Joe Don Baker

Said in an interview that if he ever met the writers of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (1988) he would "kick [their] asses" for their grilling of Uccidete Mister Mitchell (1975). This did not stop them from sending up another one of Baker's films, Final Justice (1984), in which they ridicule him even more. Baker later said the threat was a joke.

[on working with Sam Peckinpah in L'ultimo buscadero (1972)] I didn't care for Peckinpah at all. He was one of those little guys who tries to bully big guys and he almost got his ass whipped for trying to do it to me. Every time I was going to throttle Peckinpah, Steve McQueen would come over and calm me down like a brother would.
