Lol, that's funny

Ha, ha, for that we have to thank duke, his horse is as smart as he was..... good joke.👍🏼😀.

😂

Horse beepers weren't invented in those days...

Yeah, nice reverse in that oats-mobile and people had enough sense to get out of the way before Osha decided otherwise and loaded us up with bells and whistles.

Very few people know this but John Wayne was very uncomfortable with horses

@@davidleebls1874 no wonder , they're big and heavy and liable to fall on you.

@@davidleebls1874 You can tell by the way he rides in how comfortable he was with horses. You can tell by the way he backs the animal up how expert he was with horses. I don't know where you heard Wayne was uncomfortable with horses, or if you're just making it up!

@@walterburger5281 I too have heard the Marion Morris ("John Wayne") was "uncomfortable" around horses. Doesn't mean he wasn't a Skilled Equestrian... Ever since I watched the movie Quigley Down Under; I figured it was a matter of "I said I was uncomfortable around horses. I Didn't say that I don't know how to Expertly Ride a Horse!" (to horribly mangle the Line, but not the spirit.) My understanding is that while John Wayne was proficient with horses; he did not Ride them for fun or recreation.

@@paladinsix9285 Wayne wasn't in Quigley Down Under. And what you heard is hear-say. Wayne was obviously proficient with horses, and therefore he would be comfortable around them. But as with any large animal you must be cautious when around them.

If the guy in the vest had his way, they would have.

He backed out of the situation the way a skilled and experienced gun fighter would; always keeping any potential threat in front of him where he could see and react to it.

Good point Wade... yeah, that would be an insult for sure. 👍🏾🇺🇸

Not sure if I'd be able to walk a horse backwards like that

@@mart2746 Wayne's double did most of it.

You know he was friends with wider before he died. And that’s ho you know he was friends with Wyatt herb before he died. When John Wayne was a stunt man wider hung out in the western sets quite a bit and got to know him

It’s hard to be law abiding when the laws are made by the corrupt to protect the criminals, instead of the innocent.

@Jon Hallo: You’re hilarious, lol. This guy was an actor! How the f*ck would you know anything about the “accuracy” of this movie…you weren’t there. It’s just a fantasy that sold seats in a movie theatre ffs.

@@rayray8687 because when he was a stuntman, and upcoming actor, he was around people who had lived through the "classic" Old West of the 1870's to 1890's. One of my favorite John Wayne movies is The Happy Valley (I believe that is the title), filmed in the late 1920's, it is set around 1904, there is a photo of POTUS Theodore Roosevelt in the Post Office. John Wayne's character is a Civil Engineer, and graduate of UCLA. It is an excellent low budget Western, with an interesting story. Land rights, building a road through a pass, and organizing the community, as well as matters of politics, provide elements of an interesting and plausible story.

@@paladinsix9285: Yes, thanks for your input. My original comment was directed toward another person who has since deleted his/her comment and who seemed to imagine that ‘John Wayne’, or more accurately Marion Morrison, was actually all the parts he played - a rough and tumble cowboy, a sherif, a military man - but in fact he was none of those things. He was an actor who played the parts he was paid to play, and as an actor undoubtedly had nothing whatsoever to do with the accuracy of the movie. That work is done by playwrights, screen writers, researchers and book authors. Actors seldom have any input to the actual movie. They are told what to say, when to say it and what emotion to show by artistic directors who essentially control everything that happens in a movie. Having said that, I personally sometimes enjoy old westerns because they are invariably corny and predictable to the point of nonsensical, like a good cartoon, so they can make a great release from the reality of a difficult day. I didn’t mean to spoil anyone’s delusions about Mr Wayne…he was a convincing character actor who did his job well.

You didn’t have to pass a driver’s test in those days, lol.

No stunt double...getting a horse to backup like that aint no trick....that's bonified horsemenship right there...🤨

@@123kpatrick: I have a rescue dog that grew up in a horse barn. For the first few years she cantered, trotted and galloped but she never ran like a dog until much later when she saw other dogs running. To thIs day she still backs up like the horse in this video, lol.

Funny enough its recorded Wayne dident like riding horses

That’s a great movie. George Hayes is funny as hell in that one, too.

@@gregshock Indigestion!!!

Before the big fire.

@@wildbillharding Yes, So sad.

