Of all his movies, no doubt they would pick this one to do a remake...it's probably the most politically correct of his movies...with a very tough female character.
No way in hell they would do a remake of, say, The Cowboys....that certainly would not fit into the whole "social re-engineering" (rebuke of traditional roles of society)....going on in today's(so-called)entertainment world.
The Cowboys is a great movie, except for the part where John Wayne gets killed. That scene ruins it for me. So earlier, John Wayne and the kids see the bad guys on the next ridge over, looking for them. But that night they build a big campfire and all sit around it with their backs to the dark forest.
So John Wayne didn’t have anyone pull sentry duty? No listening posts? No scouts? No preemptive attack or attempt to confuse the enemy? Nothing in the way of hightened alert?
If John Wayne dies in a movie, it should be because he was being heroic, not stupid, that’s all I’m saying... heh
Fletcher J
It’s not a great film at all. They wouldn’t give Wayne an Oscar until he did engaged in this piece of self parody.
