Brand new factory sealed Special Edition comes in a heavy duty card stock gatefold cover. These usually have credits and movie stills printed on the inside cover.
Introduced by Eastwood himself with an all new transfer and retooled 5.1 soundtrack. Plus two documentaries on the making of and the trailer.
Josey Wales, a peacable Missouri farmer, has his farm burned and his wife and child killed by Unionist freebooters. He joins a gang of Confederate marauders, goes thru the war--conveyed briefly by a montage of war shots--mows down a platoon of Union soldiers, and flees to Texas with a price on his head and an array of vicious lawmen and bounty hunters after him.
It is a long exodus, in the course of which Wales kills a great many people and, despite his contention that he wants to travel alone, picks up a whole convoy of characters:
A hard-luck but winsome Indian girl repeatedly gets knocked off her feet or worse; a sneaky boatman cringes and leers; a spry old woman bustles about with a broom, shrills out hymns, and grabs a rifle to shoot marauders; a doe-eyed young woman opens her eyes reindeer-size to convey fear, passion, or bashfulness; a young follower of the outlaw manages three distinct and radiant deathbed scenes on one bullet hole.
Will Sampson does a blue-painted Navajo chieftan. Chief Dan George plays a civilized Indian who attaches himself to Wales and has moments of dry humour and whole stretches of damp whimsy.
