[@ussexeter4601]

I felt like Silverado never got its due. It’s in my top 10 of all time favorite Westerns for sure.

[@edwardpate6128]

One of the best Westerns ever! Brian Dennehy was a villain you loved to hate.

[@chrisjohnston3405]

Yep, that and Rambo!

[@kellyBorgman]

I really like Silverado!

[@christianemden7637]

There are so many oscar winners in this scene alone.

[@davidabbott1951]

I believe that's the underappreciated Jeff Fahey as Tyree.

[@dritzzdarkwood4727]

Very underutilized, yes.

[@andrewfrantz5502]

Down to that, Jeff Fahey was born in Olean, New York.

[@michaels5217]

Always thought of him as a deranged looking Robbie Benson (going waaaay back here).

[@alienlife7754]

This was a very under appreciated western. It came out during the Vietnam War movie craze, going up against films like Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, and Born On The Fourth Of July. People were in a different mood. But I loved it. I am not a Kevin Kline fan but even he was good in this one.

[@seyerus]

It came out before all of those films. 4 years before Born on the 4th July! 🤭

[@bobnewfart7630]

Scott freeking Glenn was a bad ass in this. Holloywood missed the boat on Glenn he should have made 5 more Westerns after that one.

[@nado9159]

[@Pablo668]

I feel like an opportunity was missed not making a film about Ullyses S Grant, with Kevin Kline as Grant. He's got the right look, though a bit tall. Has the acting chops too.

[@davidabbott1951]

@@johnpisciotto7115 That was strictly for fun. Grant is grievously overlooked as a dramatic figure.

[@jamesrawlins735]

A mini-series would probably work better than a movie (It's difficult to do justice to a character like Grant - Spielberg's Lincoln is the exception). Just look at the mess the Napoleon movie was, in spite of a fine performance of Joaquin Phoenix.

I wish they would make a sequel. This movie really was one of the best Hollywood Westerns.

[@rockwellrhodes7703]

1985 was a bittersweet, somewhat magical year, for me. A long way from home, met a lot of new and interesting people, some of those no longer with us. I remember seeing this film advertising and seemed like a good show. Now, it brings back a lot of memories. Look forward to seeing them again.

[@shawnj1966]

That wasn't their relationship though. But you could tell they really cared about each other.

He was terrific and 'nice' in Dave, another very underrated movie.

[@slicksalmon6948]

At the time it was battling Pale Rider for audience approval.

[@lawrencelou3545]

@@slicksalmon6948 the Clint Eastwood westerns were a gritty representation of the old west . No clear cut image of good guys and bad guys .. of anti heroes and villains .. unlike the John Wayne westerns which was what Silverado was.. the true definition of the western genre.. faithful to tradition. ( John Wayne never like Clint Eastwood's western movies )

[@Sodiumreactor]

I always wondered who Jeff Goldblum was going to back here. He later turned out to be a bad guy, but in this scene, he is pretty new to town and this saloon is where he makes his living. So who was he going to use that knife on?

[@theholymackerel072]

He seems like a good guy in the first scene. It’s confusing for a western- characters are in black or white. His character wears a grey suit- he’s neutral, looking out for himself.

@@vanwilder1101 At first, I mistook your meaning, and after realizing what you really meant, I was clarifying the facts for anyone else who might misunderstand you. Did YOU read the OP's post? He refers to THE ACTOR who played those roles and says, "I'm used to seeing him with blonde hair." He is OBVIOUSLY talking about seeing THE ACTOR with blonde hair, not the characters. So when you then suggest a name, it looks as though you are referring to the actor, not any character. Also, in your response to my comment, you say you were "referring to the lawnmower man and the airline pilot on 'lost'." That makes it sound like both characters had the same name.

Himself. He was preparing to arm himself in case a larger brawl broke out. I imagine it's meant to show that he isn't the honest, carefree gambler he purports himself to be, as well as note the weapon the audience would know he had hidden during the big showdown at the end.

slow pace and lots of miscasting imo. Kevin Kline in a Western? Not terribly convincing. Brian Dennehy smiling his way thru another villain? Film actors know that if you say part of a line and then pause, the camera has a good chance of staying on you until you finish the line. There was a ton of that in the snippets I saw of this movie. Very self conscious and very self promoting.

[@djgrumpygeezer1194]

Saw this when it first came out and was pretty darned unimpressed. “Big Chill” on horseback. I know all western movies are actors wearing costumes, but I just couldn’t get past the impression of ‘80s actors doing ‘80s acting while dressed up old timey. Watching this clip, my impression hasn’t mellowed with age. I find myself singing the punchline from the Smothers Brothers version of “Streets of Loredo.” 🎵If you get an outfit, you can be a cowboy too.🎵

[@michaels5217]

Actors killed it across the board. This seems more like a viewer problem only seeing 80s actors, like you can't watch Leonard Nimoy in anything but Star Trek. I was able to be in awe of Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting without going "eh, it's just Mork dressed up in regular clothes." Lawrence Kasdan was involved in both movies and used many of the same actors. Costner was actually the corpse in Big Chill. He made great movies in both instances.
