Editorial Review:
With his steely-eyed stare and one of the most commanding screen presences of all time, Clint Eastwood is a true American icon to film fans everywhere. Join him in the Clint Eastwood: Western Icon Collection in three of his most popular films: High Plains Drifter, Joe Kidd and Two Mules for Sister Sara. This powerful, must-have collection showcases Clint Eastwood in some of the toughest and most unforgettable roles of his career. High Plains Drifter When "The Stranger" (Clint Eastwood) rides into the sin-ridden town of Lago, bullets fly as he battles three ruthless gunmen in a pulse-pounding shoot-‘em-up. Joe Kidd Gunslinger Joe Kidd (Clint Eastwood) is hired by a wealthy landowner (Robert Duvall) to quell a range war with Mexican revolutionaries, but he soon finds his loyalties in question when he falls for a beautiful rebel. Two Mules for Sister Sara A hard-hitting drifter (Clint Eastwood) and a unusual nun (Shirley MacLaine) set off on an action-packed adventure when they join a band of freedom fighters in their mission to capture a well-protected enemy garrison.
Clint Eastwood Western Icon Collection (High Plains Drifter/Joe Kidd/Two Mules For Sister Sara) Reviews:
A Lean Collection 
2009-12-24 - No extras just a bare bones compilation with one of Clint's finest westerns (HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER), one of his worst (TWO MULES FOR SISTER SARA) and one in between (JOE KIDD). Directed by Eastwood, Don Siegel and John Sturges they run the gamit. DRIFTER is a stark and dark tale of revenge. TWO MULES is based on a Budd Boetticher story (which Budd has wanted to direct) with MacLaine as a hooker helping the Mexican Revolution in the guise of a nun. Yeah right. Clint is a mercenary in a film that has a Morricone score is definately meant to have the look and feel of a "spagetti Western". JOE KIDD has legendary director John Sturges (MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, THE GREAT ESCAPE) at the helm, Robert Duvall and John Saxon in supporting roles. It just doesn't have that something extra. A standard film that could easily have been done for Randolph Scott or Audie Murphy.
Clint Eastwood The Man of the West
2009-11-11 - Clint Eastwood; He is the MAN, always lots of action and good story lines, beautiful scenery and he's got that rough tough machismo way about him that few have plus he's got that witty, sly sense of humor. Eastwood would have made a great James Bond. These movies were tailor made for him, you wont be disappointed.
Clint is the man 
2009-05-15 - Great Westerns with the best lead - Clint Eastwood. A good value. Not blu-ray or HD but they look good. Everyone needs to watch these at least once.
Censored language (& scenes?) from WalMart 
2009-04-19 - I bought this set out of the discount bin at the local WalMart. I didn't notice it the first time I watched, but the second time I watched these, I noticed that the dialog had been edited to just blank out some curse words. The most blatant editing is on "High Plains Drifter"... in six or seven places. And, I think Clint's sex scene in the barn has been shortened.
I am wondering if these sets are all like this, or was this just done for the Wally World soccer-mom crowd? I have heard that WaldoMart does this to other videos. True? If it's just on this set, than the set stinks. "High Plains Drifter" (originially released with an 'R' rating) was meant to be gritty.
Well, so much for the nanny state. Big Brother is watching out for you.
Great shoot-em-ups
2009-03-18 - Clint Eastwood at his best, "Two Mules For Sister Sara" is a great movie, with "Joe Kid" and "High Plains Driter", what a great way to spend an afternoon
