If the shotgun blast has enough energy to throw the guy across the alley it must also throw Duvall across the room. Newton's laws haven't been overturned. Equal and opposite and all that ...
How Costner's character handled their top shooter was superb. In your typical Hollywood movie, they'd have a big dramatic duel. Nobody in their right mind would ever give a dangerous man like that a fair fight.
Going to have to disagree in the extreme. No movie is ever fully accurate, but as westerns go this is one of the most accurate shootouts of any era I have seen filmed, and I do know something about firearms.
I love the first shot. It's brilliant - rather than waiting for them to make the first move, he picks the scariest one among them, and blows his head off. Then he shoots the boss.
It's also showing that he's the one they should be afraid of. He'd been a black hat, once upon a time. It was a past he tried to shed: I think that part of what offended him so much might have been that he saw the guy as a sort of dark reflection of himself.
i find the way many of the shots miss their target to be very realistic. revolvers of that time were notoriously inaccurate. many westerns portray the shooters as being capable of highly accurate shots at a distance that was only suitable for rifles. in fact, wild west gunfighters often preferred to take their shots at almost point blank range. the thing that isn't that realistic is that the characters tend to shoot with one hand, this was (and still is) considered bad shooting
how so? i think the guy can do a great impression of keanu reeves. :D it's done by saying aloud, instead of acting out, the memorized lines in the most monotonous voice you can muster up.
revolutionary scene. the first shot costner takes, instantly killing the bad guy you hate the most is just something that has never been done before in a movie. it makes you scream YES! when it happens. usualy in movies costner wouldv almost been killed by the dickhead before he heard the rocky music and found the strength to fight back and win.
I loved how Kevin Costner's character was no bull-sh*t in that beginning shot.
What did he do? Asked if it was the guy that killed his friend and the young boy, confirmed it, and shot the bastard in the head without hesitation.
Yet one has to wonder what the hell that guy was thinking. Why on Earth would you: 1) Admit to killing their friends. 2) Then tell them how much you enjoyed it. 3) Not think that saying this wouldn't get a bullet in the brain.
True, still Costner's hand was by gun, while the others were standing by not alert or prepared. Costner was walking up to them and they didn't even prepare for the worst. Overly confident or just plain idiocy on the part of the villains.
I wish they would've should the fight scene with Mose and the jump surprise when Mose got killed and Button got hurt, would've been great to see some kind of a fight instead of this final one...It would've added on to the moive, but it's like a book. Books don't have all the stuff, you kind of...just imagine it yourself....
This is one of those movies where, if the hero would just shoot the pain in the ass obvious bad guy the first time they meet, an awful lot of hassle could simply have been avoided.
to answer once and for all....no a shotgun not even a 10 gauge has enough lbs of energy at the muzzle to hurl a person through the air when they get shot...they just drop..the only way they'll fly back is if they jump back when shot
@Pill88Dickle ummm yes it would from that close. it is all in how the engery is transfered. he has the shotgun pushed close to his shoulder. the other guy is getting hit with buck shot and 475 meter per second>

