Not sure if messing with me or not.   HT and I have often brought up that flick. Maybe often enough where someone might mock me for it.    Â
Anyway, I always say I'd wish they'd remake that flick with a modern spin on it. HT says they would ruin it if they tried to.

Danny Trejo has played a bad guy a few times.

The only citation that means anything. He was shot a couple of times and got a Purple Heart. That doesnâ€t count for anything? Iâ€d think that would matter more than the ribbon.
I should not have posted. I'm old school and don't believe in 'fruit salad' or any kind of bolo badges other than CAR/CIB.

Leo Gordon has to have played the bad guy in more movies than any other actor. I don't think anyone else even comes close.

I know that dude. No, not a Jeff Spicoli line.Â
He was on a recent episode of Canon. I think he was the dude who came back to Mayberry to give Andy Taylor a shotgun.

He was on a recent episode of Canon. I think he was the dude who came back to Mayberry to give Andy Taylor a shotgun. He was mainly in Westerns, back in the "Golden Age". He actually spent 5 years in San Quentin prison for armed robbery. His bio said he read about every book in the library there.  Roles in everything from Andy Griffith to playing John Dillinger. One director called him "the scariest man I have ever met". As usual, he was a real nice guy in private life. "Night of the Grizzly" was a great role for him.
I miss these old guys.

Dern hands down. SOB killed John Wayne, and did it like a big *****. Nuff said.
Rickman would be #2
Third mentioned Dexter Spivey. That Oldman scene lasted about 5 minutes but wow. The real question about that movie is was the Oldman/Spivey scene better than the Siciliano scene? Or the hotel scene (both of them)?

Well not so much a modern remake/exact replica, but maybe something of the same premise but with a modern feel to it. Get a great cast. I really think it would work.

I looked this dude up. He worked forever. A real work horse. I'll keep an eye out for him as I watch old tv/movies.Â
