TZONE - "Man I love his movies, more great one liners in 10 minutes than most of the crap tinsle town puts out all year."
Don't forget, those "great one liners" are written by writers sitting in front of a typewriter, or keyboard. Eastwood, and other actors, just read them, albeit some actors "read" the lines better than others.
As for the flick,
JOE KIDD, the script was written by the very fine writer, Elmore Leonard, and his original title was "SINOLA." Leonard is one of the few writers, novels and screenplays, who knows a fair amount about firearms.
FWIW.
