L.Q. Jones on Sam Peckinpah

InterviewingHollywood.com

[@keithorlandini4919]

L.Q. Jones is still going strong in December 2019 at age 92. Sometimes "The Good Don't Die Young".

[@EBthere]

One of the best! He was excellent in all roles, but when you seen him in a Western he looked right at home....his look, his voice, his mannerism's. Heck, when you think of Westerns or of a Cowboy you gotta think of L.Q. Jones. Thanks for posting this quality piece.

[@brianboisguilbert6985]

Would pay to hear this wonderful man reminisce about his career. What a story teller.

[@race2run]

LQ! One of my favorite bad guys. He was tough allright. And all the rest of the gang, Strother, Warren, Slim, etc., they were great in those westerns and there will never be any more like them.

[@laken.bowles]

I had the pleasure of meeting him... really cool and interesting guy.

[@mybingobrain]

BTW, his scene in Casino with Robert Deniro, which he wrote, should be required viewing for acting students.

[@tarhunta2111]

LQ Jones was perfect in that role.

[@mybingobrain]

LQ is one one the greats! He is also gracious and will talk to you if you run into him. I was lucky enough to have a conversation with him in a grocery store once which I shall always cherish.

[@europroblem]

Great actor and great director. Unmatchable, really.

[@TheShizue777]

L.Q. Jones! Always a welcome sight and what a wonderful storyteller talking about all those much-loved stars. Thank you very much, L.Q. Jones, for sharing your insights. You are absolute right about the number of "classics" Sam Peckinpah produced considering his total number of movies was small. Thank you for pointing that out to us.

[@antonyquarrell753]

LQ Jones what a legend! One of Hollywood's true greats and no movies since 2006 - why on earth is Hollywood neglecting this legend? Major Dundee, Ride the High Country, The Wild Bunch, Iron Angel, Apache Rifles, The Naked and the Dead, Casino, The Edge, Mask of Zorro, White Line Fever - this guy has been in some much can't figure out why today's producers and directors aren;t hiring this guy - get LQ back on the big screen now!!!

[@FCSchaefer]

Marvelous interview of a great actor, the kind we don't have anymore. It has been 30 years since Peckinpah died and he has been truly missed.

[@nelsano3]

LQ is brilliant! A great storyteller. Thanks for this upload.

[@jdsol1938]

LQ directed my favorite dark comedy A BOY AND HIS DOG

[@TheShizue777]

+jdsol1938 Thank you for reminding me about this memorable film. Was this Don Johnson's film debut? Now I feel like ordering a copy. Thanks, jdsol1938!

@@TheShizue777 It's on youtube.

[@culls33]

Slim Pickens was in "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" 1973 after LQ tells this story? and has one of the greatest death scenes ever put on film

[@waynej2608]

That was an intense scene, with Katey Jurado too. Bob Dylan singing Knockin on Heaven's Door. Dying by the creek. SP was a true artist.

[@ronaldh8446]

That truly is one of the best.

[@espenlappebakken3098]

That scene with the death of l. Q Jones's Black Harris and the beautiful way katy jurado looks at slim pickens is so incredibly gorgeous, sweet and heartbreaking. Absolutely amazing ❤️

[@bigwu100]

As the old deputy. Yeah it was poinet.

[@bigwu100]

@@espenlappebakken3098 died as they lived. Life emulating art. And art emulating life. Its the reality of life.

[@amcaesar]

There's a Peckinpah retrospective in New York this weekend. I could eat this stuff up all day.

[@colosal30]

Old school directors were dictators..... Peckinpah was a genious because of the way he portayed reality. Straw Dogs is a good example; in that movie, Dustin Hoffman masterfully performed his best role as an actor.

[@bigwu100]

Genius at work. Crazy at work. Art. Who can say what is what. Its in the mind of the artist. From the mind it has to be drawn into the physical. Lots of room for error but to get it perfect? Well, thats the art. For lack of better word.

[@MrYoungcam]

This is so cool. LQ Jones is one of my favorite character actors. Is there anymore of him talking about his experiences?

[@RobinSchoutenRS]

Yes! Here is the full 42 minute interview with L.Q. Jones for Sam Peckinpah: Man of Iron (1993): kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmW7o2ScmcmVgZY

[@gallantrycrossx1915]

LQ's real name was Justus McQueen. He adopted the name from his character's name in "Battle Cry", don't know why.

[@jennifersman]

Sam started directing Cincinnati Kid, then got fired midway through production, Norman Jewison took over and its credited to him

[@neilrafferty2097]

Had a great cameo in Casino .

[@wheelinthesky300]

LQ should have directed more than one film. If his only entry is any indication, he had an interesting style of his own.

