To all those who can't think of a bad movie he made, I submit "The Conquerers", from 1956, in which he played Gengis Kahn. If you haven't seen it, there's a reason.

I saw part of that movie once in the eighties. It was so bad I couldn’t even watch it.

Yes it proably lead to his death as well as a host of others in the film.

Director Dick Powell, many of the actors (John Wayne, Susan Hayward, Pedro Armendariz, Thomas Gomez, Agnes Moorehead), and several of the crew members later fell victim to cancer, allegedly the result of producer Howard Hughes' decision to lens the film on location near the atomic testing grounds in the Utah desert. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Very sad, Armendariz has several bouts with cancer before he committed sucide. I loved him in The Three Godfathers.

Another really really bad John Wayne movie is “Jet Pilot”.
its only redeeming features are some cool flying scenes with F86 Sabres. You really hate it when it goes back to the people & the dialog.

Yeah the Wayne movie, “The Conquerors” is in my special DVD collection of movies “So Bad Their Good!”.

I was gonna suggest a Worst 10 group with Genghis being at the top of that list.