I got to say that the very first scenes already made me laugh. Perhaps the movie can be treated seriously in its entirety, but certainly not judging by just those few minutes.
One of the best Costner movies ever, except for "The Postman" This movie was truly amazing. I wish they could still make movies like this. But alas, this might be the last great western movie, without ridiculous over the top special effects and fake crap.
@aidzz69 If you have ever even looked at a gun one time, you will know that all guns have a certain capacity. The only thing that makes one gun special from the next, is the type of ammunition it uses, and how many shots can be fired. If you don't know how many shots can be fired from a particular gun, then you should not be watching a movie about guns, about the people using guns, and about the lethal power of guns. At least, that is my opinion.
@aidzz69 haha. I would hope the director would slap me if I thought the movie was only about guns. yes it is great movie! It points out so many underlying themes and I absolutely love the slow and distant pacing.
also, digging some older comments about how people only loaded five shots leaving the hammer on an empty cylinder to prevent accidents. This is true, but that's for everyday traveling. if you are about to go into a fight and you have time to kill (and they did, they bought candy) you'll load that 6th bullet.
To be quite honest this movie was a little boring at first but it was worth the wait, great gunfight, I still loved it even thoug it was dry at the begining.
@TherealQ2 They do exist, but in this instance the guns hes using are peacemakers in .45 lc. You can see higher-resolution stills of them from all angles on imfdb
Actually, looks like KC is using Colt single action army pistols. 6 shots and you are dry. I like to think he drew they other gun when Duvall got hit at the wide angle. you can't see what Costner was up to.
Just watched it again, full screen. Still looks like at least 8 (maybe 10) chambers when you pause it at 36 seconds..
Hard to say for sure type of revolver.. Colt Single Action requires hammer to be fully cocked before firing, not an ideal weapon for "quick drawing" More likely a dual action revolver.
Looking at the actual prop right now. It's an S.A.A and .45 cal
Quick draw requires you to be able to pull the pistol and cock the hammer in one fluid motion. Good example would be Ringo in Tombstone before Doc shoots him. (another movie where S.A.A's 6 shooters fire 20 bullets)
Not trying to be a pisser. I liked both movies, just those kinda things irk me.
@CosmicDestroyer99 What you wanted was a LeMat revolver...nine shots in .42 caliber, plus, the pin on which the cylinder revolved was a second barrel that held a load of buckshot. Now, that's bad-ass.
The 12 shot revolver screwed an otherwise perfect movie all up. After Cosner's character fans off 9 shots in a row my whole sense of immersion in the film goes to hell for several minutes. There is a continuity error with the clock in Ann Bancroft's house too but that doesn't throw me as much, I almost thought they did it on purpose since a 6 year old can notice when a clock shows an earlier time than it did just a bit ago.
phenomenal film. definately my favorite western. killer script, great rain, great shootout (amazingly the only one in the film! at the end). if you love westerns, you need to really sit and see this. it's got everything you love in one place. costner's heart is all in this film. just too good.
The best thing about this movie is the fact that it's just a great story. No imortal characters like Doc Holliday or Wyatt Earp...ect. Excellent writing and wonderful acting. Should have been more widely recognized and awarded. Bar none, the best western film that I've ever seen.
Let the fact that this is a Western fool us into what? Damn good movie, good shoot out. I still stand on this one and the one in The Long Riders. Pretty close call.
Apparently this is a more accurate shootout, where they stand about four feet away from each other and unload with shit-all accuracy. Seems odd though but souds about right
@MattAlbie People think they're a bad ass when they shoot at a target in a gun range that doesn't shoot back in anger. These are probably the same people that think everyone carried the same six-shooter in the 19th century A.K.A. TheOthoudt.
@kurtizzyflush If you are referring to the comment below about the pistol firing too many rounds then yes he has a valid point. I know there were some pistols that held more than 6 but if you look at his gun it is clearly a six shot revolver.
its not about what you believe what the west was, you didnt live it, its about what it is, and he had a 12 chamber revolver, its a 22 caliber 12 shot revolverrevolver
@desertbrigade I love that line and the Percy character as well. The actor's name was Michael Jeter. He died in 2003, too young at 50. I think this film's strength is not so much the story (which is not unique) but the sharply defined characters - like Percy and Spearman and even "bad guy" Baxter.
@PhiloYT1 True. Really interesting characters in this. In the deleted scenes, it goes into Boss's reason in more detail for giving up his life as a family man after his wife and child caught typhoid. Michael Jeter died far too young. He appeared in many great films, a notable performance as Eduard Delacroix in The Green Mile, and his friendship with Mr Jingles. This is one of Kevin Costner's best roles as Charley Waite...a man trying to put bad days behind him.
0:22-0:40. Awesome! No lengthy speech by Costner's character, just a bullet to the head! Best scene of the film! Reminds me a little of Charles Bronson in Death Wish I.
lol, I love how everyone ends up bouncing all over the place when they get shot, there must have been a lot of wires pulling the stuntmen every which way.
Interesting that many people only load 5 rounds in the cylinder of the Colt SAA/Peacemaker revolver and have the hammer resting on an empty chamber to avoid it accidentally going off. Another good scene in this film is the bar-scene where Boss doesn't have much luck in ordering 2 whiskies from the bartender. Charley blows the sign hanging over the bar to bits with his shotgun, points at the bar and says "Now we'll have our drinks". Direct and to the point!
Yep. Modernized SAAs (like the Ruger Vaquero) have more modern firing mechanisms, so that the firing pin can only be struck if the hammer is released from a fully-cocked position, by a pull from the trigger. But many reproductions use the older mechanism.
@E2theSamps Interesting stuff. I'm guessing that the original Colt 1873 SAA had three cocking positions for the hammer? First click back was safe, second/half cock was for opening the loading-gate for putting in the cartridges, and fully back was cocked and ready to fire. I could be wrong however?
Great western this is. Nice to see a film with no boring overdone CGI, no story and no crap acting. Open Range is just a great storyline with terrific performances from Costner and Duvall with real depth behind the characters. This shootout has to be one of the very best gunfights on film (although about 10 shots from a six-gun is a bit...) regardless it's one of those films that I never get bored of watching.
@capecodpirate7 Everyone thinks that, but it's actually either a 9 or 10 shot revolver.. hard to tell, but they did exist back in the day. I think it's in the DVD release that you can see him pull out his second revolver before he fans it into the guy, firing 9 shots. It's a smaller caliber to fit more rounds.. that's why earlier in the movie Robert Duvall makes a comment about Costner's character preferring a "lighter" weapon.
@capecodpirate7 its called a new york reload. cowboys would never actually shoot 2 guns at once. not having quickloads back then made reloading a long process, so drawing a second gun and passing it to the strong hand was very efficient.
Although the whole 'shooting the shotgun through a wall and making the guy fly several feet' is typical hollywood shotgun shinanigans, it is entertaining to watch over and over again.
Fucking love the bit where Costner is trying to get a shot at Gambon as he hides behind the troft.. The Handheld camera through the horses legs is just effing brilliant.
What a good movie. Robert Duval is and always will be one of the best. Its a shame the he, Gene Hackman, and Clint Eastwood are getting old. We will lose a lot when they are gone. But time must run its course. All I would like to know is where we will get the actors for any more westerns? My bet is there will be no more. We will be more interested in nigger thugs and porn to care about real good movies. What a shame.
They're using Colt Single Action Armies. I don't where they got the idea that SAAs could shoot more than 6 shots at a time. It's still a great shootout nonetheless.
I'm a big fan of Kevin Costner and Robert DuVall, but I gotta say, at :56, I didn't know they made a revolver that held 9 bullets. Don't mean to be picky, just sayin'.
@jraintdead - there are revolvers that hold as many as 12 shots. But his revolver is a .45 caliber by the looks of it. Only six shots. but .22 and .25 caliber revolvers would get into the double digits.

