Did Isaac Hayes "lift" a line from the MAGNIFICENT SEVEN for the title ?


Man, I just watched the 1960 movie THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN
on TV the other day,and I hadnt seen the movie in its entirety in about
40 years.
But there is one scene at the end where Charles Bronson gets fatally shot
and is about to expire,when he asks his little friends around him

Whats my Name ?

and they all say ,Bernardo !,Bernardo !
and he replies back

"You're Damn Right !'

and then he drops over dead.

Nice catch.

Do you know how many people had said "Damn right" in the 11 years between "The Magnificent Seven" and "Shaft"?



Annoying the world since 1960!
