Jeremy Renner had a Lever action Marlin 45-70 with a forward mount scout style scope.
Watching Shane is nostalgic for sure. I view it through the optic of its time, and I try to determine what future productions learned, stole or paid homage to it.
Tuco mixing and matching to put a revolver together in The Good, The Bad, The Ugly...Kevin Kline doing the best he can with a dollar revolver with a wandering cylinder In Silverado and then in almost loving tribute John Wick assembling museum piece weaponry to get back in the fight.. All of these movies respected the source material, and hoped the audience was sophisticated enough to appreciate it.
I am currently watching the Replacement Killers, it hits the write tone, choreography and balance, nestled comfortably between the Killers and John Wick.
Thanks for the heads up on Monte Walsh, I will check out the Lee Marvin version.