@Robert Butler no one gives a damn

You nailed it. Clint's cowboys were usually superheroes. I really enjoyed James Stewart too, in his westerns; he was a very convincing cowboys.

I am 72 ,and truer words 👏were never written, Have a Blessed day 🙏

You got something there.

You are absolutely right there. 👍🏼👌.

Julian, you may be right about Eastwood's earlier 'spaghetti westerns,' but let's not forget that, in the end, he made a sort of restitution with "Unforgiven."

@@pcbacklash_3261 Eastwood, particularly as a director, has made some very good films (my opinion), including "Unforgiven"...but we've long been into the western-as-reality though again, this is a great movie.

Duke was a straight up Conservative where'as Ed wasn't . Even Reagan said that Duke helped him out when Communist infiltration of Hollywood was blighting the industry .. like it's now .. with such ease . There was some FB Page posted a video blatently accusing the Duke of being a racist . The claims said were completely unfounded .and absurd .

@@colintraveller I love the Duke, but Mr Wayne had very conservative views. He had supported segregation and made no apologies about the treatment of native Americans. His comments are a matter of public record and those of us who have studied film, actors and the industry know this. Plus, your comment on communist infiltration shows your agenda clearly. Enjoy the film, but appreciate reality. If you think communists exist in Hollywood today … please.

You had apologies?

@@MMSSLL Lol, it's 90% communist

@@MMSSLL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Hollyweird is chock full of marxists, communists, and various other forms of collectivists. Anyone who says otherwise lies through their teeth.

I think it was called Dollar!

@@wildbillharding In the movie it was Cochise.

@@ryewhiskeyfan5946 Oops! Thanks, Richard.

@@wildbillhardingNo worries and you're welcome. Dollor was the red sorrel he rode in a lot of his later movies and was his preferred mount.

You would be surprised to see how easy it is to teach a horse to back up

@@barrydlewis7768 And how easy it is to get them to do it.

@@aliceharris1998 Have to ride them until they are a little tired. Then, work on that lesson for about an hour. Do that 2 or 3 days and they will remember for life. Best way to tea h any move with a horse is to get them a little tired first. I've had horses for over 30 years. Never ever be mean or cruel to a horse.

Dear lord, you love to gripe. There are many true talented individuals working today. I’ve been lucky to witness some of them up close. I’m not a great actor by any means, but I was a hard working one. How many films have you been in? How many auditions have ever attended? What have you ever brought to the craft?

@@MMSSLL I give an opinion about the current state of the film industry and you ...take offence . Christ you even have the stupidity to ask me how many Audtions i've attended .. It's people like me .. who go and spend money .. at the Cinema .. etc . The older films are still far more enjoyable than the array of tripe being made in Crapwood .

That's reverse on a APPALOOSA normal

No The Searchers. I was never a fan of westerns. I was a fan of John Wayne but westerns never interested me. I saw the Searchers though I saw the Searchers go at 14 and it had me hooked from beginning to end.

He’s got a bunch of good ones, for sure this is up there. I have a hard time deciding between this one in Rio Bravo as being the best versions of the film

His arm was up because he had a nerve/muscle problem, that is key to the final confrontation.

Funny he was lampooned by Harvard for giving his horse a hernia.

@@fernandopineda1589 evidence pls. I think your lying.

@@bugvswindshield I read it from a book/magazine a John Wayne album called DUKE page 143 about his return to Harvard as his movie called Brown of Harvard was filmed there in 1928. In 1974 he was back there by invitation the Harvard Lampoon. He arrived in an 11 ton armored personnel carrier ready for a battle of wits and words.

@@fernandopineda1589 huh, i grew up around rodeo's and lots of of people had horses who could walk backwards and never got a hernia. Not sure if thats what caused it. Might have been a lampoon. Fernando I SALUTE YOU SIR!!! Very few actually do research and do a rebuttal. My hat is off to you good sir! I wish there were more like you who can articulate our differences.

