Hey guys & gals ! I need help ! I need an answer to this trivia question for a game I'm playing at work.
The question is : What was Clint Eastwood doing unusual in the shootout scene ?
Thanks for any & all help !!!
Sorry for the late response. My guess? Shooting left-handed ...
[I also noticed when he punched the sheriff at the end, he did so left-handed; I believe he's right-handed, so I'd wondered at both moments if the scene was "mirrored" by the camera. FYI -- I saw a "nitpick" on a site noting that in "Unforgiven" 2/3 of the way through the film, the scene showing Eastwood and Freeman hiding in the ledge at night holding their rifles was mirrored by the camera, because Morgan Freeman is left-handed (but he was shooting right-handed) and in the same scene, Clint Eastwood was aiming left-handed (when he is actually a right-hander.)]
Seems like Clint shoots a rifle left-handed...he also throws left-handed (see the final badge-chucking scene in Dirty Harry for example)
shareHe was drinking a mug of beer, which is why he used his left arm to shoot the shotgun.
