High Plains Drifter Bar Scene

This was the second feature-length film Eastwood directed, and the first western.

"How 'bout it stranger? You think you're fast enough to keep up with us?"
"A lot faster than you'll ever live to be."

thanks for putting this up. classic scene. i post classic clips from films too but YT keeps taking them down - which is annoying. anyway - thanks for this.

@telltaleturtle There's some kind of watermark signal in many DVDs that tells YouTube the clip is copyrighted. This signal survives several different transcoding methods. I have no idea how it works, but it's invisible and must be in every frame. That's how YouTube knows immediately, regardless of how you edit the clip.

The watermark signal must contain metadata as well. YouTube always knows which countries to block the content from, or whether to remove it altogether.

@Blyledge @telltaleturtle After talking to a few engineers I'm convinced YouTube and the major studios are using fast Fourier transforms to detect unique audio signatures from TV shows and films. In this scheme the studios would give YT the lightweight FFT data from their properties and YT would compare the FFT of uploads against a database of those. It would be an efficient process and would allow them to detect both full features and clips without using watermarks.

Clint is so good actor. He had such a charisma in his roles in western movies... Who else can do scene like this and do it so authentetic style? He's man with no name character(s) has become icons, and he did these movies when western was in it's heydays, when the competition was tough.

One of my fav movie scenes of all time. Eastwood was such a rogue.

One barfly crapped his shorts on a non-brown-trouser day.

They moved the bottle and the glass of beer. at 1:44...he would have knocked the glass over and that's why it got moved. They forgot to edit it 'changed'.

[Roysterdoyster98]

I don't think anyone is really bothered where the bottle is, Clint Eastwood is the reason most people are watchin it

[scatsp]

if you look where the barman puts the bottle of beer to the left first and then all of a sudden the beer bottle is conviently to his right!!!!!!! still a great seen. Clint your the best and no one will ever compare you.
