LongHair1957 Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 "Hey Hombre, You shot me full of holes!" Anybody remember that one??? Newman plays an white man that was raised on the San Carlos reservation and he conciders himself more indian than white. Good flick, Main bad guy Richard Boone. Good story..some good shootout scenes.

Nik Habicht Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 One of the first movies I ever saw where the protagonist dies at the end. It rocked my pre-teenage world.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Loved the scene riding on the stagecoach and Newman was talking about eating dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 The first time I saw this movie was at Ohio University at the "MIA Theater" on campus. It was my freshman year, 1967, and for 25 cents you could watch a movie in the auditorium, "Movie In Auditorium = MIA". It is still a favorite.

George D Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Di Silva: Hey Hombre, compliments on your shooting. You have put a hole in me. Newman: I was trying to do better. You must have moved. Di Silva: You give us the money and half the water or we'll shoot the woman. Newman: Ok, shoot her. Di Silva: That nice soft woman, you don't care if we shoot her? Newman: Go ahead and shoot her. She's nothing to me. Boone: The main thing is that you can't leave unless I let you. Just remember that. Newman: I have a question. Boone: What? Newman: How you gonna get back down that hill? Newman: When I go past the Mexican he'll come out. If he touches his gun, shoot him. Billy: In the back? Newman: I'll ask him to turn around. Boone; Well now, what do you suppose hell is going to look like? Newman: We all die, it's only a matter of when. First of the "reality" westerns and still a classic.

Stu Love Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Hombre was (still is) a great film, IMO, with many great character studies. There's a lot about human nature in that one, and the way it was done reminds me of what a Hemingway story would probably be like if it were made into a western movie. The shootout scene at the end was excellent, with the Mexican asking before he dies "I would like at least to know his name..." and the guy (who couldn't shoot the shotgun well) says "He was called..(so-and-so)" and then that was the end of the movie. Great flick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
