If I see you again, I won’t see you again.

I suppose you know, Bob, if I ever see you again I'm just going to start shooting and figure it was self-defense.
My favorite Hackman line. |

Quoted: Uncommon Valor - 80s B-grade action movie, and he just kills it the whole way through. His paraphrasing of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar is both better and more concise than the original. View Quote One of my favorite scenes Agree, Hackman kills that whole movie, kinda fits that the dominant personality is a hurting father, motivated to find his forgotten son. |

"You just killed an unarmed man!"
"he should've armed himself if he's gonna be decoratin' his saloon with my friend" That is one of the best exchanges in filmdom, between two greats. |

Watching A Bridge Too Far with my wife tonight.
Her first time to see it. Hackman's portrayal of General Sosabowski was pretty dang good. |

Uncommon Valor
Heist The Quick and the Dead Unforgiven Those are probably my favorites of his, but he's been in a ton of great movies. |

Uncommon Valor and The Unforgiven.
Two of his best roles (besides Lex Luther, screaming for his secretary, lol). |

Scrolled down through IMDB seeing what's available to stream for free and came across Twighlight. Paul Newman is the main character but it also has Hackman and Garner. I surprised to see a young Reese Witherspoon topless right off the bat and then Susan Sarandon topless in a reflection soon after.
Might be interesting. |

If a man were to know the end of this day's business ere it come; But it suffice us that the day will end, and then the end be known. If we meet again, well then we'll smile, and if not then this parting was well made.

Quoted: Not even close to the top at 69. The only actors to have starred in over 200 movies: Ward Bond (200 movies) Christopher Lee (211 movies) Danny Trejo (215 movies) Danny Glover (219 movies) John Carradine (222 movies) Gertrude Astor (276 movies) Eric Roberts (455 movies) He's definitely one of the best though.

Gene Hackman was acting in self-defense when he slapped a homeless man who had “aggressively” approached him and his wife as the couple strolled in Santa Fe’s downtown plaza on Tuesday, police say.
“At 1:30 in the afternoon we had a male named Bruce Becker, who is a homeless male, call police and say he had been beaten up by Gene Hackman,” Sgt. Andrea Dobyns of the Santa Fe Police Department tells The Hollywood Reporter. |

"I suppose you know, Bob, if I ever see you again I'm just going to start shooting and figure it was self-defense."
and i remember seeing an interview with him or clint saying he didnt want to take that role, didnt want to do a western. clint talked him into it. hackman did indeed play good and bad guys both very well, his characters had good range. i liked him in runaway jury and the firm and there may be other actors who have more appearance credits, but its hard to find someone who has so many roles in well known and highly regarded movies over a long time. same for jeff bridges and robert duvall |

Just saw an old flick where Hackman was less known and had third billing after Candace Berger. The Hunting Party is about a rich man, Brandt Ruger, whose wife is kidnapped by bank robbers. When Ruger learns of it, his party which is armed with scope equipped Sharps Rifle (they're actually Martini Henrys) goes hunting for the bank robbers instead of the big game. They use their long range guns to their advantage and pick off the robbers one by one.
The director can't count because at one point the robbers are down to five but when they ride into a Mexican village (I think the set was used in one of Eastwood's Spaghetti Westerns) they're back up to ten. |
