So many General Lees actually got destroyed making those jumps. I would only ever do that with a car that had a full frame. No junky unibody! lol

Just love the realism in 'Blazing Saddles" when, at the end, the heroes ride off into the sunset.

Recent movies have become almost unwatchable for me, with all the crazy, loud unnecessary NOISE! And if you turn it down, you can`t understand the dialogue. Guy gets punched in the face (with little effect) but it sounds like an explosion of some sort! AMAZING what you can convince the masses is desireable. Anything that can stir the senses in brain dead people I guess.

And here I thought it was just me. I've found most characters in movies whisper with lots of background noise, to the point that almost the entire movie is whispering. I can't pick out the words from the noise, so unless there are subtitles, watching the movie is a waste of time. And I've tried the sound amplification with the microphone at the TV and use bluetooth to my earphones, but doesn't help much.

Maybe it's why on the cheaper flights they recycle the air more frequently. That deoderizer can't be cheap! My Dad gets good and sick every time he comes back from Europe.

I guess, that Anny Okly or whatever her name was COULD have hit just about anything she pleased off the back of a horse.

Annie Oakley was stage name from Cincinnati neighborhood . Great shooter

...'John Wayne' was a good guy. ..

People think Steve McQueen wasn't an egotistical womanizer of the highest caliber. To make matters worse, "The Magnificent Seven" wasn't really about him.

LOL, how about riding a galloping horse, shooting over the shoulder and dropping the villain or villains?
And at that usually a quick '(but always accurate) 'snap shot'! LOL.

It was usually Herb Parsons who shot the coin in mid air for a post-war Western movie or show. btw, Sammy Davis Jr was and is considered by many to have been the 'Fastest gun in Hollywood'. I believe Glenn Ford was one who agreed. See Sammy dazzle young Mark in that 'Rifleman' episode.

... In the opening chase scene from a 1950's movie "Thunder Road", the star rolls his car completely over while making a U-turn, then tears off in the opposite direction without even the need to restart the engine.

Fuel injection. (Know the bit about Spitfire vs ME-109 in a dogfight 'roll'?)

So many General Lees actually got destroyed making those jumps. ...

Seems obvious that every jump was filmed from both sides perpendicular, and quartering to and away from cameras. IIRC in an episode, you see each jump in slo-mo from several angles. In another episode those views are often just shown in a different order. The bridge or other launch-pad may vary at lift-off, but the mid-air shots were heavily recycled from show to show, and season to season.

Ok,I won't but this just might be worse. I came in a while back while the wife was watching a tv show with some hot actresses in it. A new face came on scene and I said "wth is Bruce Jenner doing there"? Wife told me that's Daisy Duke(Catherine Bach).
