Charlton Heston and Warren Oates in Peckinpah's Major Dundee

[monk22yrs]

charlton heston's idea to have peckinpah as director....and then back stabbing peckinpah treated heston like dirt.

[actlloyd]

Yeah, a great scene. But Oates steals it!

[deriter64]

I don't give a damn what Charlton Heston's political beliefs were, when he stepped in front of the camera he was great. I sat mesmerized from everything from 55 Days in Peking to El Cid and still would.

[marcxopoco]

Warren Oates was some actor !

[Nationsnotregimes]

Hollywood stinks.

Heston's character was duty bound to do this!

Just like in Red River Waynes character was correct to want to hand a deserter who indangered ALL of his friends who trusted in each other..

This kind of writing showed the hand of Marxist Nation destroyers IMO

[johnnynoirman]

How times did Warren Oates get shot in the movies and in TV shows?

a million?

[MadScout]

Wow. Good question...

[MadScout]

@johnnynoirman: I know he got killed in the four films Sam Peckinpah directed.

[johnnynoirman]

Warren Oates get shot dead in the movies at least 11 times..not to mention his

T.V. appearances...check this out..Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia... Badlands

Dillinger... Chandler.... There Was a Crooked Man...Barquero,, The Wild Bunch

The Split....Welcome to Hard Times....Major Dundee.....Major Dundee...

Ride the High Country and there might be more!..

@johnnynoirman if you include the movie about john dillinger I believe your figure is wrong and it was much closer to 2 million times.

[MadScout]

Underrated film by the master of modern action films, Sam Peckinpah. I love, in that scene, how Richard Harris holds his chin.

[johnnynoirman]

Yep only two other actors that can match Warren Oates in death scenes and they are Lee Van Cleef, and Jack Elam....Think about it...BONANZA...WANTED DEAD or ALIVE....GUNSMOKE...THE VIRGINIAN..

THE RIFLEMAN...plus the western movies...not to mention gangster movies and

tv crime related shows..like THE UNTOUCHABLES...They were shot by men and by woman and by lawman....

Yes...Western bad guys were shot dead alot in those classic days...THANK GOODNESS for all of US!

[SocratesTheGadfly]

@johnnynoirman you forgot the grand daddy of them all, THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY which was Lee Van Cleef's best death scene EVER!

[johnnynoirman]

I was talking Warren Oates not Lee Van Cleef.

Ona side issue Chuck Connors actually shoots them both in an episode

"The Rifleman"..It would be interesting to find out who died

more often in movies and tv..Warren Oates not Lee Van Cleef?

[SocratesTheGadfly]

@johnnynoirman ooppss sorry. I mis read the passage. ironically warren oates and i attended the same high school and are from the same city in kentucky. the drama department at the university of louisville has a plaque in his honor. i remember warren oates best as sergeant hulka from stripes

[actlloyd]

@cholulasaucehot and a really bad writer!

[actlloyd]

Look at all those fukcing great actors. Ben Johnson, Richard Harris, Chuck Heston....and Warren Oates steals the fucking scene! What an amazing actor! He was the best.

[bigred997]

This is an outstanding cast of legendary actors, including Richard (A Man Called Horse) Harris and Warren (Stripes) Oates as well as James (In Like Flint) Colburn and

Jim (Green Beret) Hutton besides Chuck.

[pektor72]

Warren, oh dear Warren. One of the best actors ever.

[AllenbysEyes]

This is an awesome scene, one of the movie's best. Thank you so much for uploading. RIP Charlton Heston.
