Rooster Cogburn/Rooster Cogburn versus William Munny/Josey Wales

Both versions of Rooster Cogburn (John Wayne and Jeff Bridges) versus William Munny and Josey Wales.

Each combatant is armed with twin revolvers, a schofield rifle and a 12 gauge scattergun, and as much ammo as they can carry. Munny and Bridges Cogburn are drunk. Wales has a pocket full of baccy to spit.

Fight takes place in Tombstone, at high noon. They start out on opposite ends of town and fight to the death.

Who wins?

I love old Rooster, but I think Josey and Munny have got this. Munny is a frickin beast

*Spits*

Munnys not bad up close, but in his "Unforgiven" state thats all hes gonna be. His ageing eyes let him down at range in the movie.
Ive not seen Josie Wales in ten years or so, but I cant remember anything that would take away from expected levels of badassery..if he does the long range stuff they might have a shot.

Mind, Rooster misses when hes drunk, but can Pwn on a moving horse hundreds of yards then feet away when hes focused..spinning a winchester in one hand and blazing with six shooters in the other.
(Which he did with 2xhandguns in the Coen's version...!!!!)
Might have to go with the Roosters.

"Missourah boat ride."

Wales shot that rope on the raft, remember?

No I honestly dont. But Ive got no reason to disbelieve you.
Could you get a link up for a YT vid, maybe?

If the Roosters are drunk they're pretty screwed.

Actually no. Wales took on half a dozen men in one sitting while ten feet from them and killed them all. Wales is a beast.

And for the lulz:

I see now.

Yeah that rifle shot: Tonnes of prep time, nice easy taken in his own time kinda shot, no fire being returned. No rivers in tombstone either.

Did WayneCogburn show better rifle skills than BridgesCogburn?

If Munny's luck holds out then he'll be on the winning side...The shootout in the bar was just pure gold because he clearly should've been shot about a million times.

I'd argue so..his use of it in the "fill yer hand.." moment on a moving horse, spinning the rifle to recock it looked like an impressive fluidity with the rifle.

On a side note: That moment HAD to have been an influence on Arnie in T2...

Yep you're right on the munny about his awesome luck.

Everyone was bricking it too much to attempt it after the bar keep.

Lucky for Munny that either they were too scared or didn't really like Bill or thought that he 'had it comin'.... either could be why no one took a shot.

Same with Wales at 1:46

54 kills in one movie. I think that seals the deal.

No, in the fill your hands scene he isn't shown shooting a single person when he rides past them.

On a side note, Barry Pepper nailed the role of Ned.

The two Clint's edge it. Wales is the baddest of the bad here, imo; if only by a ****-hair.

Or a drop of spit.