[@cinderellaman7x]

terrific stuff thanx very much

[@Wolfsky9]

A very different time----------with very different men---------so unlike today's men, with a few exceptions, which is one reason why " Hell Or High Water" means so much to me today. -----I grew up to the films of Sam Peckinpah & John Ford --------& " Hell Or High Water" is the ONLY film that comes close. --------------------------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o

[@judydove2431]

RIP 5/29/19, L Q, loved you as a bad boy cowboy, cute as can be🥰

[@culls33]

Slim was in "Pat Garrett" 1973 but Sam never spoke to him on location? doubtful

[@unlearny]

LQ rules, and "A Boy and His Dog," is a classic!

[@dmariecherry4637]

He was inBattle Cry...great actor

[@Wolfsky9]

A master actor & storyteller. -----------------Wolfsky9

How about you go fuck yourself, and fuck your country.

[@B.B.Digital_Forest]

In the near future more Americans will either be living with their parents or homeless. So what's new?

[@tarnsand]

All I have read/interviews about SP and other associates talking about him I think LQ has nailed it down to the ground. LQ Jones, Srother Martin,Slim Pickins were best friends and worked many movies together. IMO they are the finest of tough genuine actors. Thankfully LQ is still active & working. It is true,SP did have his company of actors on his films who admired and tolerated his mood swings. SP was a brilliant director but was actually diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.

[@bluetoad2001]

Wow, dropped Slim like a bad habit. jeeze

[@p47thunderbolt68]

The Cincinnati kid was in 1965 or 66 . Slim Pickens was in the Getaway in 1972 . They had to of spoke some unless Mr. Jones had timetable wrong .

[@ernesto6959]

Bring me the head of Alfredo García, un genio del cine Sam Peckimpah.

[@ethanbradley2089]

LQ Jones is amazing. But given Sam's history it was probably a good thing he didn't try to throttle the man. I think Sam had a better ratio too. Wild Bunch, Pat Garrett, Straw Dogs, Cross of Iron and The Get Away are all classic films and I believe they all ranked in the AFI.

[@RobinSchoutenRS]

I put up this 42 minute interview with L.Q. Jones for Sam Peckinpah: Man of Iron (1993): kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmW7o2ScmcmVgZY

[@ethanbradley2089]

@@RobinSchoutenRS it's a good documentary. I probably watch it twice a year. It's sad he died when he did. I don't know if Sam could've ever been sober. But I like to think he would've got back to making classic films and putting schlock like Convoy behind him. And I'm sure LQ Jones would've had a part. I always get a kick out of his cameo in Casino. For one scene Peckinpah & Scorsese (my favorite directors) worlds collided. I was happy to learn that Jones actually wrote that scene between DeNiro and him, because Scorsese told him he didn't know how to write a western.

[@jimmason1072]

I know he is still alive and was stories he could tell about this time period....happy I was not an actor.....😨....like how he change his name to his first movie character.....from Battle Cry....

[@johnhintz4760]

John Wayne and Ward Bond Were Best friends since they were room mates at USC.they had one common foe,Jack Ford..

[@tinapatton7346]

Ohn one Monument Valley BIG shoot, WW2-vet Ford reduced draft-dodge Duke to tears. And at BIG bully Bond's Dallas, Tx burial, Ford turned to whinin' Andy Devine, and said, "Now YOU'RE the BIGGEST asshole that I know!"

[@ericmalone3213]

Sam Peckinpah made 15 films. I count ten Classics: Noon Wine; Ride The High Country; Major Dundee (the restored version); The Wild Bunch (restored version); The Ballad of Cable Hogue; Straw Dogs; The Getaway; Junior Bonner; Pat Garret & Billy The Kid (restored version); Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia.

[@dannyreyna2821]

It's three fingers jack!

[@mickkemp4780]

slim also turned up in cabel Hogue and the getaway so I think the wonderful lq is being apocraphful.odd though ford did a similar thing to ben Johnson who was outs with ford for many years.

[@tarnsand]

@roedalacket I think LQ meant Slim's kind gesture put him on SP's shite list which apparently everyone was on at least ten times a day. SP was always broke and lived in the trailer in Malibu. Never had a house on that property. Cheers

[@calvinknowles7745]

’lq is a leg end......🌵

[@annelonsdale2968]

Did he act in gunsmoke as james stacy father

[@justinratcliffe947]

The original Sam Elliott

[@buddyvilla7393]

Didn’t Slim Pickens appear in Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid I seem to recall a terribly sad but poignant scene between Slim and Nexican Actress Katy Jurado. So I assume Sam forgave Slim or they mended the break in their friendship. I wasn’t expecting to see LQ Jones in a Nartin Scorsese film. But as others have noted LQ gives an acting lesson in a small but very crucial role!!!

[@wongsifu460]

Peckingpah one of the last Hollywood rebels before the PC brigade took over

[@trenttrip6205]

Ford did around 140 pictures, not 240, but I see his point

[@neilrafferty2097]

Got to disagree ! I think they were all classics .
