How he could lay there and play dead with a live King Cobra slithering around on his face. Holy sh*t.

Sorry Samuel L....you've got competition when it comes to snakes.

Now to check Strother's filmography and see if he did any other movies after this one.....LOL

I love to love my Lisa.

This is the lily - liver who punched Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke.

Not exactly punched Newman...he hit him with that whip or riding crop-thing...whatever it was he always carried around.

Clearly was a mannequin.

There’s also a scene where a snake clearly bites him on the hand, although I’m sure it wasn’t venomous. At first I thought it was a double for Martin, but the shot doesn’t cut and it’s him.

He handled a rattlesnake in an episode of Gunsmoke around the same time as this movie. Or it is implied given the footage shown on television. Some people are not bothered by being close to such snakes but I would guess that club is a tiny percentage of people.
