 Rubinek, Saul (qv) asks Eastwood, Clint (qv) how he chose the  order in which to shoot six deputies. Eastwood replies that he "got  lucky." This is a sly reference to Eastwoods earlier film  _Outlaw Josey Wales, The (1976)_ (qv), in which  George, Chief Dan (qv) asks Eastwood how he chose the order in  which to shoot four Union soldiers, and Eastwood responds with a  lengthy explanation about their various holsters and the looks in  their eyes.
