"Pilgrim anybody that wears an all leather outfit has to be a fancy boy."
"That doesn't mean anything. Lot's of people wear all leather jumpsuits. Liberace. Sal Mineo. Jeff Chandler. Well maybe you have a point."
"Life is hard enough Pilgrim. It is even harder when you go around like a fancy boy. Go put on some jeans and lets rob that Wagon you homo."
"Stop calling me that. At least my son will grow up to die of eating pussy."

OT, maybe, but, if we're talking manly men, a little something for all the Lefty sitzpinklers out there.
If you want a definition of class, consider this.
She refuses to take sides although no one would blame her if she did.
PS Looks like The Donald is holding steady in IA.
Make of that what you will.
The War Wagon, sung by Tomahawk Man aka Ed Ames.
Professional job by all involved.
And Kirk Douglas holds his own against Big John, IMO.
Also excellent cameos by a very young Bruce Dern as a bad guy gunman and Keenan Wynn as an old grouch.
You have to be deep into Pop Culture to get that last line. Wayne said Douglas made a convincing Cowboy except he needed a trampoline to get on a horse.
War Wagon was one of the Better Comedy westerns. The war wagon however never made much sense to me. Putting a Galting Gun and a turret on top of Wagon makes it top heavy and very slow. Plus, it needs to be iron platted to protect everyone inside, which makes it even slower. And the turret was made of wood, it wasn't bullet proof. And neither were the flimsy wheels.
But whatever. It was still funny.
What about the horses?
I mean if you shot the horses where are they gonna go? You could just wait them out.
"By the way, which one's Pink?"

Well you could do what Russell Crowe's gang in "310 to Yuma" did. Just charge right at a heavy stagecoach with a Gatling gun and get mowed down. And then after enough guys have gotten killed, throw sticks of dynamite at the stagecoach while riding on horseback.
Personally, I just would have dug a hole in road or set up a trip wire but that would've been undramatic.
Douglas in all black in that pic reminds me of another great 1979 Western comedy he did also wearing all black entitled "The Villain" w. Ann Margret and "Teh" Arnold as "handsome stranger." For my money the real star of the movie was Douglass' mind-of-his-own horse "Whiskey." Foster Brooks, Jack Elam, Strother Martin Paul Lynde (as an Indian Chief) and Mel Tillis make this a great minor-key comedy.
Basically a riff on a Road-Runner cartoon (Douglas tries to rob a bank using a "Bank Robber's Guide") Lots of Loony Tunes side gags in every scene.
I didn't know as I'd like to sit next to a cowboy clad head to toe in black leather, especially on the 3:10 to Yuma. It was rumored that three of the stunt doubles of Kirk Douglas died of heat exhaustion.
