    The interaction between the male and female protagonists is very interesting, and the ending is a little idealized, a movie I watched a long time...

    In 1976, Eastwood grabbed Locke, annoyed the DGA, and came up with the Eastwood Rule. This is their first movie after this, and there is still a bit of affection in the end. At this time, the 47-year-old Clint also showed a rare youthful madness and high-spiritedness, and the brilliance on his face was invincible. It was the first time I saw him in a movie that his legs were so painful that he couldn't straighten...

    There are two unforgettable scenes in this film: a group of police officers surrounded a wooden house and shot frantically until the house collapsed; more police officers stood on both sides of the street and surrounded Dongmu's bus frantically shooting (why didn't they hit the wheels?) . The director borrowed the style of Parkin's method, the editing is broken, the gunshots are dense, very hysterical and very neurotic, but also unique. The main line is very ridiculous. Police Dongmu was sent...

    8000 bullets shot at him!

    The police and gangster film "Gauntlet" (1977), directed and starred by Dongmu, is rarely mentioned, but it is actually a typical 70'-style drama.

The Gauntlet quotes

  • Ben Shockley: Now I get the big case and I'm picked to go down with it.

    Gus Mally: You don't have to. Neither of us does. Nobody is forcing you to go back to Phoenix. Look, we could go to Canada or Mexico. Anywhere!

    Ben Shockley: [sarcastically] Sure. And live like kings.

    Gus Mally: I've got some money. Look, I've got my checkbook. $5000 back in Vegas.

    Ben Shockley: And when that runs out?

    Gus Mally: Look, let's then take the money and buy a pickup truck. An old sedan, or something unobtrusive, for God's sake. We'll take the back roads, we'll turn ourselves in to some precinct station. Anything but City Hall! We'll ask for protective custody. Talk to the D.A.

    Ben Shockley: That's exactly what I want you to do.

    Gus Mally: Well, what about you?

    Ben Shockley: Me, I am going in.

    Gus Mally: Why?

    Ben Shockley: We both know why Blakelock picked me for the job. I'm gonna prove he's wrong.

    Gus Mally: Then I'm going with you.

    Ben Shockley: Uh-uh. You're not my prisoner anymore. You can go wherever you want. You get your money, you can take off. This is strictly between me and Blakelock.

    Gus Mally: Look, you said yourself you didn't think the whole thing would work.

    Ben Shockley: At least someone'll know I tried.

    Gus Mally: Who, Blakelock?

    Ben Shockley: No, me.

  • Gus Mally: [in cell] You found out I was right, didn't you?

    Ben Shockley: [opening cell door, entering] I didn't find out dick. All I know is there is a horse named Mally No Show in the 10th race at Santa Anita, and the way the odds are going up, somebody's betting she's going to drop dead at the starting gate.

    Gus Mally: That's right! And this is the gate right here! Don't you see? They're saying we don't have a chance!

    Ben Shockley: For all I know, there is a horse, it's just a coincidence.

    Gus Mally: [scoffs impatiently] It's not a coincidence! For Chrissakes, Shockley, there isn't any 10th race at Anita!

    [he scowls at her]

    Paramedic Driver: [two medics arrive] The wagon's outside.

    Ben Shockley: What about that horse?

    Paramedic: 75 to one. Sounds like a real nag.

    Gus Mally: [frantic] Look, go back home. Leave me be. Call it off. Please!

    Ben Shockley: We're splitting right now.

    [to the paramedics]

    Ben Shockley: Look, one of you call Hertz or Avis, I don't care which one. Get me a car. Have them leave it somewhere inbetween here and the airport. Leave the keys in and I'll pay for it when I get her on the plane.

    [to her:]

    Ben Shockley: If, and I say if, what you're saying is true, then somebody's betting I can't do my job. Well, they're full of shit!

    Gus Mally: You are - - These people laying these odds will chew you up and spit you out! You're fucking crazy! I'm not going anywhere with you!

    [retreats back to the bunk bed, looking into his steely unsympathetic eyes tearfully]
