10 Westerns To Watch If You Love Red Dead Redemption

If traveling along a road or trail anywhere on the game map, there's a chance to encounter some NPCs who don't know the golden rule of horses: never stand directly behind them. The unfortunate soul will be trying to fix their horse's shoe. Then they'll get kicked in the head. This event is pretty shocking when players are just focused on trotting their horses through the wildern


Released just six months after Tombstone , Lawrence Kasdan's extravagant monument to its title character was mostly overshadowed by its predecessor and is still lost in relative obscurity, which is quite a sh


At some point in their explorations, players have a chance to come across an unsavory gathering, to say the least. This group of people will be surrounding a tall wooden cross with flaming torches. They'll be listening to their leader chant about the injustices of the government's lack of action. Oh, and they'll be wearing white robes and hoods. Sound famil


**L.A. Noire (2011) – ** Released a year after Red Dead Redemption, this game was available for a wide range of consoles. It was developed by Team Bond and published by Rockstar Games. Rockstar North, Rockstar Leeds, Rockstar San Diego, and Rockstar New England are all credited as having collaborated on ports of the g


The first of two movies on this list about the legend of the lawman Wyatt Earp, Tombstone is a big, boisterous, action-adventure take on Frontier history and the taming of the lawless West in the spirit of Hollywood blockbusters of the t


Rockstar Games' hit 2010 open-world adventure game, Red Dead Redemption , was many people's introduction to the distinct qualities of the Western genre, particularly in regards to movies thanks to the games cinematic look and engaging storytell


Despite being initially unarmed, Kieran obtained a special Cattleman Revolver as his sidearm during the "Paying a Social Call" mission. Unlike the traditional Cattleman Revolvers, Kieran's was framed with iron and has a bone grip. Other gang members, like Hosea, Sadie, Sean, Lenny, Charles, and John also had their own unique revolv


A modern classic of the genre that's a must for fans of Westerns, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford will remind a Red Dead Redemption fan of those tranquil and melancholic moments from the game which are so hard to put into words but captured perfectly in the moods of Roger Deakins' cinematogra


'Duffy' is an Irish surname, originating from Connacht province on the western side of Ireland. Plenty of remarkable Irishmen share in it, including Charles Duffy, an Irish-Australian poet, Eoin O'Duffy, a high-profile Irish commander, and Mickey Duffy, a notorious outlaw. Although the latter wasn't precisely Irish and was born with another surname, he changed his name to Duffy in order to fit in with the Irish


As evidenced by its three wildly different titles, it's the most eclectic of Leone's five infamous Spaghetti Westerns and that's perhaps why it remains the most underappreciated of the bunch by quite a wide margin. Counter to the often mysterious and one-dimensional characters that the director is so well-known for, the odd duo at the center of the story are possibly his most complex characters and, coupled with some of the most ambitious shots of Leone's career, it makes for a sprawling epic that's sure to satisfy a Red Dead Redemption fan as it explores the same tumultuous time period of radical change, moral ambiguity, and explosive viole


Both emotionally poignant and hilariously violent depending on the moment, the movie offers the audience the kind of non-stop variety that only a massive open-world game could give in such a short space of time with each segment offering an entirely different kind of story, told in an entirely different kind of

Bill Williamson is a disgraced soldier, dishonorably discharged from the military years ago. After his anger issues and frustrations with his life consumed him, Bill fell into the Van der Linde gang, where his affinity with explosions is his strong suit. As such, Bill is rarely seen wielding his revolver, but it does have a distinct style, perhaps also emulating Dutch Van der Linde with the fact he too uses a Schofield Revol


Bill’s Schofield Revolver represents his character as a whole. Uncaring, forgetful, and pretty aggressive. It’s a powerful weapon, linked site but its weathered state shows that Bill doesn’t exactly take care of the weapon that’s supposed to be his lifeline, much like his unkept beard and clothes show how he barely takes care of hims


Above all the gang members, Bill Williamson was the one who bullied Kieran the most. He threatened to cut Kieran's testicles off several times, made him drink alcoholic drinks, and was overall a big bully. During the mission called "Paying a Social Call," Bill told Kieran that the only way he'd die is by "losing his balls first," which eerily foreshadows his tragic pass
