Nip's Next Movie

[Forewarned]

Title: Mescalero
Tagline: The Magnificent Seven are short a few
Summary: A hunted one eyed outlaw, an orphaned boy, and a Crazy with a dynamite case collide in an Alaskan town with a lynch mob after a rabbi and his family...

Eric [insert surname here]: James Henrikson (The Mescalero)
Strahd [insert surname here]: The Kid (Jimmy Hardin)
Nip Todd: "Soap" Walters

Trivia:
Mescalero's backup pistol is a .50 duckfoot, a matchlock pistol that fires four barrels at once, the pistol The Kid uses early in the film is a Remington Rider, it uses only a rifle primer to fire its 4.3mm ammunition

The Kid's nickname is Little Texarkana, because his mother was from Louisiana and met his father in Texas, his father was supposedly John Wesley Hardin (AKA Little Arkansas)

Mescalero's off hand pistol is a British Howdah pistol, the double barrelled side arm was used for hunting in India if a tiger or leopard jumped onto the Howdah, an elephants saddle. It fires a .577 Snyder round, making it the most powerful handgun of it's day

The story behind Soap Walter's Cannabalized leg is based on a true incedent. In 1853, miners cannabalized the leg of a body buried in a mine collapse, when the miners were rescued, the man the leg belonged to was found to be alive in a hollow created by the collapse.

The main antagonist, Tomahawk, is based on John Goodman, the machete wielding killer from John Wayne's "Big Jake". Bounty hunter, Boone Richards, is based on John Fain, another character from "Big Jake"

Boone's comment of "a dangerous combination" refers to the ZZ top song of the same name as this film

The mescal bottle in the Bear Claw bar is cracked, it was kept for its unique shape

Billy Gibbons was offered a small role in this film as The Kid's Uncle, he declined due to a scheduling conflict.

Goofs:
When Soap reveals his cannibalized leg as he undresses, you can see the top Nip Todd's undisguised leg in the next scene.

When Henrikson enters The Kid's shack with his Duck's foot drawn, a thin tendril of smoke can be seen trickling from one barrel, the black powder pistol discharged accidentally in an earlier scene while it was "holstered".

The position of Tomahawk's Hatchet keeps changing

Memorable Quotes:
(Soap pulls a shotgun with Dynamite bundled around the mouth of the barrel on Henrikson)
Henrikson: You're that bad a shot...

O'brien: No way we can rob this bank, we don't have any dynamite
(Nicholas Rostov passes the outlaws)
Tomahawk: We don't have to rob the bank, all we need do do is just follow that little round hat all the way home...
O'brien: and then what
Tomahawk: Something I learned way back in the war, people don't notice a robbery when they's hanging someone

(Ba is helping Soap get undressed for a bath)
Ba sing'se:(On seeing Soap's leg) Yeeeek!
Soap: What?

(The Kid is plinking cans on a fence)
Nicholas: Aren't you a bit young to be playing with guns
The Kid: Arent you a bit young to be telling me what to do? (Hits another can)

(Henrikson has opened Soap's dynamite case)
Henrikson: What the?
Soap: Take it, it's yours, all of it. It's more gold and silver than you can spend in the rest of your life...
Henrikson:(Grabs Soap by the throat) Where's the f@(#ing dynamite? (Throws Soap over by his bed)
Soap: Here! (Pulls out a shotgun with dynamite tied to the barrel)
Henrikson: You're that bad a shot?

Henrikson: Is that all they call you, just Kid?
The Kid: My mother called me Little Texarkana sometimes
Henrikson: Is that so?
The Kid: Yeah, she was from Louisiana, and met my father in Texas...
Henrikson: and your father?
The Kid: He was a lawyer

Boone: That's a dangeous combination if I ever saw one

Henrikson: You're boss [Tomahawk] is dead...
Boone: I never had anything to do with him I was after you since you passed through Butte.
Henrikson: You were the one with the buntline
Boone: That was me... I'm sorry about Maggie Frost
Henrikson: It couldn't be helped
(Cut away to the front of the barn, three shots ring out)

(Talia Rostov's room is being broken down)
The Kid: Can you climb down
Talia: I'm not big enough
(The kid start to take off his overalls)
Talia: I'm not big enough for that either
(Talia is lowered in The Kid's overalls)

Outlaw #1: (Shooting a barrel) .44 Dragoon, definitely the most bad@$$ gun in the wor- (The barrel explodes a moment later)
Henrikson: (Tucks the Howdah under his poncho)Not quite...

Heavily Scarred Outlaw: You had best put away that scattergun, there's no way you can kill me without- (Henrikson fires the Howdah, the bullet goes through the outlaw's head through the bar window behind him, Ricochets off the ceiling, bounces off the floor and rolls around the rim of the cuspidor before falling in the basin)

Or that it would at least start a trend

The worlds needs new Westerns. But, of course, there's a simple reason why Hollywood doesn't make Westerns anymore...


Westerns are too Right-Wing for the Hollywood lefties.

You right LoneWolf, the worlds needs new Westerns. Last one I remember seeing was Silverado, pretty good flick.

You are probably correct. Westerns are all about things like justice, independance, freedom, and honor, something the leftists know nothing about.

I saw nothing particularly liberal about The Missing. It just wasn't very good.

I think westerns have merely run their course. What other genre is consistently set in so narrow a time and place? There are "space westerns" like Star Wars and Serenity, but traditional westerns are hard to continue.

By that standard, we should've run the course for musketeer movies, pirate movies, WWII movies, etc...
