I have my TiVo set to automatically record anything with the great Clint Walker in it. I came home today and noticed that it had recorded Yellowstone Kelly.
There is a fight scene in the beginning of the movie that is just wonderful. Anse Harper, a young orphan who wants Kelly to teach him how to be a trapper, jumps into a fight between five army men and giant 6' 6" Clint Walker. Clint watches the boy fight for a few seconds and then gets into the act. What follows is the best fight scene I have ever seen. At one point, the towering Clint Walker is down on one knee while being attacked by Claude Akins. Akins, a large man in his own right, looks like a child next to the mighty Walker. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I have. There has only ever been, or ever will be, one Clint Walker!!
any fight scene with clint is fakey as hell...if he ever hit one o' them dudes tryin' ta kick his ass JUST ONCE, their heads would just go flyin' off into space-- FLYIN' RRRRRRRRIGHT OFF, I TELLS YA'S! he's a freak of nature. aren't we all lucky he turned to acting so we could know of him...

@PrsFenderJackson1980 I think it was his height. I read that no one wanted to be in a movie with him because he was so big; it made them look small.

Yeah. Whose the tree in the red shirt? lol. Did his height keep him from being as big a star as John Wayne or someone similar. Sorry kinda new to Clint Walker. Or was it his acting. Or was it the era of movie he was working in?

If anybody is interested, I've uploaded a nice-quality version of the fight from THE NIGHT OF THE GRIZZLY...check my channel, it's one of my favorite fights.
paldrich, I'd love to see those fights Clint had with Leo on Cheyenne as well. Please post them!
By the way, this is indeed a fantastic scrap.
Cheers.

Thanks anyway, paldrich1. I have heard that theodorebear has posted a clip from "Border Affair". Don't know if it's this one. I just watched "Ghost of Cimarron" today and have had a double dose of a shirtless and sweaty Cheyenne. (Encore Westerns and Movieplex) So I have no reason to be disappointed. : )
