There's an hilarious comedy sketch with John Byner & Lee Marvin on YT in which Byner as "The Duke" advises Lee to '...hold yer horses pilgrim...' & the duke himself is in the audience: Priceless!
Doubt it. I am sure most millennials have no idea who John Wayne is. He will become more and more obscure over the next few decades, which hopefully translates to less knuckle dragging, woman slapping, "my way or the highway" douchbags.
+Richard Berry i dont think the world will ever forget true legends like john wayne and the greats from that time in movie history.... somethings people should be born knowing.... lol one of those is John Wayne was a Badass and a Great Actor... but yeah millennials alot of times dont look at the past... just forward to there futures most of that lot are hopes and dreams kind of people then the world forces them to grow up and shatters their dreams and hopes... (not saying all young people are like this mind you).... but most of the ones i have known tend to forget the passed...
They do exist ... they're just not filmed anymore. The gradual and insidious "pussification" of man started with the that useless Baby Boomer generation.
I would watch their movies with my dad as a kid and only 34 years old now and still watch Eastwood or Wayne westerns when I can and Clint’ s cop movies
One of my favorite John Wayne movies glad my Grandpa introduced me to Westerns as a kid even a 90's kid like me can appreciate good classics like these
Fun fact and no joke. My adoptive dad was related to John Wayne/Robert Marion Morrison. And he could scare the skin off of people and animals. There was a boxer, the dog breed, after me when I was little and my dad yelled “GET OUT OF HERE!!!!”, at the top of his voice, and that dog sprang up in the air like a rabbit and “Ppppphhheeewwwww!”
God I miss the Duke.One of the greatest western actors ever.He personified what being a man meant.Your word was your bond and you didnt break it for anything.Loved your movies John RIP.
Love them classics, watch them over and over. John Wayne gets my ultimate respect. Maureen O'Hara is right up there too, along with sooo many other greats. Grew up in a perfect time. 61 and going strong. Well, kinda......
It was my dad's favorite too... he used to quote it all the time but I never looked it up. Fast forward 10 years... he's no longer with us and I was watching old westerns with a family friend and finally saw this scene. RIP Pops and John
I’ve been a fan of his since i was very little. Now im pretty old and still a fan. As a coincidence i just finished in harms way on dvd.... no one will ever replace him RIP
"Well that's not important right now. The important thing is that you don't draw that Hoglighter or this will be worse than Dodge City on a Saturday night"... Common sense triumphs the emotions in any situation like that
cqtaylor Funny thing, this isn't the only time. Watch John Ford's "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance". That's the first time Wayne used "pilgrim". It's his nickname for Jimmy Stewart's character--and he says it so much in that movie it's drinking-game material.
You gotta be a butthurt liberal and hate america to not like THE DUKE.He was everything the men ( if you can call todays males MEN) are not. Loyal tough honest and lovers of their country.RIP JOHN .
the one thing john always did for his movies is that he didn't use stunt men. in a behind the scenes documentary he had stated that everyone was afraid to do the stunt, so he showed them how it was done. classic wayne.
SuperGrandmother3 he did use 1 in the shootist, but may have been for his age and health besides not knowing he had cancer, he was battling a very bad flu. they almost didnt finish the movie
He was stunt doubled every now and again for really dangerous stuff in his younger days and when he got older was doubled more frequently, but he did more of his own stunts than the average star and in this and HATARI! he didn't use one at all.
Classic john wayne they don't make men like this anymore do they? Wayne made so many great movies with great lines and great acting the one and only larger than life the duke! Rip.........
I always watch this or the commancheroes for a good laugh. Sometimes rio bravo too. Love how those movies can lighten the mood after something serious, or just make you laugh the whole way through.
How many time's have we ALL had a "....the Hell I won't!" moment in life? Sometimes people just take thing's one step too far, & the next thing you know we're quoting The Duke. And.... Well, some people seem to insist on a dose of reality.
God I was born in the wrong century, that was a time when men were allowed to be men. Forget lawsuits etc., ya gotta beef with someone, handle it on your own. Have been a Duke fan for a long time, so many great scenes and quotes.
You and me both! I've always said I was born in the wrong century. I'd gladly give up phones, computers, etc... Common sense was a little more common then..
The great badman Leo Gordon gets a lesson in manners from big John...this is a great movie full of fun and good humor....years before when Wayne was making the great western Hondo the only actor who was considered tough enough and big enough not to look foolish when tangling with Wayne was the same Leo Gordon...Gordon was much more that just a granite faced bad guy...he also wrote many screenplays and several successful novels. In his youth he spent fours years in either Folsom or Alcatraz, I can't really remember which, after being shot in the stomach while committing and armed robbery....So old Leo was the real thing!
I loved all his movies!! It was movies like that, my parents could proudly take their kids to watch!! I really enjoyed it especially when it was at the drive in.
That tough guy with the shotgun is the classic blue-eyed villain/actor Leo Gordon -- no second string man in Hollywood. When he wasn't acting he was a novelist & sold screenplays to production companies ("Tobruk" with Rock Hudson). He appeared with Wayne 3 times (Hondo, The Conquerer & McLintock). Appeared in many Gunsmoke, Bonanzas & Rifleman series' & the TV mini-series Winds of War & tangled with Clint Walker in The Night of the Grizzly. He also served 5 years in San Quentin. His last appearance was at the poker table in Mel Gibson's Maverick film. You'd have to be at least as big as The Duke to poke Leo Gordon. Leo had a reputation like actor Lawrence Tierney as a real tough guy in Hollywood. (Maybe you'll remember Tierney from Seinfeld -- he was Elaine's father who scared everybody).
