right I can speak it to me as many twists as possible

and I think that most people expected that the story

was going to be the high writers verse ability here

that was a mark

but I didn't want that that's not the way I saw it

honorable to be

up to me like Billy was up to his old tricks good guys.

Sunday is gonna kill her

while the winner was beat by a better machine

and a better drive

by writers to be a game to identify the way

I see you that

Yes, sir. I think it was it was in many major

Are you going countless television?

Well produced I mean you want to talk

the right career stretched way back into the 1930s

he was a quiet guy and

didn't make suggestions to take direction.

I've worked a few times to talk to actors

who were also directly above

they're the best prepared people to work with.

Very cool. Am I getting cut off?

Meeker Oh, we just guys

I ever worked.

Walking with no.

Apologies and I told him Look,

Mike here who just wouldn't take advantage.

Broadway and mid 1950s

54 It was high.

Sheriff refers.

I've been my own way.

Also started as a private detective Mike Hammer 55

Robert Aldrich class our story runs the lane.

Just like many years ago,

I would direct a couple of the TV episodes of Mike Hammer

with Stacy Keach.

Now, I'm really not interested in that as well

just stop wasting your time.

Want some help with those things?

I bet you just died. I said yes.

take a second

for Stanley Kubrick and Paths of Glory

plus he was also in 1964 Tear log international Dirty Dozen

he goes oh my life I list all these credits

to make family here rather than a star and

working actor for more than a shorter work for me

on high res sometimes in rounds work with well if you don't

want to talk about yourself said

we'll talk about somebody right

I just say was the director any good film

any study looked at me

with a far away

I began the one

evening you are looking at a winner

you will

like Carson the guy's race

I do their best to guys right

oh get this boy see if he can drink faster the dry

daddy don't want him drink

the boys having a few beers

Come on. Show me something

about racing and racing

sure never

done a break right

come on

you listened

I don't want to hear about anymore racing.

I don't want me the next time I caught your racing

I was to arrest you and

the boy in the slammer che

i just see that you do.

You catch them racing I want them arrest

given these boys enough $20 warnings

These are private rooms

got permission from landowners

have to have permits

Did you ever Jerry cars

totally accurate to give you the long lens camera

and the crew level when needed

so

just

become

what it looks

like guys

listen

right back focus on

we're back in the car

I like it

Billy he was an asshole

but we loved him and

to the locals

back in these days we had to film on 35 millimeter Rostock

and film was very expensive.

So we would use a lot of what were called short

major studios would buy say 1000 feet of film

and would film until the scene was cut

or what have you and maybe they'd only shot six

or 700 feet of film.

Everybody just turn it on when somebody bites it we party the likely lead another great

Billy party Tony when he did it

I'm sure you'd want us to party

into the weekend

Rostock?

We put candy glass in

my son it's a material

large pieces for shattering

getting really well

it's very fair, man.

Everyone's sorry your son hit the pavement.

But we're also sorry about the others that were killed

to who you don't seem to give a good goddamn about.

But it's over now. And there's nothing anyone can do about it.

But it's like you come around town chinlock

It's just cooler. No need for trouble.

You're gonna do something about it. King

i Look Mr. Laws.

The boy was racing with your son got killed to these people.

They haven't broken any law.

That's your answer. haven't broken any law.

You're going to let them go after what they've done.

There's nothing else I can do. As far as the law is concerned.

They haven't done anything.

You think you've gotten away with something?

Nobody's gotten away with anything, man.

It was an accident.

Well, you're just

to save us all a lot of trouble.

Why don't you take your gang?

mean like, get out of town before sundown?

Good idea. No telling what a man like that might do. We'll finish

our beers and leave when we want

and don't say you weren't warned

What do you know about this Louis guy

Retired from one.

I don't know. Ask read

a read.

Come on over here for a minute.

What do you want? Who is this Louis Okay,

what are you asking me for?

Who else can we trust?

Look, I don't know films retired from bakkies.

Don't want to get involved with nibble brain

all of you just get out here for almost

you do as far as Mr. Lewis is concerned,

you're one of the one of the enemies.

I don't want you around

the whole movie, but he's spread throughout the movie.

Looking off camera to the actors delivering the line too.

But if you schedule very carefully and you plan very carefully,

you can take an actor fairly expensive actors use them throughout the picture,

but only use it for a couple of days of actual filming.

Again, a lot of actors don't like that.

But I never had a problem with X

I've never had a problem with any actor

sometimes they're close up on the same day.

Maybe they have done a week

before it's all in their head

to tell the boys 50 grand

wipe those pugs off the face of this animals

like that should be exterminated.

Ready and some other guys went back to headquarters.

The other guys are gonna go on in New Year's channel.

Right? Whatever they talk about Billy,

it's okay.

Let's see back at headquarters

you want to go see? Just one friend

I just love the sound of June 27

What's the ratio?

1.5 to one.

On a move out. I think his is a little faster than mine.

isn't always the power of the pants.

Sometimes it's how fast you can get.

Oh, Mrs. Wheeler was looking for you.

Oh, are you going to be leaving as Angie?

Listen, you take care of yourself.

I'm really gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you.

Thanks very well. I guess these boys will take care of you.

And if they don't you take care of them.

Goodbye and have a good life.

Bye Bye.

Who was that lady? That was no lady.

Mrs. Wheeler took care of me after my folks are killed in a car wreck.

That other lady knows more about engines than I do.

From what I've seen that wouldn't take much lot of ladies

no more than men. Right Lynn?

