Thunderbolt and Lightfoot
(1974)
In writer/director Michael Cimino's debut film starring
Jeff Bridges and Clint Eastwood in early roles:
- the astonishing 'rabbit shooting' sequence in which
a deranged and lunatic hillbilly (Bill McKinney), crazed by his
leaking exhaust pipe and carbon monoxide gas, emptied his trunk
full of white rabbits into a field, and then began wildly shooting
at them with a shotgun until hitchhiker John "Thunderbolt" Doherty
(Clint Eastwood) knocked him out and then stated: "I don't
know what the hell we're gonna do with all these rabbits?"