I agree with much of what you say here. There were a lot of back-shooters in the old west among the "Hired Guns". However, according to my research, there was actually a lot of fair one on one quick-draw fights, just not recorded; why? well because most of them happened between cowboys, not the hired guns. Zane Grey and Louis L'amour may have been fictional writers, but they put a lot of research into their writing and actually spoke to cowboys and gunfighters who fought in those days. L'amour had an enormous library that contained over 1,000 biographies of old west gunmen. His best stories are to be found in his short stories, I think. Boone May, Luke Short, Jim Courtright, Ben Thompson, John "King" Fisher, Cullen Baker, Dallas Stoudenmire, Texas John Slaughter, Frank Caton, John R Hughes, Texas Jack Vermillion, Turkey Creek Johnson, these were just a few who played it square. Emerson Hough, Edger Beecher Bronson, Theodore Roosevelt, and famed gun writer Elmer Keith all wrote of many fast-draw gunfights taking place. As to the White Hat westerns you mentioned earlier, a lot of the B-westerns did it right. Roy backed Trigger away from ambush a lot of times, as did Gene and many more.

They hired the horse for its talent!

A couple of my great uncles actually knew Mr. Wayne. They never heard him called anything but “Duke”.

Marion Morris was a man of his times. A better man than most, despite his flaws. Some of his words about Black people are jarring to our current public opinions. However, he also hired Black actors, actresses, and also those behind the scenes. He also hired many Latinos and members of various Tribes. Not just as actors and actresses, but also in numerous positions that most film companies (and other employers) didn't. His work ethic was one of the best in Hollywood, and he employed others shut out by other film companies, providing them an opportunity (or second chance). Keeping them employed. He gave of his time and money to charities, often quietly. He made some mistakes with his kids, and was both a workaholic and a bit of a perfectionist. However, he reconciled with his kids. Not just those who worked with, or for him. His divorces seem to have been because he was a workaholic, and often absent. It seems he was at least somewhat emotionally distant. He suffered numerous physical injuries, in sports (losing his scholarship due to a body surfing accident), as a stuntman, and as an actor. He also had several bouts with cancer. He worked hard, partly because he understood other people's paychecks were dependent upon His performance. John Wayne would always get paid. But if he took a week off most of the crew and extras didn't get paid! Plenty of Hollywood "Stars" didn't care about that, then, and Now. Marion Morris/John Wayne was a flawed person, but he tried to set a good example, and to be Fair to those he worked with. That is worthy of respect.

@@paladinsix9285 Some quotes: About Native American people: “I don’t feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them, if that’s what you’re asking,” he said, adding: ”There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.” “I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people.” Although he expressed his support for African American actors, he told Playboy that he casts them in what he deems to be “proper” roles. “I had a black slave in The Alamo and I had a correct number of blacks in The Green Berets. If it’s supposed to be a black character, naturally I use a black actor,” he said. “But I don’t go as far as hunting for positions for them. I think the Hollywood studios are carrying their tokenism a little too far.” “the academic community has developed certain tests that determine whether blacks are sufficiently equipped scholastically,” and “some blacks have tried to force the issue and enter college when they haven’t passed the tests and don’t have the requisite background.” Asked what sorts of films he considers “perverted” (a term he used himself in a previous answer), Wayne mentioned Easy Rider and Midnight Cowboy, the 1969 buddy drama film starring Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman. “Wouldn’t you say that the wonderful love of those two men in Midnight Cowboy, a story about two f***, qualifies?” Wayne said as he elaborated on “perverted” movies.

Horse shit, GWINE.

@@AlanRoehrich9651 Do a liitle reaearch and learn.

@Active Security Officer I reckon he smoked too much tumbleweed

He was John Wayne. That’s something nobody else could ever be. If you don’t get it, you don’t get it.

Perfectly said. My favorite is when he said “That’s a lie,” twice, in the Quiet Man.” All the best to you and yours.

@@chrisweidner4768: That was a good one. Telling a man, face to face, that he’s a liar, when he’s a liar.

Well you obviously know everything "not" by a long chalk

What do you think about the acting abilities of Robbin Williams or RDJ? Similar to John Wayne, they are very recognizable, and script writers tend to shape their characters to the actor's best traits. Thus it can be easy to notice the actor. watch Good Morning Vietnam, Mrs. Doubtfire, Hook, and Mork & Mindy, you can always see Robbin Williams; no other actor would have played those parts like him. watch Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock, Ironman, and in Tropic Thunder, you can always tell its RDJ, and no one could have played those parts as well. You always notice John Wayne, some scripts and characters allowed him to display his acting talents more than others. The Shootist, The Seachers, The High and the Mighty, No Cabin in the Sky, The Cowboys, True Grit, Wake of the Red Witch, and The Quiet Man are just a few of the movies that John Wayne shows considerable range of acting abilities
