    The role of the villain was perfectly overplayed by Brian Thompson. "Let's bleed, pig!"

    Marion Mitchell Morrison (a.k.a. John Wayne) might argue with you on that one. I wouldn't have wanted to be a guy to piss off The Duke, myself.

    true. but in the making of featurette on the dvd, the stunt man said the easiest to work with and making it look real was a tie between stallone and wayne.

    No. Freaking. Way. Sure, Stallone came across as bad ass in the day, but John Wayne was a big, big man in stature, girth, and swagger. I wouldn't have wanted to have messed with him in his prime. He was the real deal, not some Hollywood bad-boy.

    Same goes with men like Charlton Heston and Steve McQueen. Men (or at least actors) just aren't made like they used to be.

    Certainly not through acting talent.

    Can you recommend a good evenhanded biography of him, JP? I've disliked Wayne for some time, but would like to learn a bit more from more unbiased sources. People either love him or lambaste him. I always view Wayne as the icon that virtually raised a few generation of boys, giving them an idealized idea of what it might mean to be a man, while also being an overcompensating 4f. And his over the top jingoist angle was actually one of his better qualities when weighed against his other social views (ie. his role in blacklisting, gender relations & race).

    Anyway, Wayne worship is just one of those things that has always gotten under my skin, but his appeal to so many is pretty hard to deny.
