what about the old samurai warrior with the baby in a pram? I suppose you would call those rice or sushi films. I think there were four or five and all excellent.

However, if your inquiry regarding '10 seconds of hardcore pornography' was of a more personal nature then I can tell you (with unabashed pride) that I have first-hand experience of what you speak. Furthermore, on one memorable occasion I think I even lasted longer than ten seconds...how about that then !!! :cool:

P.S. Sorry, I can't be more helpful with the other 'rapid fire' organ you mention, but the info offered by K at T might be worth pursuing.
Yes Roger I do recall 'Blazing Saddles' one of the most played scenes of any movie. But as movies go this one should have just gone. Even the John Wayne worst were better than this. But we do know of course that John Wayne won the war, all by himself.
Was it Blood at Sundown?

It is an atmospheric, brooding western about brotherly rivalry that deserves to be seen by fans of the genre.

A later Sartana film has an organ / machine gun - but thus far nothing coming close to including a priest and the organ being covered on a wagon ?
Very much a comic book character, the SARTANA's (like the first and third SABATA) appear influenced by the inspired anachronistic extremes of the exemplar American TV show, THE WILD, WILD WEST. Rarely is that as apparent than this films conclusion where Sartana unveils his trick organ which hides cannons and machine guns akin to the trick organ in the WWW season three episode, 'The Night of the Death-Maker'

A monk and a gattling gun are mentioned in THE WILD, WILD WEST --"The Night of the Death-Maker" ?

So many westerns !

Oh Madeline Kahn she had me in such fits of laughter with her rolls, 'High Anxiety' brilliant. What a shame she was in a car accident, I believe car hit her crossing the road & she was never the same after that, what a tragic loss to comedy. Mell Brooks we met him with his beautiful wife (Ann Bancroft of Mrs Robinson fame) some years ago in a bar at the top of the Peninsula Hotel in NY after midnight. He had the whole place in stitches, especially his rendition of 'Spring Time In Germany' from I think 'The Producers.' Just too much, it went on for maybe two hours the hotel opened the bar in the latter part of all this how good was that! A truly genuine delight as well as totally unassuming guy.
Now Slim Pickens what a great western actor. Also of course all should recall his superb scene riding the atom bomb down in Dr Strangelove?
What a fortnight! First the PC motherboard died and then, a few days later, our wifi modem died. With a PC shop 3 hours drive away it a few days to get fixed.
Then I logged in and seee that Keith has found that western I remembered "LIGHT THE FUSE... SARTANA IS COMING (1971)".
Great, Keith, thanks very much, am currently downloading it from Youtube.
:D
Alf,
"what about the old samurai warrior with the baby in a pram? I suppose you would call those rice or sushi films. I think there were four or five and all excellent. "
Wasn't that called "The WaterMargin" or similar.
It was on UK TV decades ago and was excellent.
My memory of the original viewing is way out - I thought the organ was on a cart, and at the beginning of the film.
But it looks like it was set up in the street (on a cart) and towards the end. But Keith's Sartana film is certainly the one I saw.
Must have been the consumption of too many Tigers or Anchors (or the mixture of the two - Tanchor) over the subsequent years that rotted the grey matter.
But I certainly remember the engineer's alarm that disrupted the film. Port boiler Copes feedwater control went haywire and would not respond in auto and very erratic in "Hand" control. 4th Eng hit the alarm and fault was traced to the control panel instrument air filter being full of water.
5th Engs (and me, the Cadet) all bollo**ed for not emptying the control air system filters when on patrol.
My first, of many, bollo**ings. :cripes:
hi robin i'm not sure of the titles but there were at least three films of the old samurai and the young boy in the pram. the last one was the young boy turning the pram on its side and working the machine guns from the handles. there are a couple of very memorial films I like. "Duck you sucker" Charles Coburn and "Murphy's War" with Peter O'Toole. also "Shout at the Devil" Lee Marvin and Michael Caine
