpossible.

[DramaDon83]

@belinda2118 Umpossible?.ha ha ha..I thought I was the only one that used that word!

[Bronco46tube]

Clint's hair style is definitely not from the 1870's. You wouldn't see hair like that for almost 80 years after when this scene was set. They were really bad about that back in the fifties, sixties, and seventies.

[aplantage]

Young Clint LOL ... good with his fists, but even worse with words back then.

[mjtittley]

Very unusual for Clint to lose a fist fight, indeed. He must have had it written into his contract, not to lose another fist fight, lol! Having said that, Garner being the star of this show, had to win, against the slightly evil Clint character I suppose. Good v Evil and all that.

[BlindJax]

I know I seen the show today ole Joe Kidd got beat down by Jim Rockford

[DracIsBack]

@BlindJax Every time I hear someone say "I seen", I hear banjos playing the theme from Deliverance in my head.

[Shazam961]

I never thought I see the day that clint eastwood would get wasted in a fist fight, but this was James Garner, so I will see this as a once off

[Tmontana44]

@Shazam961 You gotta admit, Clint almost got him. xD

[Shazam961]

I never thought I see the day that clint eastwood would get wasted in a fist fight, but this was James Garner, so I will see this as a exception
