It was the first such poster in British history. What is an M. Your Task Watch out! As such, the networks may have felt compelled to "out-weapon" one another from time to time.

Few who were born after, including most all of the reviewers here who have focused on the technical inaccuracies, ambiguities, and anachronisms of Josh Randall's weapon, have meaningful first-hand insight into what any of this was about.

I watch it every day. To me, it has been like renewing the acquaintance of a long-lost friend. Steve McQueen's portrayal of the "benevolent bounty hunter" is so convincing, and the story lines so compelling, that you come away believing that bounty hunters were the ultimate "good guys". And as those of us "boomer kids" fondly remember, the "good guys" always won.

Steve McQueen's first big exposure in either film or television was, of course, "The Blob", the filming of which was completed long before WDOA went into production. This, in turn, resulted in McQueen's casting as Josh Randall. As I recall, it was some time after "Wanted Dead Or Alive" first aired on television that "The Blob" finally went into theatrical release.

By that time, McQueen was already a "star" at least to us "boomer" kids , and we went to the theater, not just to see "The Blob", but also to see "Josh Randall" as a "teenager". Talk about an anachronism!! Details Edit. Release date September 6, United States. United States. Apacheland Studios - S.

Technical specs Edit. Storyline Edit. This movie features a character who is a descendant of the character played by Steve McQueen in the television series of the same name. But he is also looking for Randall, and the people, for whom Randall is working, are telling Malak where he can find Randall. Nick Randall is a loner. A legend. A bounty hunter.

Action Crime Drama Thriller. Did you know Edit. Goofs About a third of the way through, Nick and other policemen are trying to disarm a suspect holding seven sticks of dynamite only feet away. The dynamite explodes much less than it should; seven sticks of dynamite would level a house, and everyone would have to be at least feet away to avoid serious injury or death. Quotes Philmore Walker : The next time you fuck me Lipton, kiss me first! Alternate versions There exist two different version on videotape.

One where Malak Al Rahim dies at the end, by having his head blown off, and one where this doesn't happen. The ending where Rahim doesn't die, is very tame, since the picture just fades to black, and then fades back in, with Randaal sitting somewhere pondering his fate.

User reviews 45 Review. It is just how he sees himself. Pretty deep eh! Nice song ;. This song is one of those old classic rock n roll songs about wanting to be a cowboy! In this song he's a lone ranger running from trouble on a 'steel' horse. He refers to his horse as being steel because it must be , both pysically and mentally strong and determined in order to keep going, carrying this cowboy to safety in search of some place better. He meets new people, as we all do, but in his world they leave and go their seperate ways, he has no reason to keep track of time and days, and not much to live for.

Although he's alone and on the run, he's still happy to be alive as he's lost in thoughts about memories of better days. He's stuck through hard times, knowing each day could just easily be his last, he's still standing tall. Wanted dead or alive goes along with the metaphore of being a cowboy, the fans want him "dead or alive. Assuming you believe that first explanation, then it would be a reference to how obsessive people are over musicians.
