Just watching El Dorado (Howards Hawks western, whgich is basically a remake of QTs fave Rio Bravo). Anyhoo, I was noticing the character Nels McCloud (Christopher George), he has a scar (like Mike) and a dead eye (like Drexl). Hes also supposed to be the “bad guy” of the movie. The strange thing is, hes likeable. I just thought of how Mike is sort of the same way. We know we’re supposed to hate him cuz hes “the psycho” yet still, he comes off very likeable and you almost feel bad for him in some ways. I think that character is directly influenced by Hawks characters like Mccloud. Just a film geek thought.
