Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean: Bad Bob the Albino

[@CraigFrancisSoto]

Stacy Keach is so good in almost everything I've seen him in. A wonderfully versatile actor who can do comedy,drama,Shakespeare,and everything. What a great little cameo this is. Its what I remember most about this entire movie. Thanks much for posting it.

[@dukenewcombe5226]

Bad Bob drinking the scalding hot coffee right off the fire is too funny. I remember this scene nearly 50 years after first seeing it. One of the all time great cameos.

[@Redwood65]

My favorite scene from the whole movie too😂😂😂! Classic flick. Time to revisit this one.

[@allen5455]

The "real" Bad Bob was a late 19th century Marxist. Eugene Debbs was an associate of Robert Simms, Bad Bob.

[@garybrockwell2031]

Same.🇬🇧📽️🤩😁

[@albertchin1050]

Possibly the most realistic "showdown " scene in a Western.

[@rocksteadyrein6516]

R.I.P. to my step-dad. Today is his birthday, and this was one of his favorite movies. He especially loved this scene, and would often try to look bad-ass when he said, "smother it in onions!"

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

RIP to your step dad . The first time I saw this movie was at a drive in theater in Springfield Missouri . ATB to you .

I love this story so much when I was a young man I drove from California all the way to Langtry Texas the visit Judge Roy Bean Museum the saloon courthouse and lot of the building they're still there it was really cool things actually standing in Langtry bellied Up to that old bar....

[@guarddog318]

Well... I guess we can all figure out why Bob wasn't known as "Smart Bob". 🤣

I like this scene, Stacy Keach is great & funny as Bad Bob for the few minutes he's in the film😄👍

WHAT? Bad Bob was Stacy Keach? woooo, i thought that was a real albino actor hahaha XD

[@thomasbrown7420]

Same here!

[@LordZontar]

Stacy Keach must have had a real blast playing Albino Bad Bob. He just goes at 30,000 feet over the top and the director lets him have his way. Makes for one of the funniest scenes in the movie. That was John Carradine-level scene munching.

[@danatcanyonlake583]

Left out the best lines - That wasn't a fair fight" - "If he wanted a fair fight he should gone somewhere else!"

[@johnhenrick2298]

What a character! And what a dirty laugh! Bad Bob is so bad he's cool. Like someone else said, I wish they'd make a movie of Bad Bob. I've watched this a dozen times and it's great every time.

I'll have to say Bad Bob was one badass dude. He drank that hot coffee right off the fire from the pot!

Agreed, and not a second is wasted. I've also noticed for the first time,when he walks over to the coffee pot he walks over the guys neatly hoed vegetable patch. He was that bad.

There was a line just after this, something like: "Judge, you didn't give Bob much of a chance", Judge Bean replied "He never had a chance after he decided to come looking for me"

[@tigerboy1966]

Not really a cult film, but definitely a cult scene and a cult cameo, for gentleman of a certain age. Acted out many times on my primary school playground circa 1976 when the film was shown on British TV. And EVERYONE wanted to be BAD BOB. We couldn't remember the dialogue- so the game mainly involved slapping everyone in sight, sreaming "I'm Bad Bob n' am a gonna kill you" and then falling flat on your face. Great fun when you're a nine year old boy.

This is the first time I've seen this scene since seeing it at the theater when it came out. Had it wrong. I remembered him shooting a horse, but had "misremembered" it being his own horse. Loved the drinking the scalding coffee straight from the pot. Have to admit that Roy Bean shooting him in the back was a surprise at the time, but in retrospect, just about the smartest move a man could have made against such pure, unadulterated evil! lol Read about the first hundred or so comments. All but one were about Bad Bob. Only one mentioned Paul Newman. But, then, I guess the scene really was about Bad Bob after all. lol

Bad Bob was a pretty tough albino to be able to endure the desert sun without factor 100 sunblock.

[@unnaturalselection8330]

So, my theory is that Albino Bob became "Bad Bob", due to a combination of being an exceptionally pale dude with a predilection to skin cancer and being stuck in a treeless sun scorched environment. Also, by the fire in his beady little eyes, you can tell the man has an awful case of the haemorrhoids.
