Steve McQueen "The Hunter"

Ralph "Papa" Thorson (Steve McQueen), professional bounty hunter, is having a tough day...

[@frankfarago2825]

I saw this move theatrically in Los Angeles right when it came out. It was Steve McQueen's glorious swan song.

[@TheLAGopher]

I also saw this in a theater. I was 12 years old and I and my best friend wanted to be bounty hunters after seeing this film. Never realized that wish. Had to settle for being a cop for the last 20 plus years. Summer 1980 had so many great smaller films that didn't have the fame of The Empire Strikes Back, Airplane, The Blues Brothers, Caddyshack, or The Shining. I loved The Hunter and The Big Red One just as dearly.

[@njuham]

Premiere in Helsinki.

[@sibanought]

I'm 55, and watched this movie when I was a kid - probably younger than 10. I've always remembered and loved this scene (from when he hears them inside to when he shoots the guy with the stungun). I just randomly saw it and watched it again for the first time in nearly 50 years, and it was just as good as I remembered it.

McQueen was sensational in his last two movies. He downright refused to let the severities of his illness prevent him from granting his loyal fans two more stellar performances. While other actors would call it a day this fucking guy kept the fire ablaze and very much remained The King of Cool till the day he died.

He was in the last stages of dying from mesothelioma.

@@JBliehall Yeah, Hard to believe that today marks 40 years since he died. He's the most Badass, and the coolest guy I've ever seen on screen. R.I.P. Steve.

[@JBliehall]

@@DaisysmellowyellowPlymouth And in person he was not a nice man. His expose' confirmed what many already knew. He had personal issues from his past and treated women almost with contempt. Ali included. She left her very successful husband for him and when Steve died she got nothing. Sad legacy for a man with so much talent on screen.

[@DaisysmellowyellowPlymouth]

@@JBliehall Yes, I know how he came up, he had a rough go, reminds me of myself... I think of him as a man who was then able to mold himself into a person who could take on the world, which doesn't give a sh*t about anyone. I have a lot of favorite actors but he's my favorite, but he is also my favorite as a man, because in my opinion: to be like Steve means that No one can push you around. While some bad: the story of his life is how you conquer the world, in my opinion. Maybe its wrong of me to think that way (I would treat women different than Steve to be honest) it's just the way I see it, maybe because of how I've been brought up... I don't know... I have to agree with you some, but.. I don't think he made mistakes any more horrible than the next guy... Not taking any sh*t and the way he was is why he is The King of Cool, and I'm glad that I know of him and that it's rubbed off on me... Haven't you heard of any of the good that he did? Like donating to the boys school that he had to go to? Or the fact that he accepted God before he passed?

[@JBliehall]

@@DaisysmellowyellowPlymouth Yes, he certainly did give a lot back. But no amount of "Good" tilts the scale to level when you are that "Bad." I met him 1 night on the 10 freeway on my motorcycle. I lived in Santa Monica and would head to Palm Springs for relaxation. It was after 4 AM (the drunk drivers had either crashed, gone home or gotten arrested by then) and I saw 1 headlight in the mirror-either a car with 1 headlight out or a motorcycle. I slowed down and a beautiful Ariel Square 4 British bike pulled up next to me. They didn't make many of them. We went back and forth for quite a while and finally I flashed my lights and gestured "Let's get coffee." It took him a long time too make up his mind (and I understand why) but finally he pulled ahead and we got off at a Denny's. Neither of us were wearing helmets (ya, dumb) and when he took his googles off I knew immediately who it was. We went inside, got a booth and ordered coffee. He looked at me and said flatly...."Let's not talk about what you want to talk about." I replied, "How do you know what it is I want to talk about?" He smiled and gave that I give gesture. I said, "I want to know how much you have to strip off the BMW German motorcycle so it could even get off the ground let alone over the fence." As you know he could not do that scene in the Great Escape, his best friend Bud Ekins made the jump. He said, "Look at the movie again. We started and filmed with the BMW but switched to a Triumph TR 6 for the jump scenes." I did and it was. We finished our coffee and as we were getting ready to leave I reached out to shake his hand, he never hesitated and shook mine with a firm hand. That was it. I never asked for an autograph. What could a piece of paper add to that experience? I never told him I also thought it was a terrible movie. Supposedly their 3rd Stalag Luft prisoner of war camp and the British all have immaculate uniforms with their insignia of rank and all their commendation ribbons....really? I didn't expect them to dress in rags, but Steve has his like new leather jacket and baseball glove? Really a stretch. Stay safe and well. James

I loved this film from the first viewing, but seeing McQueen the consummate car racer and enthusiast playing a guy who couldn't back a car out of fresh mowed field without putting a dent into it.

When he got up to the ridge, or Greenwood Ave, he would speed through the light and go even faster down the hill. I thought this was great!

Kelly14UK Yes,it was asbestos. See the thing about it is: Its practically a death sentence. This cancer is aggressive,and if you do survive surgery, and recover: the recovery expectancy is only 11 months. In Steve McQueen's case: he was told that he wouldn't survive surgery, so he tried to heal naturally (with teas,beans etc.,moved down to where the air was cooler and relaxed... Because no man should be told: ''You're going to die'' and just accept it. If thats going to happen: die fighting it. And that's just what Steve Mcqueen did... And when the pain got unbearable,he went into mexico to have the surgery. And he survived. But,it was said that he asked for some ice... and when the nurse got back... he was dead. Yep,if you've got a mesothelioma diagnosis... it's a real death sentence. But if it happens: that's the damn best way: to fight it. R.I.P. the king of cool Steve McQueen.

[@Kelly14UK]

They say it was in his road helmets ( fire retardent). But i think it was more to do with his national service, cleaning out the hull of a ship was one of his jobs. They say the stuff was clouding the air. If so, it means that every time we see him on screen, it's there ticking away inside him. I think alarm bells went off around filming of The Getaway, 8 years to live. Sad. Shame he kept knocking back roles.71 Plymouth.

Kelly14UK My same thoughts exactly. It's a shame to see when I'm watching an episode of Wanted Dead or alive that Steve McQueen at 28 is dying rapidly and doesn't have 20 years left... It was definitely his time in the service that this happened,I mean with the stuff around in the air. And that's how they say you contact it: asbestos is harmless just looking at it. But one you shake it and the fibers get off... I hope I'm alright,asbestos were used in the headliner of 70's cars,and when I was younger: I sat in these cars all the time... But I didn't see anything falling so,I'm in the clear hopefully. Because it say,that you only have to be exposed 3 months and you get a case like Steve McQueen. Yep,you're exactly right friend,thanks for telling me that. I'm glad we bumped into each other and had this conversation. Hahaha,Thumbs up to you and have a good day friend.

I think asbestos is now banned outright, but i forget. I've got a phobia about it. Anyway i've realised i should put Papillon in my Top 20. Charriere told lies, but his 2 books are great reading and McQueen's movie cleverly combines all the elements of the first book. I'll tell you what's sad, how McQueen is famed for his movie escapes, and yet in Tom Horn, at the end of his career, he makes an escape attempt. But it fails. Horn hangs and shortly after McQueen falls fatally ill. Fifty was too young. Cheers.71 Plymouth.
