We were just talking about him a few weeks ago

I didn’t realize that he was still alive at the time

He’s in the Kirk-Fu zot picture

[SaveFerris]

Every Which Way But Loose too

(He’s in the Kirk-Fu zot picture)

Lol...the what?

[wny]

He’s dead Jim.

[SaveFerris]

Just saw that 2 weeks ago

Then, Uncle Leo tried to capture The Outlaw Josey Wales

[SaveFerris]

Hang on - it’s coming 🤣

[SaveFerris]

(O’Connell was a friend of Eastwood and appeared in a number of Eastwood’s films, including “Paint Your Wagon,” “High Plains Drifter,” “The Outlaw Josey Wales,” “Every Which Way but Loose” and “Any Which Way You Can.”)

Oh, there it is.....

He was pretty good

[SunkenCiv]

Besides “High Plains Drifter”, he was one of the biker doofuses in “Any Which Way...” (by chance, I watched a snip, the diner fight, an hour or so ago).

[KierkegaardMAN]

I think it was High Plains Drifter, he lathered up Clint’s face and then started sweating bullets.

[Justa]

He ferried Bill Quantrell as well.

[Charles Martel]

He’s dead Jim.

He miscalculated.

[SunkenCiv]

[Schermerhorn] ls it your proposal, Mr Rumson, that we knock out the stage driver, steal a coach and kidnap six women?

Sounds better every time l hear it.

[Schermerhorn] You don’t see what’s wrong with it?

What?

[Schermerhorn] lf you don’t consider assault and battery, grand larceny and kidnapping wrong, what the hell do you consider wrong?

[Mark17]

Thank you for posting the picture. I think that was from the high plains drifter. Otherwise, I didn’t know his name. If I remember correctly, Clint Eastwood was also a Korean War veteran.

Lol...the what?"

[Bikkuri]

Oops.. forgot to ping you 😉

[Macho MAGA Man]

Yep. He was the nervous barber holding a razor.

“Ten cent now or later, what’s the dif”

“Eau de Lilac water, only 10-cents more. The ladies love it. Shall I make it an even dollar?”

High Plains Drifter

[SaveFerris]

Kirk-Fu zot!!!

[Macho MAGA Man]

The Kirk Drop Kick:

The name pretty much says it all. Kirk would kick an opponent in the chest with both of his legs. This may be an effective method of taking someone down, but it would often result in Kirk falling to the ground along with them.

The Wall of Destruction:

Here’s the scene: The Captain and Andorian delegate Thelev, have resorted to duking it out in the halls of the Enterprise. But Kirk knows how to use the walls to his advantage, so instead of just attacking the alien head on, he uses the wall as a jumping off point to fling himself in the alien’s direction – though usually missing and just falling on the floor…

I think I have figured out his cause of death.
