Not just knives but your basic kitchen sink in Natural Born Killers diner scene (I do love the POV of the knife, though!)
(It’s A) Swashbuckler
I still want a knife-harness like Cudjo uses.
(I also still want a pair of Rollerball - the original version gloves in case anyone is interested in sending me a Christmas present.)
Silverado
Inglourious Basterds
The Godfather (Luca Brasi)
Machete
Couldn’t place the movie… I had vague memories of two guys in a fight, a belt knife held to the protagonist’s face, someone pleading with him not to kill him and him nicking the guy’s face as he moved away.
Platoon
Okay, swords, but they’re technically just long knives.
Errol Flynn 1, Captain Blood
Errol Flynn 2, Robin Hood
Errol Flynn 3, Don Giovanni
Gene Kelly, The Three Musketeers
There was an early 3D movie The Charge at Feather River (1953) where one of the 3D effects was of a bunch of people throwing knives “directly into the camera” (as it were). But the standout feature of that movie that made it to YouTube is the now famous The Very First Wilhelm Scream (no clip of the knives that I could find.)
A nitpick but Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid was hardly Peckinpah’s last film. It was the tenth of the fifteen movies he directed. His final movie was The Osterman Weekend in 1983.
You are, of course, absolutely right. I meant to have said it was his last western.
Fritz Lang’s M.
Chinatown.
I must have seen Coburn on TV before this, and it looks like he may have been in at least one more movie before it, but this definitely put him on my map. Several others in the cast got their boost into stardom here as well. Love that scene!
Indeed!
===============================
There’s an older Western I can’t even remember the title for that had a guy (I think) sitting on the porch of an isolated farm/ranch house at dusk or in very low light and he had to have been yards away from the nearest bushes or undergrowth or someplace another might be hiding. All of a sudden a knife sticks up in the banister next to his head and even as the kid I was at the time I have forever since wondered how the hell somebody could throw a knife from that distance and have it stick up next to this guy. There must be many other scenes like it, but that one has stuck I my mind to this day.
Does it sound at all familiar to any of you?
