The Outlaw Josey Wales is one of Clint Eastwood's finest Westerns - and it has a sequel that almost nobody has heard of. Westerns used to be one of the most popular genres in Hollywood, but around the start of the '60s, their popularity began to decline rapidly. Eastwood himself was one of the last major movie stars to make his name off the back of the genre, thanks to the Dollars trilogy and dark Western Hang 'Em High.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Unforgiven is considered the best Clint Eastwood Western, but The Outlaw Josey Wales comes in pretty close. This Civil War-era adventure was also helmed by Eastwood, with his titular gunslinger being chased by bounty hunters and Union soldiers while forging a makeshift family around himself.
He also penned Governor George Wallace's notorious "Segregation Now! Segregation Forever!" speech. Carter managed to keep his history of virulent white supremacy a secret when he embarked on his literary career as "Native American" author Forrest. Nobody involved with The Outlaw Josey Wales film had any idea of Carter's past when it was in production, but a 1976 New York Times article later revealed Forrest and Asa were the same person.
The Return Of Josey Wales Is A Terrible Sequel The Outlaw Josey Wales ends on an ambiguous note, suggesting the title character might be dying of his wounds as he rides off. Even admirers of the movie may not know about The Return Of Josey Wales, the 1986 adaptation of Carter's sequel novel.
Parks may have been a great actor, but The Return Of Josey Wales is a just cheap cash-in on the original movie. It falls short in just about every possible way, being a drab, thrill-free affair that's badly hampered by a low-budget and poor production values. The Return Of Josey Wales is barely recognizable as a direct follow-up either, with Parks' Josey baring little resemblance to Clint Eastwood's take.
