[GaussRifleGrunt]

@chrysanthos66 what the fuck are you saying

[monkeyboy4746]

Ali just shoots the hell out of that one bad guy.

[TheSoundBarrier]

I've got this movie on DVD -- just wish it was in 5.1 - man I really do. Have always loved this movie. Pure grimey goodness - what Tarantino wishes he could be like. Sam made a great flick.

[Redeyebatt]

1:31 Polański ^^

[onlymusicism]

BB raid on PVV partycongress LOL and Parree Beheer

[YourLBN]

is that fucking Al Bundy @1:46??????

[KraytonMC1980]

With the size shell he was using (00 Buck) people should have been flying across the room!

Just look at what happened to the police car. Only accurate potrayal of a shotgun

on film!!!

[kymelle]

sally struthers was hilarious in this movie!! One of my favorite classics. This and the original " out of towners", with jack lemmon

[Lex5576]

High Standards were good shotguns until they outsourced parts manufacture to third party machine companies. Then it was all down hill........shit quality metals, poor workmanship, reliability issues.........what a sad end to a once fine shotgun. Still good to see it in it's prime like in this movie scene with the legendary Steve McQueen.

[llamacide73]

@Lex5576

Side note: I have a Hi Standard 'Military Model' .22 cal target pistol my Grandfather gave me. It was a training pistol during WWII. Adjustable rear sights, double action and weighted like a .45 cal to train solders what its like to hold the weight of a .45 but not waste .45 ammo on the range.... this thing is the most accurate target pistol I have ever shot! Hi Standard made some damn fine weapons back in the day!

[romeonarcizo]

Yeah!!!! Mcqueen is the men!!!!

[TheSoundBarrier]

This movie a classic; that guys like Quentin Tarantino can only dream of making.

[m0n0nen]

Steve McQueen is the fuckin coolest guy ever and i love this movie

[deriter64]

@m0n0nen I agree and I grew up watching McQueen. I saw an interview once with a director who said "Steve McQueen could act with the back of his head", a comment I didn't understand until I saw the remake of the Getaway. Nothing wrong with Alec Baldwin, he's great, but there was just something about the original ... and neither had a lot of dialogue, just presence. Best.

[m0n0nen]

@deriter64 yes thats true, he was very talented actor, one of my faves. i havent seen that Baldwin version and i dont think im ever gonna watch it cuz this will be the greatest ;)

[cosmicdingo]

What kind of SMG was that?

[DarkwingDork]

@cosmicdingo A Smith & Wesson M76. They showed up a lot in 1970s action movies (The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3, Prime Cut, The Omega Man, The Laughing Policeman, Magnum Force, etc...) Heath Ledger uses one in The Dark Knight at one point too...

[cosmicdingo]

@DarkwingDork Many thanx.

[TheSoundBarrier]

@cosmicdingo I believe the SMG was a variation of the "Swedish K" by Smith & Wesson - not sure of the model number offhand, sorry. Nothing a simple Google search can't solve. Just key in "Swedish K Smith & Wesson" and see what pops up. Take care, man.

[cosmicdingo]

@TheSoundBarrier Thanx.

[kurskss]

@cosmicdingo Smith and Wesson model 76 SMG

[cosmicdingo]

@kurskss Many Thanks.

[classiclistener01]

@TodieToLiveLA - This is a great scene from the classic 1972 movie; and by the iconic director who immortalized the pump 12 guage shotgun (also in "The Wild Bunch" - 1969) - thank you for posting this!!! Can you post the scene from "The Getaway" where Steve spares the Sherrifs, but, destroys the Sherrif's car with the same gun?

Love your taste in movies! I, too, love Sam Peckinpah! :)

[drumdude46]

Fabulous! 

[resurgem8]

Pukka film

[TralfazConstruction]

Given what we know of how Steve became afflicted with Mesothelioma later in life I've noted the changes in his appearance here, 4 years removed from "Bullitt", a decade after "The Magnificent Seven" and I'm moved to sadness. Steve seemed to be aging rapidly; likely the effects of the incubating disease; a slow growing invader within the body. I've a dear loved one suffering from Mesothelioma and the prognosis is poor. That said, I enjoyed "The Getaway" in that year when I turned 17. Great film.

[jennifersman]

@TralfazConstruction That may be true, but he also could've just gone prematurely grey, and I think his use of asbestos racing suits, plus exposure to asbestos while in the Marines, engine exhaust and cigarette smoking had more to do with his cancer than anything else

[TralfazConstruction]

@jennifersman : I'm not minding the grey so much as Steve's more taut and slightly grizzled appearance. Mind you, 'JennifersMan', I didn't really 'see' this about Steve when watching "The Getaway" nearly 38 years ago. Now, with the benefit of hindsight, age and the passing of the years Steve McQueen seems more the poignant, tragic, hero.

We all age, lose our 'edge', whatever that edge may be and that's what I have been reconciling within myself over the past several years or so.

