Watching High Chaparral reruns......
In the opening scene a bunch of cowhands are trying to ride a bronc. In the scene, clear as day, for a couple seconds, is a blue pickup with a white shell and a sedan parked next to it. They are next to a building/house about 100 yards from the scene. Got a good laugh from that. A little more obvious than the wrong guns for the time period in most westerns.

Re: Watching High Chaparral reruns......
I assume this is a period western, and not a "modern" western ? (No Country for Old Men being like a modern western)

Yeah. It ran about the time Bonanza and Gunsmoke were on the air. Set in late 1800's Tuscon. Not complaining, just kinda funny.Streetstar wrote:I assume this is a period western, and not a "modern" western ? (No Country for Old Men being like a modern western)
I was also watching Open Range last week and in the big shootout at the end, Costner's character starts shooting his sixgun and fires nine rounds fanning it after already firing a couple rounds. Still liked that movie.

The editors of many films do not seem to be able to count. I am sure that he did not shoot 9 from a SAA for real now did he. Not many people even catch those little mistakes.

Re: Watching High Chaparral reruns......
jkbrea,
I caught the tailend of a "Daniel Boone" episode, with Jimmy Dean in it. It was a color episode, and Jimmy was walking away from the camera. The sky was beautiful, with lots of clear blue yonder & some puffy white clouds....and a nice long, white condensation trail, too. I guess that all of these things are so commonplace that we don't notice when they are out of place.

Re: Watching High Chaparral reruns......
That was a strange series, the finale was really random and confusing. Johnny Ringo was another one, where Case, the storekeeper, was killed in one episode, then alive the next.
You can spot lots of mistakes in the older TV shows. A few episodes of "Combat" showed 1960's cars driving on a busy highway, in the middle of WW2 France. Another episode showed a jet liner flying in the background!

I used to love watching The High Chaparral when I was a kid! Big John Cannon, Buck, Blue and Monaletto, I almost think I liked it better than Gunsmoke; another good one that I enjoyed was Streets of Laredo.

I'm with BruceB on this series. She's one of the characters that are still alive too.

Re: Watching High Chaparral reruns......
+1 on Linda! I remember being rankled that Big John didnt appreciate her more - thinking "...idiot" If in the area, go over to Old Tucson and the Sonoran Desert Museum, especially taking the Speedway route out of Tucson up over the mountains, over on the flip side of the Tucson Mountains and you see that grand vista looking southwest out over the Saguaro Nat'l Monument toward Kitt Peak (of observatory fame) that's in virtually every episode...and a ton of other westerns...including a lot of Gunsmoke....saguaros in Kansas?
Re: Watching High Chaparral reruns......
I think the problem with that scene, which I've seen mentioned several times as one of those "sixguns that shoots 12 times mistakes" isn't that he shot that many rounds from one gun. He didn't. What they edited out or simply didn't show was transitioning to the second gun. He's clearly shown checking both guns before the fight. It didn't bother me in the least, and the first time I saw it I expected many to miss the fact that he had two guns.Chuck 100 yd wrote:The editors of many films do not seem to be able to count.

Re: Watching High Chaparral reruns......
I remember in the first Lord of the Rings movies, while overall they did very well at keeping out anachronisms and continuity mistakes, that in the first showing there was a car driving by in the deep background as the hobbits were walking across "Middle Earth". They caught it and fixed it, but the first few days it showed, they didn't...

The Foreman, Sam, walked like he had a bad case of jock itch. I liked that series as a kid. Linda Cristal was also in a Charles Bronson movie. I think it was Mr. Majestyk. My favorite episode of the High Chaparral was the one where that former French Resistance fighter who played Lebeau on Hogan's Heroes was a storekeeper and he had a man working for him who knew Savate. Buck got his tail kicked two times before Manolito helped him understand how to handle the other guy's tactics. In the end, Buck won.
