Jill was a knockout as well. Little Pollock had class. Wicked with that pea shooter he used as well.

I don't call blacks the N word, Italians W--s, Or any other ethnicities derogatory names.
As a Pole, don't call me Pollock.
Thank you.

A pollock is a fish. Just saying. (not often we have to correct spelling on an ethnic slur)

Having married into a Polish family, and my kids being 1/4 Polish, and life members of the PNA, I have to say Polish slurs went out a loooong time ago, at least around here anyway.

A very bad remake, Sahara. Jim Belushsi vs Bogart.

Wow! That one's been remade a bunch of times. I have only seen the Bogart version.

Rio Bravo 1959 John Wayne and Dean Martin vs Eldorado 1966 John Wayne and Robert Mitchum. Not billed as a remake, but exact same plot. Another near toss-up, both great movies, funny, great supporting casts, but have to give the edge to Eldorado just for having Mitchum (and his Brother).

Which brings up another thing about John Wayne movies: part of the fun is watching how he re-uses the same actors over and over in different roles (sometimes good guys, sometimes bad guys) and identifying his family members used in movies.

I always liked actors like Steve McQueen who did as much of their own stunt work as was possible.
The driver in the original GI60 really did all his own driving. The huge accident where he almost cuts the front end off the Mustang on a pole wasn't in the script. It just happened and he kept going.
I can't see Nicky Cage doing that or without stuntmen and at the time, limited AI.
They still have the Mustang from the original on display.

Steve was Mr.Cool in my book!

Spelling doesn't matter, I knew what he meant.
I grew up with it as a kid and it still comes up amongst the ignorant.

I thought Steve McQueen was pretty darn good in a most of things he did, but he made a lousy cowboy in the show Wanted Dead or Alive. He slurred his words to often.

You know the story about the gun he used?

It was a Winchester Model 1892.
Problem was, the show was set in the 1870's.

Also, the gun was a 44-40 caliber, but the cartridges in his belt were 45-70. They looked bigger.