[scottmanduzy]

what a gr8 year 1973 was for cool films. Charley varrick, friends of eddie coyle, getaway, papillon, paper moon, mean streets, serpico, pat garret and billy the kid, badlands, enter the dragon, american graffiti, last detail, cinderella liberty, exorcist, sting, electra glide in blue, mag force, touch of class and dillinger with the underrated warren oates.

[ClarenceBoddicker87]

@scottmanduzy You forgot "The Laughing Policeman". I'm sure that they used the same S&W 76, but with a different barrel.

[scottmanduzy]

@ClarenceBoddicker87 yes, another underwatched matthau classic. Taking of Pelham, Charley Varrick and laughing Policeman came out same year!

[dorslv]

That woman is Ali McGraw.

[MetalUpYourAssFuck]

the best part is the one that rudy fuck's harold's wife.. lol

cant find this to download tho

[scottmanduzy]

@MetalUpYourAssFuck sally is looking for her meathead!

[omegamann71]

Along with  " Bullit " Steve McQueen's best role ever

[joopio]

Cool film that you can see over and over again.

That later version should be banned worldwide for ever and ever.

I think many people would agree with me....

[scottmanduzy]

@joopio why do they remake classic films?

[joopio]

@scottmanduzy I have really no idea...the best reason to remake a film is ofcourse to make money, and that's a bad reason as bad it can be! They should keep their fingers of the original stuff. Films in which Steve Mc Queen played main role: Bullitt, Getaway, Thomas Crown Affair etc. FACT: Steve Mc Queen is a real moviestar, A1 way high up there, but everybody knows that, right?

[scottmanduzy]

@joopio I never wanted to see the remake of Psycho, why mess with a classic. I understand they are remaking Bonnie and Clyde with of all actresses "Hillary Duff" !! (GULP) It goes to show what little faith Hollywood has in new material. They want revenues from a proven source rather than come up with fresh ideas. That is why I admire Tarantino. He writes and directs his own stuff.

[Ragtime4]

too bad this vid doesn't include the part where he first got the gun and blew out the police!!

[12GaugeLosAngeles]

some brutal shit.

[oldpaladin1]

Behold the Power of Peckinpah !

[brianallancobb]

Highly recommend the novel, by Jim Thompson, the godfather of noir.

[brianallancobb]

Great, underrated movie.

The stunt where the getaway car takes out all the pillars of a house's porch is one of the best ever. Nobody did stunts like Peckinpagh.

The movie which made Ali McGraw give up her privileged life as Mrs. Robert Evans in order to be with Steve McCool.

[zeg0ggles]

For the definitive tight shotgun scene, I'd suggest the final shootout in Rolling Thunder.

[bigwood2659]

FAQ:

They used real ammo for much of the shots

[sn00ke]

What a loser, he was using Stopping Power and Sleight of Hand against obvious newbs.

[thesirer]

how is that stupid?

[mouseman71]

Anyone know the name of this hotel? I assume it was filmed in El Paso?

[amayagab]

I think Michael Madsen owns that gun now. He was talking about it on the O&A show.

[rawman18]

Now that was some great shooting. Love the double team shot at 1:55. That woman with steve is fine too. GO McQueen

[greytheboss]

no i havent seen rudy you dumb broad lol

[WilliamRowlett]

Except the guy sounds like a New Jersey Frank Sinatra character and not a Texan. He even wears a cowboy hat! Still a good scene.

[xferFB]

@greytheboss bruni



[dongawoy]

Brutal at 1:30.

I love the soundtrack on this film.

Still my favourite Mcqueen film.

[lumpenernie]

The way he reveals the shotgun is so awesome.

[AlkoTanko]

Arguably the best portrayal of shotgun in movies, notice how people are NOT flying across the room when hit by blast.

[goatboyful]

well iff you want to argue, i would have said "THE WILD BUNCH" or perhaps in 3rd place "THE WIND AND THE LION". or iff you want people flying around, JOHN WOO'S "HARD-BOILED". any others?

[AlkoTanko]

Haven't seen Wind And The Lion, but WB and Hard Boiled are among my personal favorites. One worth mentioning is Appaloosa with the insane 8 gauge Viggo Mortensen is carrying, he doesn't even need to fire it to gain people's attention.

[goatboyful]

and for further 12 guage entertainment, have you seen JOHN CARPENTERS "ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13"?, the actor is Darwin Joston i believe.

[goatboyful]

and for a fun shotgun scene, watch James Coburn and Carroll O'Connor in Waterhole 3.

[Franschief]

But arguably they are kind of propelled backwards, esp. the guy who gets shot by both McQueen and McGraw.

[goatboyful]

more shotgun fun can be found in 'Public Enemies' and the lever action 10guage Winchester, that one of the FBI hard-men uses.

[SuperMoongazer]

@AlkoTanko It's also portrayed as being effective at more that point-blanc range, so that's nice.

[goldyn12345]

great scene,great movie and the man,the legend steve mcqueen!!