@desertbrigade I love that line and the Percy character as well. The actor's name was Michael Jeter. He died in 2003, too young at 50. I think this film's strength is not so much the story (which is not unique) but the sharply defined characters - like Percy and Spearman and even "bad guy" Baxter.

@PhiloYT1 True. Really interesting characters in this. In the deleted scenes, it goes into Boss's reason in more detail for giving up his life as a family man after his wife and child caught typhoid. Michael Jeter died far too young. He appeared in many great films, a notable performance as Eduard Delacroix in The Green Mile, and his friendship with Mr Jingles. This is one of Kevin Costner's best roles as Charley Waite...a man trying to put bad days behind him.

0:22-0:40. Awesome! No lengthy speech by Costner's character, just a bullet to the head! Best scene of the film! Reminds me a little of Charles Bronson in Death Wish I.

lol, I love how everyone ends up bouncing all over the place when they get shot, there must have been a lot of wires pulling the stuntmen every which way.

He fires nine straight shots from a six shooter, and this after having already fired multiple other shots :D
WheelsRCool 1 year ago
Interesting that many people only load 5 rounds in the cylinder of the Colt SAA/Peacemaker revolver and have the hammer resting on an empty chamber to avoid it accidentally going off. Another good scene in this film is the bar-scene where Boss doesn't have much luck in ordering 2 whiskies from the bartender. Charley blows the sign hanging over the bar to bits with his shotgun, points at the bar and says "Now we'll have our drinks". Direct and to the point!
Fenner1976 1 year ago
@Fenner1976
Yep. Modernized SAAs (like the Ruger Vaquero) have more modern firing mechanisms, so that the firing pin can only be struck if the hammer is released from a fully-cocked position, by a pull from the trigger. But many reproductions use the older mechanism.
E2theSamps 1 year ago
@E2theSamps Interesting stuff. I'm guessing that the original Colt 1873 SAA had three cocking positions for the hammer? First click back was safe, second/half cock was for opening the loading-gate for putting in the cartridges, and fully back was cocked and ready to fire. I could be wrong however?

Great western this is. Nice to see a film with no boring overdone CGI, no story and no crap acting. Open Range is just a great storyline with terrific performances from Costner and Duvall with real depth behind the characters. This shootout has to be one of the very best gunfights on film (although about 10 shots from a six-gun is a bit...) regardless it's one of those films that I never get bored of watching.

Revolver with more than 12 shots wtf?
capecodpirate7 1 year ago 23
@capecodpirate7 Everyone thinks that, but it's actually either a 9 or 10 shot revolver.. hard to tell, but they did exist back in the day. I think it's in the DVD release that you can see him pull out his second revolver before he fans it into the guy, firing 9 shots. It's a smaller caliber to fit more rounds.. that's why earlier in the movie Robert Duvall makes a comment about Costner's character preferring a "lighter" weapon.
Not all revolvers are six-shooters!

@capecodpirate7 its called a new york reload. cowboys would never actually shoot 2 guns at once. not having quickloads back then made reloading a long process, so drawing a second gun and passing it to the strong hand was very efficient.

What a good movie. Robert Duval is and always will be one of the best. Its a shame the he, Gene Hackman, and Clint Eastwood are getting old. We will lose a lot when they are gone. But time must run its course. All I would like to know is where we will get the actors for any more westerns? My bet is there will be no more. We will be more interested in nigger thugs and porn to care about real good movies. What a shame.

They're using Colt Single Action Armies. I don't where they got the idea that SAAs could shoot more than 6 shots at a time. It's still a great shootout nonetheless.

I'm a big fan of Kevin Costner and Robert DuVall, but I gotta say, at :56, I didn't know they made a revolver that held 9 bullets. Don't mean to be picky, just sayin'.

@jraintdead Plenty of revolvers hold 9 bullets, a LeMat for instance.
Tricto380 1 year ago
@jraintdead - there are revolvers that hold as many as 12 shots. But his revolver is a .45 caliber by the looks of it. Only six shots. but .22 and .25 caliber revolvers would get into the double digits.
Biscuitchris7again 1 year ago
@Biscuitchris7again OK, agreed. And most firearms historians concur that fanning revolvers occurred very rarely, if at all, in the old West.
But I'm willing to cut 'em some slack for the sake of artistic license:). I like this film very much.
