The critics were sniffy about this but I quite enjoyed it. Its one of the better films he made in his later years and drags a bit only when his son and Robert \mitchums lad get involved. Having said that its a better film than Rio Lobo for example.

Richard Boone plays the baddy with some style and its generally good value.

The stand out scene is when Wayne confronts a lynching party to save a sheep herder. Classic.

no--not one of the better ones
..it's good
..so, at the end, there is a lot of killing, of course .....his Indian friend and dog get HACKED to death...yet his sons and he turn into the camera at the end --it goes to a still shot and they are all smiling and happy !
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH

Its about 20/25 minutes in. Comes after the attack on the ranch. Maybe you should watch the film to refresh your memory ?

Weird. That same movie is playing on INSP right now.

Colt Single Action Armys, a Remington derringer, a fake Bergmann, Winchester 1892 carbines, M1903 Springfields, a Mauser, A Remingtom Model 721, and a couple 12 gauge coach guns...

"I thought you wuz dead" ...from Big Jake. Duke Wayne's last couple of movie roles were cartoon characters except for "The Shootist" in 1976. Richard Boone plays a bad guy in that one too.
