trivia

My Chemical Romance named a song on Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge after the movie. A Static Lullaby also has a song named Hang 'Em High.

"Hang 'Em High" is the name of a multiplayer map in Halo: Combat Evolved.

Also, there is a level in Crash Bandicoot: Warped named "Hang 'Em High."

Why don't some of these link back or have there own pages? Genres. {{punk rock Hardcore-punk}}

You have this quote from Bruce Dern: "by riding full-tilt toward the hanging Eastwood while pulling out his knife, cutting the noose, dismounting, and catching Eastwood as he fell, all in a single take with no cut."  However, if you watch the scene the description is wrong. Halfway riding toward hanging Eastwood, there is an obvious cut. Then, when Johnson cuts the rope, he does NOT catch Eastwood. Eastwood simply drops to the ground. This description by Dern should be removed.

odd beard moment with Miller

Just watched this last night and in the fight scene where Miller tries to escape on the dune, after Jed tackles him, he at one point appears with the long beard he eventually grows in prison, then, after he is subdued, his face returns to the stubbled state it was in before the fight. Surprised this made it through editing. Muniche (talk) 14:42, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Gender relations

This film touches on some very interesting components of consent. There is the drunk who is hung for either simply adultery, or perhaps rape and adultery, and wishes to blame the devil from the bottle. There are many interesting moments between Jed and the Judge and the prostitutes. And the interactions with Rebecca, a rape survivor, are disturbing to say the least. Would be neat to include some discussion of this on the page. Muniche (talk) 14:47, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bruce Dern's description of Ben Johnson's stunt

"Actor Bruce Dern has credited co-star Ben Johnson with accomplishing "the greatest single stunt ever performed in the history of movies", by riding full-tilt toward the hanging Eastwood while pulling out his knife, cutting the noose, dismounting, and catching Eastwood as he fell, all in a single take with no cut.[14]"

Dern's description of the published scene is false. In the final cut, Johnson does ride "full-tilt" toward Eastwood, does pull out his knife, then hesitates briefly before cutting the rope. Eastwood then falls to the ground. At no time does Johnson catch Eastwood. Johnson dismounts and tends to Eastwood after he has already hit the ground -- hard.

Having suffered the Mandela Effect, Dern is certainly entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts. I respect the horsemanship Johnson displayed, but this "stunt" is average at best and absolutely pales beside Buster Keaton's most benign stunts.

This entry needs amending. 2600:1700:6EB0:4D10:71D9:487A:92B0:53CC (talk) 18:39, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
