106RR - "This movie [HEARTBREAK RIDGE] was a cheap remake of "The Sands of Iwo Jima" in every respect except for that line.
... he [Eastwood] also hires the best location people in the business. Pale Rider and Unforgiven were great."
PALE RIDER was just a very thinly disguised remake of SHANE. Even some of the lines and scenes were lifted from the flick, SHANE.
Don't know if Eastwood is a "vegan" or not, but he despises hunters and hunting, and expressed those sentiments in a long feature interview of him in the Los Angeles Times' Sunday Calendar section, several years ago.
He's also no great friend of the Second Amendment, although he owns quite a few firearms. Okay for him and his buds in "the Business" but not for you and me.
