    I'd say High Plains Drifter, Play Misty for Me, The Beguiled, Pale Rider are also Clint Eastwood horror films.

      For a man, The Beguiled is kind of the ULTIMATE horror movie...although at the beginning, ironically, he probably thought he had found paradise...

    Criminally underrated thriller.
    Bujold stars in an underrated 70's medical themed thriller Coma. Allison Eastwood played the oldest daughter.

      Coma's whole premise had a "hm, I could see that happening" ring to it.

    The killer is this film was the sheriff in Friday the 13th Part 5. Clint got kind of close to the genre with his directorial debut Play Misty for Me (1971), more of a thriller with some horror-type undertones but I would've liked to see him do more horror-like stuff later on. Waaaay too many westerns... lol Two of his early movies were actually horror, although he only had tiny parts in them, Tarantula (1955) and Revenge of the Creature (1955). Bujold was great in Coma (1978).

      Yes Revenge of the Creature, totally forgot he was in that! And even knew it too. The poster is even in Back to the Future III in the background while Marty is talking about Clint Eastwood.

      High Plains Drifter (1973), which Clint starred in and directed, has some horror elements within its Western exterior.

    Great vid guys this movie had a curse on it for me I tried at least 4 times to watch this and honestly the powers that be wouldn't let me finish it lol.
    First time we rented it the tape was damaged about 20 mins into it so that was that then we tried again and family visited without warning...so it got turned off...then the movie was on TV so I recorded it.. my mum god bless her stopped the recording half way through when the news came on...That was not funny me and my dad watched about 40 mins of it then the recording was stopped we went mad...then the last time I tried to watch it my dvd player broke no shit! So this one Clint Eastwood film that I WILL watch lol😂😂😂😂😂 awesome review I preferred Adams music to the score well better... 😅😅Clints Greasy arse 😂😂😂😂 a Pervy film though top sleaze 😅😅😅 I was laughing at you guys laughing 👏

    Haha. When I was a kid and this came out. It came out a few months after Sudden impact, which was my introduction to the Dirty Harry franchise, and I used to get tightrope confused with Sudden Impact. I’ve only caught bits and pieces of this one, so I really need to watch it all the way through. Love your review:)

    Love your channel and your love of British Beer. Over here in the UK we love our ales. What a fantastic, funny review. I can't watch it now without laughing, thinking of your Clint Eastwood impersonations 🤣 Adam is right though, should of had a synth intro instead of that stupid jazz thing. Justin's "Maybe I'll take you bowling" line had me in stitches 😆

    • @FrightfullyForgotten
      @FrightfullyForgotten  Před měsícem +1

      We love MOST types of beer, not really sours so much. But British Ales, German lagers all seem boring when compared to this new fad of super hoppy high IBU IPA's and stuff. but those English styles especially bitters are really hard to nail, we appreciate them for the complexity even though they seem like "simple" beers.

  • @parisgreen4600
    @parisgreen4600 Před 4 měsíci +1

    I saw this in the theater when it was new (yes, I'm that old!). I think the jazz score is Eastwood's influence since he's a huge fan, but yeah, the synth score works much better.
    This might make a good double feature with Charles Bronson's "Ten to Midnight".

    • @FrightfullyForgotten
      @FrightfullyForgotten  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Yes that would make a great double feature! Also we were talking behind the scenes about the Jazz probably being a Eastwood choice maybe, even though he didn't direct it.

    The Eiger Sanction is a really good film but The Good The Bad and The Ugly is one of my all time favorite films lol. As for Tightrope, seems like I watched bits and pieces on cable. Looking at imdb, that Richard Tuggle guy only directed one other film and has only three screenplay credits, crazy how brutal the movie business can be.

    Clint's a big Jazz fan so I bet he insisted on the music, an he clearly wanted this character to be as far removed from Dirty Harry as possible. This is apparent as in how he barely shoots his gun.

    Despite many opportunities,

    It's been on British TV a lot.
    British TV must have shown nearly all of Eastwood's films
    from '71-'97 at some point.
    I own most of them
    but have missed Tightrope
    somehow.

    I would really like to see you guys review the movie "Ten to Midnight" from 1983. It is a serial killer suspense thriller too. Charles Bronson plays the detective who tries to protect his daughter played by Lisa Eilbacher from the creepy killer!!!
