Yeah, but he took a beating first. That didn't happen in many JW pics.

I remember that being the other way around.  Dern got his whooped by a JW that was almost three times his age.   8)

I wouldn't say that.  He gave probably more than he got.  Especially in the beginning of the fight.  JW: "On my worst day I could beat the hell out of you."  Dern: "I don't think so."  JW: "You WILL THINK SO!"  WHAP WHAP!  Dern goes down with a broken face. (then had to be clubbed from behind by one of Dern's men to give Dern an edge....and Dern still lost)

What really didn't happen in too many John Wayne movies is him getting killed.  Cowboys, The Shootist, Sands of Iwo Jima, The Alamo were the only four I can think of (I guess Man Who Shot Liberty Valance would cound as five if you are talking about him simply dying and not being killed) 

I just realized the other day, when my wife said "I've never seen Clint Eastwood killed in a movie" that Grand Torino (his last movie) is the only movie that I can think of where Clint Eastwood gets killed.

You got a problem with that? It implies that he is not a bully and won't be intimidated. Sounds like a great motto to live by.
A simple code for a simple man.

I like Wayne and enjoyed him in the Shootist although I thought the "I will not be wronged..."specch was a little over the top.

Hi,

They played 'In Old Sacramento' for Gold Rush Days here in Sackatomatoes ... and I was very surprised to find so many 1883 (and afterward) Colts use in the Gold Rush of '49 ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Old_California_%281942_film%29

I wish Major 2 would have been working that movie ... it would have made it SO much more enjoyable ...

Here's one for you. Not anything close to academy award winning; but the women are easy on the eyes. While I was sitting through George Plimpton's western debut: Rio Lobo. Watch close for this; JW is in the Blackthorn sheriff's office when I noticed the wanted posters over his right shoulder. Hondo Lane $1000! The real star is Jack Elam with his tied back double hammer gun and a sack of shot shells slung around his neck.

PJ, that would have to be 'The Undefeated' about a group of southerners who head to Mexico after the war.
