"Handkerchief" knife-fighting scene with big Bowie knives from Walter Hill's 1980 western "The Long Riders" between bandit Cole Younger (David Carradine) and half-breed Cherokee Sam Starr (James Remar) in a Texan saloon. The pistol-wielding lady is the "Outlaw Queen" Belle Starr (Pamela Reed).

Deep Dive Trivia Bit: James Remar later played the father of the titular serial killer in Showtime's "Dexter". On that same show David Carradine's brother Keith portrayed a famous FBI profiler in the series' seasons 2 and 4.

I remember seeing this movie when it came out. I saw it at the drive in, it was the second feature . This movie never got the credit it deserved. The cinematic angle of the opening scene when they were all riding in hard on those horses was breath taking, it really drew you in. Even though it was not the feature film that night, I can not recall the other movie. One of my favorite films .

Long Riders....one of the 10 best westerns ever made. Genius for casting four sets of real-life brothers to play the leads: the Keach's, Carradine's, Quaid's, and Guest's. The best part of the movie? Too many to name but this one is certainly up there. Best part of this scene... 3:58 when Star takes Carridine's knife to the cow of his leg, spits out the cloth and smashes the mug of beer with his fist before falling to the ground.

I saw this movie when it was released in Australia in early 1981 I think. I agree with you on it being in the top 10 all time great westerns... Ry Cooder's sountrack simply was wonderful. My favourite scene/sequence was the botched bank hold up near the end when the townspeople fired upon the gang as they tried to escape. The slowmo sequences and sounds of the whistling gunshots were brilliant...

A friend who carried around the reputation of being a bad ass with a blade explained the whole idea of a knife fight in just one sentence. "If you're going to use a knife in a fight, the guy you're fighting never knows about it or sees it til it's buried in his ribcage." Sounds more realistic that way and definitely leaves no romance to the idea of wielding a blade.

And while l love Hill’s movies, and there are even Westerns of his I like more, this is one of my top favorites of his, and I think the only Western of his (actually taking place in the old West, because as many say, including Hill himself, *every* Walter Hill movie is really a Western, even if in disguise). Saw it in the theater and as part of my birthday gift disc haul to myself, just got it on Blu-ray.

Thanks for posting. People have been so spoon-fed all these fancy and slick knife fights that they don't understand the reality of it. They aren't pretty nor fancy. It's ugly, sick and brutal and pretty darn sloppy too. In a "duel" type scenario, this comes pretty close. I would give honorable mention to the Taxicab scene in "Oldboy". Films like the Bourne series and Man from Nowhere are pretty cool, well shot and edited but not necessarily realistic. Valid techniques under ideal circumstances.

@MariaMartinez-researcher 2 жыл бұрын

The martial arts advisors, David Chow and Kam Yuen, did their best to make them look realistic. Many martial arts practitioners participated in the series, as background actors and action doubles. However, the realism of fight scenes at the time was subject to constraints of regulations: they could put like 4 minutes of fighting per episode, and the show was meant to be watched by children too, so... And the show's central idea was silent peace, not killing everyone while yelling. Also, realism in modern martial arts films is another arguable matter. David Chow strived for the scenes he choreographed to look realistic in the sense that kung fu masters didn't look superhuman, because martial arts aren't magical. It seems that now most martial arts movies set not only superhuman, but inhuman standards.
