The Getaway 1972 Shootout

Shootout

[@chrisp1500]

McQueen's character is a class act all the way, as evidenced by his sparing the kid at the end of the shootout. And "No, I haven't seen Rudy, you dumb broad" in the middle of a shootout is beyond funny

[@boomerang6130]

Ditto.....LOL @ you dumb broad

[@RJ986S]

Only Steve McQueen can wear a suit in a shootout and look more cool and more badass than literally 'everyone' else on the planet. 🙂

[@teller121]

nice tactical catch by McQueen at 2:33-2:36 where he brings shotgun over Ali's he walks and covers potential threats in the hallway. no more like McQ. shipyard worker, race car driver, real guy.

[@raymondjokerst2860]

Steve's muzzle discipline or Sam' s suggestion ? Steve shoulda popped that slick dude earlier in the movie- He was shielding himself from the grey matter with his palm,, but then relented.

[@KutWrite]

"No good deed goes unpunished." Lettieri was so great in this. Hated Rudy, but understood his motivation. I was kinda sorry he didn't stay with Fran and ride off, as Doc and Carol did in the movie. (the book's ending was quite different) Ben Johnson was a great "Beynon," too. Everyone mispronounced that name in this movie. I like watching this movie every now and then, or just parts of it, depending on my mood. This is one scene I usually include. Plus the one where Doc meets the "boys" on the lunch boat. The San Antonio River Walk never looked so sinister!

[@kabardino1337]

and then the movie proceeds to show us a real threath in one of the doors, the director made it so gave substance to McQ techniques

Best shootout ever. 70's movies have great shootout scenes.

[@delavalmilker]

I've always been impressed by the grace and confidence that McQueen has when using that shotgun. Especially the scene where he and Ali are walking down the hall at 2:24. McQueen was an ex-Marine, so I suppose he wasn't afraid of firearms.

I love how the scene just explodes into violence at the start. The whole climax boasts amazing camera placement and editing.

[@geoechidna]

All with no music until the end too. I feel the Cohen brothers took a lot of stylistic inspiration from The Getaway with those music-free shootouts in No Country for Old Men.

[@clobbyhops]

awesome shoot out with a shotgun. they need to do more scene's like this in today action movies.

They did the remake in 1994 with Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger. The shootout scene was actually pretty good.

[@Lex5576]

The High Standard Flite King shotgun. That was a damn fine shotgun until this movie came out. Then everybody had to have one. High Standard couldn't keep pace, so they outsourced production to other companies and quality went to shit. Ruined a once proud name and High Standard folded.

[@CovenantElite1117]

I just bought one yesterday. Not sure when it was made. But that action is very smooth.

[@Lex5576]

@@CovenantElite1117 Armscor of the Philippines has been making a stainless steel version of the old Flite King, sold under the Rock Island Arsenal brand. It has a bead blast finish with an 18 inch barrel. Very smooth action. All for less than $200 I think. Armscor/Squires Bingham was the foreign supplier of these shotguns when quality went down, but they've come a long way since. Their 1911 pistols are excellent.

[@geoechidna]

Wait, was this movie the reason they started getting mediocre...? That’s wild if true.

[@musichub6023]

1:38-1:42 That guys expression always scared me as a kid. He genuinely looks like hes in pain. And in the second shot he looks so scared. I always found stuff like that more violent/scary than blood. The act is actual violence. Blood/gore is not violence, it's the after-effects of it. People often get confused about that.

[@Dremeli]

When I watched this film at the first time - and I was way too young child to watch Peckinpah movies - I was scared of the scene where McQueen shoots the elevator wires with the shotgun and the guy is killed when the elevator comes down.

[@geoechidna]

It’s pretty crazy that this movie was made over 50 years ago. This is such as brutal firefight for the era’s movies. During this time a lot of “bad guys” getting shot in movies just fell down bloodlessly and “fell asleep”. In The Getaway you can tell getting hit by 00 buck HURTS. The way that guy in the stairway just reels there is 1000x more effective that him cartoonishly cartwheeling or flying backwards like many modern movies still do. It’s interesting to see a raw take at unrefined ‘70s shooting techniques too. Not like movies nowadays where every protagonist is ex-military or clearly had dozens of hours LARPing so he looks as badass as possible.

[@jasona9]

1:43, "Rudy, Rudy, have you seen Rudy?" LOL Sally Struthers played a great blonde ditz......

[@gorankatic40000bc]

Jesus Christ! Anyone who has eyes must see the masterwork at play! Look how that genius madman Peckinpah shot film and then edited it!

The humour Peckinpah added to his films!Dub Taylor crouching behind the registration desk with a book called "Sex for the Over Fifties"in his back pocket.Blink and you'll miss it,but it's a priceless touch that seperates a film-maker(Peckinpah) from a film director(99.9% of the rest).

[@chrisp1500]

My mom took me to La Paz, Mexico for a week after I graduated high school in '79. I went out on a small charter boat fishing and Dub Taylor was the other passenger. Super nice guy, he was content to drink beer and smoke cigars while I reeled in all the fish.

[@amyfisher6380]

I refuse to see the remake. The original is perfection. I love the end of this scene, where the little punk with a gun approaches them and gets screamed at. Those two are totally out of his league.

[@iflarnted]

Worst non-release of a soundtrack ever committed.

[@philleotardo8760]

Fun fact. Michael Madsen owns the shotgun Steve McQueen is using in this scene. It was gifted to him when he did the 1994 remake of the movie, which actually is a really good remake. Honestly prolly more hardcore and violent then this movie was.

12 gauge with a short barrel and double 00 buckshot. Urban artillery at it's best.

[@8068]

Thank you! Couldn't have said it better

[@8068]

Thank you for serving and welcome home soldier. I don’t know how you guys did it back then as the M16s and the ammo had serious problems. I know it took some time before they fixed the receiver and changed the ammo. But, a lot of guys got shot up first by Charlie before the Pentagon and McNamara took notice. The M16s we had in Afghanistan we some better, but still prone to jamming because of the constant dust. I traded my M16 for an M4 CQBR (Close Quarter Battle Receiver) and that was a bit better. Still though, you had to disassemble the weapon and completely clean it each day if you wanted anything reliable. The 1912 never goes out of style. Haven't had a chance to try the HS K 1200, but have been told it's good.

[@8068]

How did you get involved with "Poacher Pacification?" I ask as I actually find myself missing combat. You wouldn't think so, but I do. Who's funding your operations? Private money, "Langley" or DoD????

[@8068]

That's very cool! Not many of us get to find another theatre of operations. I volunteered for everything that came along. All that happened was I kept getting offers for desk jobs at the Pentagon. You're a very lucky solider.

[@markwoldin162]

Why does Peckinpah have McQ wait on the stairs. If he had opened up there he might have had the advantage. From what we can tell he hit no one in the ensuing exchange. And he lets the last henchman run away with a weapon in his belt. It's interesting how much one sees on more viewings. I have seen this scene so many times but never noticed the gun. That's just a mistake. We see that a lot in movies: It makes sense sometimes, the hero does well sometimes, other times he doesn't.
