Blueberry  (10)
Stranger's Origin

Yesterday I saw a movie called Blueberry. It was launched in 2004. The similarity with the game is very big. In a part, the enemy say, 'hey stranger' and he stays furious and get his gun and... it is the wrath. The film passes in the old west and the similarities doesnt stop here. Look at the photo. Can anybody tell me if Lorne Lanning have already said something about it. I dont think I was the first to notice it.

Western films were most definitely a inspiration for Stranger's Wrath, and Clint Eastwood's famous 'Man With No Name' character is largely who Stranger is based upon.

actually Blueberry is a comic at first, and then they made this film of it.
I don't remember if it was a good adaptation of it.

In any case, they were designing Stranger long before 2004.

And I think "hello stranger" is a very stereotypical western-sounding line.
