Outstanding interview, especially when LQ describes Sam's process.

[@TubenIt83]

Great interview. LQ is a real character and a national treasure.

RIP to L.Q. Jones

[@richardhammer6559]

Was watching him on the the Virginian (Belden) the other day when I learned that he passed on .What a career. RIP

[@andrewburgess633]

This is the best interview- LQ was probably the sanest on a Peckinpah set

[@angelocos1]

Thanks for posting this. I saw the Wild Bunch for the first time at 14. I didn't know why, but I was amazed by it. Having LQ Jones sharing his view on Peckinpah in a full interview is amazing.

[@timothylines631]

sam, would create a seen ,that put you in time and anywhere he wanted. he was that good.

R.I.P. Justus Ellis McQueen, Jr. (a.k.a. L. Q. Jones) (1927-2022)

[@bethbartlett5692]

This man did one of his best performances as a character that was a "split personality, yappy, unnerving, nare-do-well" on a Series show, Cimarron Strip, starring Stuart Wiseman, "The Search". He cracks me up and it was award worthy. My favorite "bad-guy"., the one and only, *LQ Jones.* God bless his Soul with Happy Bliss Eternally.

[@tonydiogo2189]

good on LQ. seen ya plenty over the years ... enjoyed every minute. 🙂

[@Bryan8329]

Loved his scene in Casino with De Niro in his office

[@tonym994]

"you're a guest here,.. but you still think you're home". he sure made his time on screen count .a Western w/ out horses. Nevada is pretty far West, right? Scorsese and Peckinpah. 2 violent directors.

[@frankiemontero]

LQ held his own against DeNiro in that scene. He killed it! R.I.P.

[@SalamiKing7]

Thanks for this! Interesting man, LQ. :)

[@gfblack5307]

Love these interviews. Thank.

[@ranchokitty1]

Two different schools of directing, Sam's, and Woody Allen's who said, hire wonderful people and stay out of their way.

[@tonyd7601]

Mr. Jones at 12:45 you said "if I'm so damned smart how come I ain't rich?" I think you are rich and you are smart. Really enjoy how he explains Mr Peckinpah's methods.

[@RobinSchoutenRS]

Absolutely! I love L.Q's sense of humor. He's a great storyteller. Did you watch the interview with R.G. Armstrong on my channel? He's also full of stories.

[@jeffmill999]

God, I want LQ's shirt..I saw it at the theater when I was boy...

[@neildaly2635]

Thank you for this better than a hog killing!

[@nancybreshears6456]

Alias Smith and Jones. He was on that show.

[@hankworden3850]

Strother Martin was in Deadly Companions

[@RobinSchoutenRS]

That's right, In Sam's first movie.

[@hankworden3850]

@@RobinSchoutenRS these are great interviews!

[@RobinSchoutenRS]

@@hankworden3850 I agree, thanks for liking them. Hopefully they give more insights in Sam's work and life.

[@ethanbradley2089]

@@RobinSchoutenRS that's up for debate. I question Marlon Brando being credited as director. I cannot imagine him giving anyone any kind of direction. And you have to wonder why he tried getting Coppla & Scorsese at first to produce. And then he got Kubrick but when Kubrick heard Sam was coming on to write and produce he backed out as did they. I'm talking about One Eyed Jake of course.

[@ranchokitty1]

yeah, yeah but hes best role was as Chong's stepfather in Up in Smoke,' Maybe you can start with strawberries and work your way up to those god damn bananas!"

[@tonym994]

R.G Armstrong is another.

Here is R.G. Armstrong's interview, it's great: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roOli42Mq8h5i7c

[@allend2749]

this man loves to hear himself talk, doesn't he!

[@MrBastilleDay]

And I like hearing him talk also.

[@HarryMarsee-fw9ot]

I was always a fan of the Westerns and I always waited for the bad guy to show up. Now, you've got to admit that all of the stories were DULL until the bad guy showed up. I wouldn't want to work with Sam Peckinpah because he was a total ass.

[@SusanH4626]

I disagree with her. LQ was well established before any Peckinpa movie and so was Ben Johnson!

[@mark-shane]

a crazy insane man Peckinpah
