Carradine in one of my favorite John Wayne films, "The Cowboys."
The only JW film where he gets killed, shot in the back by the character played by Bruce Dern. Dern, the actor, would later receive death threats for killing John Wayne on screen.

John Wayne’s last movie, The Shootist. He played an aging gunslinger dying of cancer. He was shot in a shootout near the end. A great western with many heavy Hollywood names.

Dern jokes that he was popular in Berkeley after The Cowboys.

Bruce Dern was the lead character in “Run Silent”.

The left hated that movie (The Cowboys) and was raging against it, I was very happy to watch it on main post in the army.

Also Sands of Iwo Jima, the Shootist.
Carradine speaks in one of my very favorite scenes of all time in “The Cowboys”: “We’re gonna finish a job,” as he spins the cylinder of his gun.
