One of John Waynes most underrated films,I watched it at my local hometown theater in 1970,in the fifth grade,and have watched it numerous times since.

[@MrIrishscouse]

Totally agree. It gets a very bad press even today. It got short shrift in the John Wayne biography I read recently but it's one of my favourite Duke films. I watch it at least once a year. Yet to watch it this year, though. :-)

The cast both main and supporting were awesome. Saw this new in the theater in 1970. The white haired guy is Robert Donner who had many prominent roles from the 1960s to the 80s. Great scenes in which all the bad guys are dispatched handily.

I liked him as the preacher in "High Plains Drifter"!

[@robertotamesis1783]

Correct! Excedor has to show up.

[@tracynation2820]

Wasn't the preacher Clint Eastwood? 💙 T.E.N.

[@josephperry1168]

@@tracynation2820 Clint Eastwood played a 'preacher' in Pale Rider not High Plains Drifter

He’ll always be Yancy Tucker from the Waltons to me…✌🏻

I remember the TV special starring George Plimpton. A writer, Plimpton specialized in doing things such as boxing with a professional boxer, pitching in a professional baseball game, etc. He did that brief "walk on" in Rio Lobo ("I've got a warrant right here, Sheriff") and wrote about it to give people a look at what goes on in making a Western movie. The film was filmed at Old Tucson Studios just outside of Tucson, Arizona.

Watching George Plimpton's special on filming Rio Lobo made me want to see this film, besides it being a John Wayne movie.

[@philiplewis7252]

That's very interesting, thank you! Kindest regards from the UK

[@mikeking7470]

Dang it! Now I gotta watch Rio Lobo again!

[@pcbacklash_3261]

Hehe. I was just thinking the same thing... 😁

[@castercamber]

Old enemy saved his bacon with that last shot.

[@kettch777]

One of the whole points of this movie was that he may have been a Confederate, but he was a decent man nonetheless.

[@DemocratsRPedos]

Robert donner: that guy has been shot and kld in more westerns. The quintessential, all American, bad guy. Great character actor.

God Bless John Wayne & his family

When horses on dirt sounded like they were stomping on marble.

[@peterscocca3024]

George Plimpton sneaking in the back

[@mauriciodasilva134]

Show 👏👏👏

[@tracynation2820]

Super. 💙 T.E.N.

[@aaronstielstra6055]

Writer George Plimpton playing a bad guy and getting properly smeared cross a wall. Very impressive.

[@franciscoaugustorossi9693]

Meu ídolo!!

Yancey Turker turned bank robber after leaving Walton's Mountain.

Whitey! Is that your? Mork! Is that you?

George Plimpton

[@odysseusrex5908]

1:44 I have always felt like, if the sheriff had just continued to bring his gun up and pulled the trigger, he would have taken George Plimpton by surprise and gotten him before George got his shot off.

[@TheMan-je5xq]

1:59 did she fire both shots from that derringer cause two of them were hit. I like how neither of them die from it cause too often people get shot once and die when you can shot several times and not die

[@knotkool1]

george's acting was better than shasta delaney/jenny o'neill

[@aaronstielstra6055]

And way better than Jorge Rivero

[@1950Grendel]

Not hard.

[@larry1824]

Well staged

[@DavidOfWhitehills]

Pink longjohns. You'll win every gunfight, guaranteed. Your life or your money back !

[@ShieldHero1935]

You’re getting to old for this nonsense.

[@ronaldKOESTLINGER]

Rio lobo, Rio de janiero, Rio grande all of these John Wayne movies were the same. Recycled film at best. Can't believe John Wayne said Gene Hackman the worst actor going. Gene Hackman could act circles around John Wayne blindfolded while falling down drunk.

[@jamessimms415]

How do you explain John Wayne being the most popular actor in Hollywood for 20-25 years (& after his passing)?

[@MrIrishscouse]

Gene Hackman's a superb actor. I like John Wayne too but I would disagree with him on Hackie.

[@dominicromano1611]

One badly acted movie.

[@marcusrichardson3800]

This movie really sucked!🤢🤮 Went to the “ well” to many times! Bad acting -- same plot!