Hey said

Well, come on

you're awesome. You have to do it

have to have

that's the Cooper

every time

I found like the out of gas demo,

I'm gonna have them all back there to the stage.

That's Michael bikable for savings.

Production

This location

every week hundreds of bikers nobody's

The Rock Store before they ride the hills

you drive by there on a weekend

it looks like a convention biker

and you remember any other gas station

between here and headquarters

we try to keep cheerier as possible obviously

we had the interiors of the bar

but here at the robin stay exterior

go inside the store

the job or suspect

don't get it you're gonna pick up the best

that's hearing a little more

clean up that mess

him later

started

over the same like that five or six times

there any other gas stations around here

nope

gotta go all the way back to town you got

you better fill up now you got the chance

we were told there was some shooting going on here

hey look, this may sound crazy

but we're told some friends of ours got in trouble

and they've been shot here.

You've been here all day. Yeah.

And have a customer and over two hours.

Nobody traveled here.

Georgetown nobody got your some gas or not

just can't figure it.

Neither can I.

At least we should take your friend's body back to town.

Yeah, let's go yeah.

You sure this is a thought?

Yeah

I'm sure or anything

we've been requested to

share let's go

concern

I thought I told you I don't want your business

shirt Jeff

I was trying to throw as much suspicious going

on you were told to get out of ties please,

Mike. I'll handle this. With these higher

I think it's a one man job.

Become a factory right at the end of

the day. What's the problem?

If you're gonna have a gun

go off in the third act

you say he was dead.

He could be wrong. He could have crawled off.

Code was dead. He was dead.

Why didn't stick the body back with your question?

No sign of a struggle.

No blood. Nothing.

What do you say boys?

Because we're in a hurry to get back to the sticks. Okay

with the killer has got to take a look at that station.

You wanted them to feel they might be.

So everything I had to say was reasonable.

But suspicious? No, sir.

No problem here.

No sir. No problem

look, there's no physical evidence to support anything you say.

What are you talking about? We're telling you what happened.

No bodies? No blood.

Looks like you've always had been had your friends

if I just been putting you on the back laughing their heads off.

Wherever it is. You call home

bullshit. Telling you the truth man.

The sheriff ain't seen your line.

He just said your friends pull a fast one.

That makes sense don't it?

Honestly just go on home.

You'll get there and see that everything's okay.

Just a bad practical joke.

Drive carefully

have a good day

what do you think Toad was dead?

That's no joke. We're not gonna get any help around here.

Let's get back and get the state police involved in this

fed chant said listen to us. listen

to another example of stages.

That one gets a lot of information.

Carsten

doing this we know it doesn't matter

what we're going to do is get the hell out of it and figure it out

call the sheriff and see what does that introduce

this time

operator

Sheriff's Department sheriff's office

Sheriff kings big shot here Sheriff sheriff's office

we've got the evidence for you

they just tried to kill us we just kept corkboard same ones killed the brothers

okay, yes god dammit

All right cool. Movie magic.

Where are you? Where are you

can you hear me?

Hello? Where are you

you don't I will shoot my pants.

The thing it didn't smell it

make it hard to concentrate on the situation

very funny. Like getting hit over the head

or kicking the ball and if he did

so with a friendly local he'd have to say

I hung up on him.

You want to know where we were

something in his voice

we got to get the hell out of here.

I'm sure they're looking for us

they do

doing this

That decided

to the air that landed

three scuba dive

rescue guys

press there

tried to revive him but it was our last day of film.

I think we lost last. The last shot of high right?

We're Okay Nick was 29 years old

and exceptionally young

terrible terrible accident

this is the rock pool out at

Are you ready? Gotta be here Fox ranch.

The father of the local Fox had a ranch

a couple of miles down

known as Malibu Creek State Park.

The state of California allows filming here

most famously mash it all down there and

all the planet of the eight movies were also but there's

nothing we can do about it tonight.

While we're watching this, I'll tell you about leaving McDowell

Mark it's maybe a bit depressing to watch

but you got it hopefully you'll find it.

Steven McNally did something that never happened to me on a set or keys

when you are shooting actors close

SideRed on the off camera delivering his or her line on camera.

If the Off Camera Actor blows his line

and the director doesn't cut the on camera accurate

we'll wait till the line is correct.

And he's cute again. And the scene keeps going.

Steven McNally was on camera

when an Off Camera Actor must his lie on our budget schedule.

I didn't cut I just thought it

to the Off Camera Actor.

Rather than going Steven McNally just walked off.

Naturally I then turned to me and asked what it has sorry.

I didn't make a big deal of it. I said take the two on the slate.

Let's go again. I'm not sure

if Steven Valley was assaulted to the Off Camera Actor

who happens to be

I've had actors ask can we cut

that's not that I always do that justice.

Walk out of a shot never only happen once

it was at the bar and

Steven the alligator fine performance

just the way he did

touch me on this

love seeing love since those days and

we shot our rate which was necessary for distribution.

The Rating Board was always tougher on your screen picture for them.

That they would tell you you have to cut this out

or that out front by 24 frames 24 little pictures in seconds.

Sometimes they would take

but you have to cut whatever they demand

I am truly convinced

didn't

judge me once again

It was a great location

I never said I was Clint Eastwood

no you're going to leave

come on in for a hot water

let's go on in

Louis Well if Lewis is behind August then we gotta prove it

and make them pay for the brothers.

Great First you say you know Clint Eastwood

with no weapons no food no almost no gas.

And that's thinking yeah, well

back to the rock naturally

what happened here yesterday

I was told one to leave and when they come back

myth I said the man

She might be right
