thanks the original was better. i saw it first without permission when i was 7. i was scared so as soon as i got halfway through it i ran into my room and locked the door. i left the movie on so my parents found out and grounded me. i later watched it when i was 15.

I think some of the best movies ever made.... were made in the 70's.

I borrowed mine from a great old western actors stage name, Slim Pickens. He was a rodeo clown who was told money wise being a rodeo clown was slimpickins. He was in many moveis with John Wayne, he played the shotgun totin' deputy in One-Eyed Hacks with Marlon Brando, the H-bomb ridin' cowboy in Dr. Strangelove. I loved the play on words. He wasn't slim by any means but then again, neither am I!

Yep, he was in Blazing Saddles and also in Honeysuckle Rose with Willie Nelson. He was Willies guitar player Garland.

He was great in Blazing Saddles.

I read once that he was one of the few western actors who could handle all the necessary leather reins involved in a stagecoach team of eight horses, or maybe it was a team of six.

You know Ray, Ben Johnson was another TRUE cowboy actor. He was a great supporting actor in many a good movie.

Slim Pickens also did a couple non western movies.
He was a riot in The Getaway with Steve McQueen and Ali McGraw!
I laughed so hard at the scene where he drove McQueen & McGraw across the border into Mexico.

Yep, he was one of my favorites. He was an Okie. He took a herd of horses out to Hollywood and John Ford, I believe it was, hired him for the movie.

John Ford......another great Cowboy!!

Thanks for the avatar Mitch! I love old westerns especially the great character actors like Slim Pickens, Chill Wills, Strother Martin, and Edgar Buchanan. My favorite western is McLINTOCK and has those last three in it.

That movie is an absolute classic! I saw part of the filming over at San Marcos in the early 1970s.
And Dale is right, when Slim drove them across the 'border' and calmly says 'building material' to describe the load of junk he had in that old pickup! A great line.

Good one , Mitch.

I always liked Slim Pickins part in Sam Peckinpah's "Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid"..... its also my favorite Billy the Kid movie.

orvet · Post by **orvet** » Sun Jul 24, 2011 8:26 pm

Thanks for the links Mitch.
I watched about half the movie from the links.

Slim-
Edgar Buchanan was a great actor too.

Did you know he was a dentist before he started acting?
He made my granddad's false teeth.

slimpickins · Post by **slimpickins** » Sun Jul 24, 2011 8:44 pm

That's awesome orvet! His list of movie credits is pretty awesome too. Slim.

Wow, Dale!

What a great piece of trivia!

I believe I recall him playing a dentist in one of the old westerns.
