What happened to young Billy in Big Jake he rides in at the start, we see him shooting within the McCandles ranch we do not see him get shot and thats the last we see of him. I have heard tell of there being a directors cut of Big Jake which may show his fate but Im not sure can anyone help.

Robbie,

Not trying to be offensive, but I think you're getting so bogged down in relatively minute details that you're missing the forest for the trees, if you know what I mean. I have watched several of these movies dozens of times, and quite frankly not noticed the "mistakes" that you're concerned about (and have mentioned in another thread as well). Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy! :D

I do agree that deleted scenes would make a good addition to a DVD. I enjoy watching that kind of stuff, and makes it worthwhile getting a DVD, even if I already own a movie on VHS.

Cheers!

Chester

Hey Robbie,

I think it's a fair question to ask and a topic that could be interesting.

I'm sure the Duke had many discussions both on set and off with costars and directors/producers about problems and/or mistakes on various movies. It's human nature. ;)

So, what did happen young Billy in Big Jake??

Robbie,

I feel a definite need to respond to you.

You said:
<<I asked what 5 films people thought John should and shouldnt have made and you didnt like that >>

I don't know why you say that. I wholeheartedly participated in that thread, and certainly don't think I expressed any dislike of the topic.

You said:
<<I thought that it would be a good idea to correct some mistakes in Dukes movies and you didnt like that>>

I didn't respond at all to that thread, so how can you say I didn't like it?

You said:
<<I asked what happened to young Billy in Big Jake and you didnt like that>>

I simply responded with an opinion, and even prefaced it with the thought that it was without intent to offend you. If I have offended you, I apologize. Opinions are like noses - everybody's got one, and I expect I'll express mine again in the future, on any number of topics.

So, again, I apologize for offending you.

Chester :unsure:
